Mark Maloney, Captain at Gulf Goats Charters

Barracudaville Charters is a full-time charter operator that offers great fishing trips year round! No matter what time of year you come to St. Petersburg, Florida, there's always something to catch.

You will spend the day aboard the Dorado (Center console), offering plenty of space for up to 6 anglers to be casting at any time.
