The most fun you’ll have before lunch.
Four hours on Tampa Bay with Captain Gavin O’Neal. Cold drinks, music aboard, rods bending, and a photo of every fish you land. Rods, live bait and licence are already on the boat — you just show up. $150 books your date.
Never fished? Perfect. Cancel 24 hours or more ahead for a full refund.
Straight off the camera roll
No stock photos. These are recent days on Gavin’s boat, taken the way he takes yours: the second the fish comes over the side.
Your photo goes here next.
Book your tripDon’t take our word for it. Press play.
Fishing usually starts within twenty minutes of pickup, and Gavin has been out since before sunrise catching live bait so the action starts fast. He handles the knots, the hooks and the fish. You handle the fun part.

Up to six aboard. Every trip is private, so the day runs at your group’s speed.
Kids and families
Four hours is the sweet spot for short attention spans. Snacks, a bathroom aboard, and a captain who’s a dad himself.

Pickup anywhere permitted on the bay, from Apollo Beach and Hooks Waterfront to Hula Bay and O’Neal’s Marina.
