Inshore Fishing Charters

Fishing trip charters are available year round, they can be arranged to target specific species according to season, and can be booked on daily or half-day rates.

Florida fishing charters offer the excitement of inshore salt water fishing. We charter for all the inshore saltwater species including Tarpon, Snook, Redfish depending on season. Day charters as well as night fishing charters available, including Tarpon night fishing.

Our base is Charlotte Harbor but we fish the surrounding waters and bays. We take you where the fish are!

We recommend booking your charter early to make sure you get the date you want with Captain Dave.

Other Boating Trips

Trips on the water whether you are fishing or just touring, makes you hungry and we can arrange for lunch or dinner on Cabbage Key accessible only by boat. The island home of mystery writer Mary Roberts Rinehart and noted for the place Jimmy Buffet wrote his song "Cheeseburger in Paradise."

If you just want to spend a day on the water we can plan a nature sightseeing tour just for you. Spend time shelling on secluded beaches and island hopping to the nearby barrier islands. Depending on the time of year you can expect to see eagles, osprey, turtles, manatee and dolphins as well as a variety of tropical birds. A private boating trip is a wonderful way to explore nature and learn more about the unique Charlotte Harbor mangrove environment.
