About Your Trip

Step aboard with Captain Hunter for a personalized fishing adventure along Florida’s Gulf Coast, where every trip is about more than just catching fish—it’s about creating unforgettable moments on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or holding a rod for the first time, Hunter delivers a guided experience that’s relaxed, professional, and always tailored to your pace.

With over 15 years of experience fishing the waters around Tarpon Springs, New Port Richey, Palm Harbor, and Clearwater, Captain Hunter knows exactly where to go to find the bite. From tucked-away honey holes to time-tested fishing grounds, you’ll explore the best the area has to offer while learning from a tournament-winning, USCG-licensed captain who’s passionate about sharing his craft.

You’ll fish aboard a custom vessel fully outfitted for comfort and performance, stocked with top-tier rods and tackle, fresh live bait, and everything you need to fish stress-free—including your fishing license, ice, and plenty of space to relax. Just bring whatever snacks or drinks you’d like and get ready to enjoy your time on the water.

Trips are available in 4, 6, or 8-hour blocks to match your schedule and experience level:

The 4-hour half day is perfect for families or newcomers looking to enjoy a quick, fun outing with plenty of action and scenery.

The 6-hour charter offers the best of both worlds—more time on the water without committing to a full day.

The 8-hour full day is ideal for dedicated anglers who want to cover a range of fishing grounds and target bigger or more elusive species.

Captain Hunter welcomes families, kids, groups, corporate outings, and solo anglers alike. His boat is designed to accommodate all experience levels, with guidance and tips along the way to ensure everyone gets the most out of the trip. From light-tackle action to deep sea drops, each charter is built around your goals.

With award-winning service and a reputation for delivering friendly, high-quality, and fish-filled days, Captain Hunter’s trips are as much about the experience as they are about the catch.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
