Our Unique Fishing Charters

The Reel Charters offers different fishing charters for all occasions and angler experience levels. Our expert crews take guests out deep to fish the reefs and wrecks off St. Pete Beach or can stick closer to shore to see what’s biting. Examples of our most popular fishing charters include:

  • Offshore – The Gulf of Mexico is absolutely teeming with life! Our crews know all the best fishing spots out deep. We provide our guests with tackle and fishing gear designed to handle some of the largest and most elusive species of fish that gather in the warm waters off Florida’s coast.
  • Inshore – Rather than going too far out, our charter boats can stay closer to shore. We traverse the waterways and shallows around Tampa Bay, where our guests can catch hundreds of unique fish species in one of Florida’s largest open-water estuaries.
  • Tarpon Fishing – The tarpon is one of the most challenging and trophy-worthy game fish for the sports fisherman. The Reel Charters understands tarpon spawn locations and migration patterns, so we can always take you to where this prized fish is biting.
  • Shark Fishing – Few fishing trips are more exhilarating than shark fishing! We spend the day with guests, targeting some of the Gulf of Mexico’s many shark species. There’s nothing quite like the pride and excitement of reeling in one of the beasts of the deep!
