Florida has such diverse fishing available, it’s no wonder it’s one of the top places to go fishing. Inshore fishing will be a great day out for the whole family. What are you waiting for? Come and see for yourself, with Finntastick Charters, why this is the place to fish. Captain David Maki, with the official Florida Friendly Fishing Guide badge is ready to show you some awesome fishing.

You will spend the day aboard a 25’ Carolina Skiff. This beautiful boat can fit 5 guests comfortably – grab your friends and come make some magical memories together. She is equipped with the latest safety and navigational equipment to ensure you have a carefree day.

Come aboard for scalloping, it’s a great season this year and an awesome experience! Never done this before? No worries – Capt. David will be by your side telling you the tricks of the trade the whole time. For these trips, he will also have a dive certified first mate on board. On days when you reach the Scallop limit before your trip is over, you can spend a little time swimming in the springs to cool off after.

For those that prefer classic fishing, you can book Capt. David’s other trips instead. You will use top rods and reels that won’t let you down when you hook your trophy fish. The gear is included in the price, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own along. You will try various techniques, including trolling and jigging.

No matter your experience level, you will find your sea legs with Capt. David. He is full of enthusiasm to teach one and all. He doesn’t put a minimum age on his trips as he knows that the parents know best. Some people start fishing from the moment they can hold a rod after all.

You are welcome to bring along food and snacks on these trips. After the trip, Capt. David will fillet your catch for you, leaving you the hard choice of how to cook it once you are home!

Finntastick Charters is waiting for you now, so book a trip soon and experience the beloved Nature Coast.

Full Day Trip - 5 PPL MAX on October 23, 20254 adults
We are a group of four old fishing buds for over 40 years. Today was one of those memorable days we will always recall. Dave was gracious, friendly, helpful and supportive of our day and time together. we caught fish, but that never matters to us. its slways been sbout being together and catching up. Dave fit right in. We enjoyed it so much we are doing it again in three days.

Half Day Trip (AM) 5 PPL MAX on July 9, 20251 adult1 child
My 12-yr old son and I made a two trip with Finntastick and had a great time. We caught plenty of redfish, trout, French grunt, and mangrove snapper. We got to see dolphins herding mullet and driving them in the air. We saw sting rays and a few big nurse sharks under the boat. We even caught a remora off the back of a big green sea turtle as it glided past my bait. The captain did a great job instructing my son on casting and strategy on the various types of species and habitats.
