2-Hour VIP Guided Beach Surf Fishing Trip

Price: $250 | Duration: 2 Hours | Guests: Up to 2 People Included | Maximum Group Size: 6

Booking required at least 24 hours before your trip's start time.

Skip the bait-shop logistics and heavy lifting. Step onto the sand for a fully set-up, private beach surf fishing trip in the St. Petersburg, Florida area. Designed for families, vacationers, and anglers of all skill levels, this experience combines local coaching with coastal comfort. This is a land-based trip, not a boat excursion.

Choose to fish on the beach behind your hotel or at another beach location in the Madeira Beach or greater St. Petersburg area. Tell us your preferred location when you contact us, and we'll confirm the fishing spot and meeting arrangements before you pay.

Your dedicated guide, Gary, will have your fishing setup rigged and ready when you arrive.

Optional Trophy Spec Upgrade — Additional $80 for Two Guests

Upgrade to heavy-duty, large-wire hooks and fluorocarbon leaders for targeting trophy snook and redfish. One $80 upgrade covers two guests. The upgrade also replaces those two guests' complimentary regular-size shrimp with premium, hand-picked jumbo shrimp at no additional bait charge. Additional guests are not included in this $80 upgrade.

Seasonal fishing note: Snook generally move off the beaches during winter, so beach snook fishing is not a year-round expectation. Target species vary with the season and conditions, and catches are not guaranteed.
