Downtown Tampa Charters

Booked with Captain Max as a birthday gift to my boyfriend and it was easily one of the best gifts! Max guaranteed we would catch fish, and that’s what happened! He is very knowledgeable on the water, will make sure you enjoy your time and even give you a stroll through Tampa! We will be booking with Captain Max again, no doubt! 10/10 recommend!

We’ve fished a lot in the tampa area- by ourselves & with friends and booked a few charters just to get a different experience. Max and his crew were phenomenal. Taught while we fished, were patient with young kids, switched it up when the fish weren’t biting and all around just a wonderful experience.

Came to Tampa for a quick vacation and booked a half-day afternoon trip with Max. He contacted my buddy and I a little bit before our trip and said if we were flexible with time it would be better conditions if we waited an hour, he even offered to pick us up if we didn't have a rental car! He took us around to a bunch of spots and had a great time catching snook, snapper, and red fish. He is very knowledgeable about the waterways and Tampa in general and showed us around and gave tidbits about the area. He has a great personality and I never once felt out of place on his boat. I would definitely book him again if I'm down this way and I wish him well in the future as his business grows.

Downtown Tampa Charters is the best fishing charter in Tampa I’ve ever been on! Captain Max is extremely knowledgeable, respectful of the Tampa waterways, fun, and efficient! He had everything ready for our trip- license, permits, fishing poles, bait, water, etc... and we were catching fish within 10 minutes of boarding his boat! Captain Max knew just the time and place to go, what bait to use, how deep to fish, etc... and helped us all have a really enjoyable and relaxing fishing experience. I can not recommend Captain Max and Downtown Tampa Charters enough!

I have been fishing with Capt. Max for many years. He is a first class captain that is always on the fish! He is very patient with families and takes time to teach the younger generation the essentials of flats fishing. I can assure you that you will always have a great time on the water with Capt. Max and create some great memories. I highly recommend him.

Capt. Max has been fishing the downtown Tampa/Hillsborough Bay area his entire life. He is an extremely knowledgeable captain and will without a doubt put you on fish. Whether you want an intense trip of flats fishing, a more relaxed family oriented trip for the kids, or anything in between, Capt. Max and Downtown Tampa Charters is the way to go.
