  It’s Hammer Time!

  5 Hour Trip on April 24, 2026 • 8 adults • 3 children

  We booked the 5-hour shark fishing excursion looking to mix things up on our annual Florida vacation—and it absolutely delivered. Our group of 8 included 4 kids (ages 8–15), so we went in with realistic expectations knowing fishing isn’t always guaranteed… but we were definitely hoping for at least one shark. After a few missed bites, things got real. Sol and Canyon jumped in to guide us through reeling in not one, but TWO hammerhead sharks at the same time. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we pulled in a third hammerhead shortly after. It took about 15–20 minutes of intense reeling, switching hands, and full group effort—it was chaotic in the best way possible and such a rush. The beginning of the excursion was super laid back while we waited for bites. The kids stayed entertained building sandcastles, playing in the water, and tossing a football around, while the adults relaxed, had a few drinks, and took in an incredible sunset. It really felt like the perfect mix of beach day + adventure. A few tips: bring a cooler with snacks and drinks, pack chairs if you prefer something specific, and definitely bring activities for kids during the slower periods. Also, it gets cooler in the evening, so don’t forget a sweatshirt or light jacket. Overall, this was a 5/5 experience. Solomon and Canyon were friendly, knowledgeable, and completely dialed in when the action started. If you’re thinking about doing this—do it! And make sure your phone is charged… you’re going to want video proof of this kind of memory.

  6 Hour Trip – Night on March 31, 2026

  I was itching to add some adventure to our typical spring break vacation. The rest of my large family, (20 people split over 3 condos) wasn't so sure but I decided to book an off-shore Shark fishing trip. 20 years worth of Spring Breaks in Tampa and this was BY FAR the most exciting and fun of all. Captain Solomon was awesome at communicating, letting me know what to expect, and flexible. He came to us and setup on the beach in front of our Condo! The whole family had a blast, but almost all went inside after 11:00pm to go to sleep. At midnight the line took off and my boys and I fought the shark for 20 plus minutes. By the time we landed it, the rest of the family had run down and go to get in on all the fun. I would 100% recommend Captain Solomon as he made it such an incredible experience. I've been telling shark stories non-stop because everyone thought it was an April Fool's joke. Nope, this is the real deal. Do yourself a favor and throw some adventure into your vacations, you won't regret it!

  Great Time!

  4 Hour Trip – Night on March 24, 2026 • 8 adults • 6 children

  We didn’t land a shark this time—but honestly, we still had an awesome experience! A boat ended up running through and taking out our lines, which was out of anyone’s control, but Solomon and Canyon handled everything like pros. They were knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip fun from start to finish. Even without the big catch, they kept the energy up and made sure we still enjoyed every minute. If you’re looking for a great time and a crew that truly cares about your experience, I’d absolutely recommend fishing with them. We’ll definitely be back to try again! 🦈🎣

  Best Shark Fishing In Tampa

  6 Hour Trip – Night on October 13, 2025

  Hands-down the best fishing trip I’ve ever been on! Solomon, Canyon and Seren were super professional but also friendly and down to earth — they made the whole experience fun, safe, and really hands-on. We caught several big sharks and even a few rare species I never expected to see up close. What I really loved was how the crew made it enjoyable for everyone, no matter your experience level. They were patient with beginners and still kept things exciting for the more seasoned anglers. You could tell they genuinely love what they do and wanted everyone to have a great time. If you want to catch sharks and big ones at that, book here. I’m already planning my next trip with them!

  Unforgettable Experience!

  6 Hour Trip – Night on October 12, 2025

  My family and I went participated in the night shark fishing trip and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. We had such a great time that we ended up booking the trip again for the very next night! Overall we caught 3 hammerheads, a lemon, blacktip, and sharp nose. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe and involved. The excitement of night fishing combined with the thrill of reeling in sharks made for memories we'll never forget. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a unique and thrilling adventure. Can’t wait to come back again!
