Captain Kenny is the best! My husband and I had so much fun we ended up doing a second trip at…read moresunset the day after our afternoon trip. Kenny had all the best spots to catch different kinds of fish. We caught Jackfish, grouper, Snook, Ladyfish, Catfish, Sailcatfish, Red Snapper, Mackerel, probably others but that's just what I remember. I liked that Kenny did all the dirty work for me by baiting my hook and unhooking the fish we caught. When we were cruising to the different spots, Kenny had good music for us to listen to and took requests as well. After our trip Kenny filleted the fish for us to take home. My husband made grouper nuggets cooked using Kenny's recommendation and they were delicious and so so fresh! I would absolutely recommend using St Pete Beach Charters the next time you are looking to go out on a fishing trip. Kenny had everything you need and was fun, courteous, and knowledgeable. You can really tell he loves what he does and genuinely wants you to have fun and catch fish. We already are planning on another trip (8 hours this time) the next time we are in St. Petersburg!

They were informative along the way to and from and the captain even paid for our sodas on the way back in b/c we didn't have cash. The marina itself was easy to access and mostly calm. The check in gentleman was a bit unfriendly and angry in his delivery of orders- but perhaps he had good reason. Just not the most friendly start the day. All of what he said was likely valid, it was just the angry tone in delivery that felt off. All and all, I would definitely book again if we come back to the area!

The whole process was seamless and the experience was great. I highly suggest you book with them!

I was very pleased with how well Captain Randy communicated and provided additional insight. Upon closer to the time for our day I had a follow up conversation with Cassie who provided even more information that brought comfort not only to me but my guests as well. They provided a cooler with ice and water as well as numerous floats and shelling bags. The whole experience was relaxing and refreshing. Our captain for the day was Jordan and she was Spectacular with keeping us on time and showing us around. We did a 4 hour boat tour but were able to have time on the slide and visit two islands. Truly an unforgettable experience for families and groups alike. 10/10 will be booking again for a longer time. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience.

I reserved the princess Yacht Charter to celebrate my Birthday on…read moreMay 30th. The yacht was supposed to include the following features and amenities: * 4 staterooms, 3 bathrooms * Covered aft deck seating for 6. * Air-conditioned interior cabin with dining table seating. * Large sun pad on the bow for sunbathing. * Bathrooms equipped with Vacu-Flush toilets. * Standing shower in the bathroom. * Minibar, ice maker, 43" Smart TV. * High-speed Wi-Fi connection. * Bluetooth 1200w JL Audio stereo system. * 21.5kw generator providing full ship power for electronics and more. * Underwater Jets. * Inflatable cabana. * Galley. * Smart Cast TV. * Satellite. * Wi-Fi. * A/C and Heat. * Watermaker. * Icemaker. * Three full bathrooms with showers. * Toiletries. As listed on the website. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the yacht, there were numerous issues, including: * No electricity in any outlets on the boat as the generator was not functioning (we could not charge our phones or plug in anything. * The Tv would not even turn on for us to use the smart cast TV. * 2 out of 4 staterooms were taped shut with a handwritten note that says, "Crew Only" * No Wi-Fi at all (there was a Wi-Fi router, but it was not operational). * The Bluetooth 1200w JL Audio stereo system was NOT functioning (which meant there was NO MUSIC throughout the 70 ft yacht. We found a battery-operated Bluetooth speaker that was intentionally left there because he knew the full speaker system was not working but did not inform me). * Only 1 bathroom out of 3 promised was accessible due to the staterooms being locked. * NO ACCESS TO A SHOWER AT ALL AS IT WAS INTENTIONALLY LOCKED in the one bathroom that was unlocked * No Blow-Up cabana * There were NO WATER JETS AT ALL (We did not even see the water jets until we were leaving the boat and one of the crew members opened a locked stateroom door and we saw that the water jets were inside that locked stateroom.) I promptly contacted Shane to voice my concerns, as the situation was unfair to both me and my guest. We had anticipated enjoying all the amenities, yet not even a shower was accessible in the bathroom. Shane mentioned that the amenities were not guaranteed, but he never informed me prior to booking that these features would be unavailable for my reservation. When I confronted him about his website not indicating that these rooms and amenities were not guaranteed, he immediately went to amend the wording on the site concerning the locked rooms. He then texted me to say we couldn't use the water jets because we were consuming alcohol, despite the fact that not everyone on the boat was drinking. Additionally, we were not offered the chance to use them before we started drinking. I had to argue with him about my security deposit, which I eventually did receive back. I would never recommend booking with this man if you are a Black person. They seemed overly fearful of having us on the yacht, locking away everything, including the shower water jets and cabanas that were advertised on the site. There were no functioning electrical outlets, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, nothing. This is truly an ultimate SCAM charters.

The owner of this fleet keeps these boats in top condition, and also keeps sea bobs and a huge lily pad to have fun on your trip. He also chooses the most knowledgeable, safe, and laid back captains to host your experience. If you aren't from here I can't recommend enough to take a look at Tampa Bay from the water like this. It is always a memorable time and totally worth the money. Don't waste it on jet skis or silly boat tours. This is truly the best way to experience Tampa Bay, in affordable luxury.

Eric, the captain of our trip, made our trip extremely comfortable and provided us with great insight into fun facts that we were unaware of regarding both the voyage, boat, and surrounding area. On top of the highest quality communication and service, they were willing to accommodate a last minute change to the destination of our charter due to the effects of Helene, and they even gave us a ride back to our hotel after we docked the boat! Truly couldn't speak more highly of these folks! Will absolutely be chartering with them on our next trip to St Petersburg.

We felt we could reach out and touch them. As we got to the skyway and turned towards shore, the captain asked if we would like to sail, which we did for a while. It was spectacular. The catamaran was beautiful, clean, comfy and cozy. We were briefed on where to find the lifejackets and there was a small raft on the aft.
