Full description

We leave Central Florida and travel along the interstate passed Tampa to the Gulf of Mexico. Once at the beach you will have until 12.45pm to stroll down the pier or beach, and perhaps grab lunch if you wish. The afternoon deep sea fishing boat departs at 1pm and it is a 4 hour long cruise.

The fishing grounds are around 10 miles from the dockside, so typically this takes between 45mins- 1hour to travel there. If you haven’t fished before do not fear, we have a friendly crew onboard that can definably help you. Ask the deckhand for pointers during the cruise out to the fishing grounds and make the most of your fishing time.

Usually the boat makes 2 -3 stops but it depends on how the fish are co-operating! We catch Grunts (Snapper family), Sea Bass and the occasional Grouper. In warmer months we have caught species of shark.

If you want to keep the catch, the crew will ice it for you, and don't forget a cooler for the journey back!

It’s off to the white sands and warm waters of Clearwater Beach, where you can enjoy free time until 1pm when the boat departs the dock!

If you purchase the option to include lunch, we include gift cards to enjoy lunch at an award winning marina fronted restaurant. Or if you opt to choose your own lunch restaurant we recommend you eat prior to heading to the boat, and there are many restaurants and fast food outlets at the beachside.

Then, we're off for an afternoon to enjoy a four-hour fishing cruise into the Gulf of Mexico at west central Florida’s most productive reef.

Expect to catch a variety of fish and to keep anything that surpasses regulated length and weight.

After we finish, we will cruise back to the dock where fish cleaning is available. Join us on an exciting afternoon of fun under the sun!

We enjoyed it but the boat ride took up too much time so in retrospect we would have just visited the Space Centre as we really enjoyed this and were disappointed to have to leave so early.

It was an entertaining experience to Clearwater beach with Adam Rubman. He was way before time, took care of everyone, gave much needed information and trust me you won’t get bored on your Journey. Would definitely recommend tour with him and Gray line tours!
