Get ready to chase the Silver King on an adrenaline-pumping Tarpon adventure aboard a 25' SeaVee center console. Available from May through July, this trip puts you right in the middle of peak Tarpon season—when these legendary game fish are cruising the coast and ready to put up the fight of a lifetime. With their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps, Tarpon deliver a heart-pounding challenge that anglers never forget.

The 25' SeaVee is a nimble and efficient fishing machine, ideal for running the beaches and navigating tight inshore spots where Tarpon like to feed. It’s equipped with top-quality rods, reels, bait, and tackle, plus a cooler with ice to keep your snacks and drinks cold throughout the trip.

Your captain brings the local knowledge and expert techniques needed to put you on fish, whether you're casting live bait to rolling Tarpon or sight-fishing along the shallows. You don’t need to worry about licenses either—they’re covered under the captain’s credentials, so you’re clear to fish from the moment you step on board.

Austin was a super nice guide and we enjoyed our trip. However, e had very little success as we caught only one Tarpon and then three sharks in four hours. I know not every trip is productive, but it was a very disappointing trip for what we paid.

Response from Ariel:

Joel, any kind of game fish like a tarpon or a sailfish can be tough to catch specially on a 4 hour trip. Anytime you catch one is a good trip in my opinion. We do have days that every bait in the water gets hit nonstop but those days more uncommon. For action and keeping the rod bent I would suggest fishing the reef for snappers, grouper, mackerels and stuff like that. Thank you.
