Tampa Fishing Charters from St. Pete

If you're searching for a fishing charter in Tampa or a Tampa Bay fishing charter, you're in the right market, but the best Gulf runs leave from St. Petersburg, not the congested Tampa side of the bay. Captain Cuda Charters is a short drive across the bridge: free parking at our home marina, then straight out to the Gulf on Phat Kat, a 32 ft World Cat (catamaran).

We can also meet your group in downtown St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, or elsewhere on Tampa Bay when that's easier than driving to the dock. Every charter is private, your group only, up to 6 guests.

All fishing charters run in the Gulf of Mexico. Five-hour Gulf trips start at $1,500. For offshore reef and wreck fishing 30–40 miles out, see our deep sea fishing charters page, that's a different trip profile from a general Tampa Bay day charter.
