Refund Policy
Cancellations due to mechanical defect, strong winds, inclement weather, storm warnings, or rough seas will be made at the dock by the Captain only. When it is determined that the trip should be cancelled, an alternative day may be scheduled or the deposit will be returned to the customer.
In the event that a trip is cancelled after it has started because of sea conditions, a refund will be prorated based on the hours of the trip completed. Offshore fishing trips of 8 hours or more duration will be downgraded to a nearshore trip if rough waters prevent the safe passage of the vessel. Fishing would then take place in protected waters close to land or in Tampa Bay.
All cancellations made by the customer, less than 7 days from departure are NON-REFUNDABLE.
Still finding a good number to Tarpon in and around South Passage. Easy to load up on good sized Herring around the bridge. Although you can fight the structure and land a fish by the Skyway, the beach is where its at. This fish taken on beach patrol in shallow water during slack tide on greeny with a breakaway lead.

Too Busy to post individual catches so here are some from recent trips… Below are some Amberjack we have caught outside of St Petersburg, FL this year. Deep Sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico about 25-50 miles offshore of St. Pete Beach, Florida. Contact us for Deep Sea fishing charter information.
Hot temps have moved these big game fighters offshore. Book a trip today and see for yourself why these fish are pound for pound the hardest fighting fish out there. There is good reason Amberjack is known as the “Reef Donkey”!!
