Experience the thrill of the Florida coast with Wish Upon A Fish, your premier choice for an exclusive Clearwater fishing charter. Strategically located in the heart of Clearwater, Florida, we specialize in providing both novice and veteran anglers with unforgettable adventures. Whether you are looking for a relaxing day on the water or a high-energy pursuit of the catch of a lifetime, our trips are designed to create lasting memories against the backdrop of some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in the world.

Navigating the vibrant Clearwater Bay and the expansive Gulf nearshore waters, Captain Ethan Hamrick brings a lifetime of local expertise to every excursion. As a licensed United States Coast Guard Captain born and raised in the Tampa Bay area, Ethan’s deep-rooted passion for the sport shines through his teaching and guidance. His extensive knowledge of Florida’s diverse ecosystems—stretching from the local flats to the Florida Keys—ensures that your group is always positioned in the most productive spots, regardless of the season.

When you book a private fishing charter Clearwater residents and visitors trust, you’ll step aboard a 22’ Tidewater bay boat specifically engineered for performance and comfort. This vessel is fully equipped with professional-grade tools, including a trolling motor, power-pole, and a T-top for essential shade during those sunny Florida afternoons. Designed to accommodate up to six passengers, the boat provides a stable and spacious platform for targeting a massive variety of species, including Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Gag Grouper, and King Mackerel.

We take pride in being a family-friendly operation, making our charters the perfect choice for a day out with the kids. To make your trip as seamless as possible, we provide all the necessary rods, reels, live bait, and tackle. Your fishing license is also included in the package, allowing you to simply show up and focus on the excitement of the hunt. To ensure the best possible experience, we recommend bringing non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and your favorite snacks to keep your energy up.

While we provide ice-cold drinks, guests are welcome to bring their own refreshments (alcohol in moderation is permitted, though we ask that you avoid glass bottles). From the seasonal run of Spanish Mackerel to the elusive Tripletail, Wish Upon A Fish is ready to show you the very best of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
