Island Time Family Charters – St Pete

Spend the day with Island Time Family Charters and discover what fishing in St. Petersburg is all about!

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Gag Grouper, Tripletail, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and plenty more. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit are yours to keep, and the captain can even clean your catch for you. Enjoy it later that day, or pack it away for months down the line.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 23’ Center console with space for 5 passengers. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this, so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

This family-friendly charter boat covers your fishing license. Just show up ready for a good time, and feel free to bring the kids! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask, and your captain can tell you more. It’s always a good idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and snacks. Drinks will be available for you.

Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen with Island Time Family Charters!
