3-Hour Private Guided Beach Fishing Trip for Up to 8 Guests

Price: $849 per private group | Duration: 3 hours | 5–8 guests only | Two guides

Book at least 48 hours before your preferred trip date and start time.

Bring your family or friends together for a fully set-up, private guided beach surf fishing trip in Madeira Beach, FL. Based in St. Pete, FL, we help your group enjoy a relaxed outing from the sand. Skip the bait-shop logistics and heavy lifting, and enjoy fishing from the sand with your group. This is a beach fishing experience, not a boat excursion or wade fishing trip.

Two Guides, Plenty of Help and Coaching

Your group has two guides. We limit each guide to a maximum of four guests to provide the best service and fishing experience possible, so everybody gets plenty of individual help, attention, and coaching. From getting comfortable with the equipment to casting instruction and spotting bites, your guides help beginners get started and support more experienced anglers throughout the trip. Your fishing setups will be rigged and ready when you arrive.

Confirm Your Date Before Paying

A minimum of 48 hours' advance notice is required. This advance notice helps us coordinate both guides and arrange enough live shrimp for your entire group on the day of your trip. Email sunshinecityoutfitters@gmail.com or Johanasunshinecityoutfitters@gmail.com, or text 727-222-9950. Include your preferred date, start time, total guest count, experience levels, and hotel name or preferred beach location. Confirm both guides' availability, start time, fishing spot, and meeting arrangements before placing your order. An inquiry alone does not reserve a trip.

What's Included

• Two dedicated guides: 3 hours of fishing help, casting instruction, and local surf-reading knowledge, with up to four guests per guide.
• Rod-and-reel setups: One high-quality surf casting rod-and-reel combo per participating guest, for up to eight guests.
• All terminal tackle: Double-hook rigs, hooks, pyramid weights, swivels, beads, and surf leader lines.
• Beach chairs: A clean beach chair for each participating guest.

One Group Price for Five to Eight Guests

These trips are only available for groups of five to eight guests. A minimum of five guests is required; groups of one to four should choose our smaller beach fishing trips.

The $849 package price covers one private group of up to eight guests with two guides. This is the total group price, not a per-person price. Confirm your exact guest count before payment so we can prepare the appropriate equipment. Separate additional-guest add-ons are not needed for guests within this package's eight-person limit. No more than eight guests may join this booking.

Your Beach Location

Based in St. Pete, FL, we offer beach fishing in the Madeira Beach and greater St. Petersburg area. Tell us if you would prefer the beach behind your hotel or another local beach. Your guides will confirm a suitable fishing spot and exact meeting arrangements before payment, taking conditions and your group's needs into account. A requested location is subject to confirmation.

What to Bring

• Polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat.
• Your favorite beach drinks and snacks.
• A camera for your group's memories.
