For some, experiencing Tampa includes a whole lot of shopping and dining. There are endless opportunities for play, including some of the state’s most popular attractions.
But for others, Tampa is best experienced from the water. There’s really no end to the different types of boat experiences you can have in and around the massive Tampa Bay area. While staying at one of our Tampa vacation rentals, you really can take to the water and see Tampa in the way it should be.
Get out on the water. Take a look at the below boat rentals and charters in Tampa Bay and the surrounding area to go on a true gulf adventure.
Clearwater Charters
You will have to head on over to the world of Clearwater to appreciate this top boat charter provider. The journey with Captain Rick will carry you about four hours out into the gulf on the hunt for some top-tier fishing. The most sought-after of these is the King Mackerel, which Captain Rick is famous for getting on the end of his line on many trips.
Rick also knows how to win over the dolphin, as they commonly bounce and play behind his boat. Private trips are about $400 for a crew. Trips can either take you into the nearshore areas of Tampa and Clearwater or within the inshore. Charter prices are set on half-day, ¾ day, or full day rates.
Hop on board with Clearwater Fishing Charters and Captain Rick for the best chance of some serious seasonal fishing.
Daisy Mae Fishing Charters
Don’t let the adorable name fool you. Daisy Mae Fishing charters can offer you an intense and long fishing excursion if you want it. The Daisy Mae is primed and ready to go for some exciting sport fishing for snapper, grouper, and more.
But you can even take this to another level. The Daisy Mae is just the boat to carry you into the deep waters for competitive-styled fishing, including marlin, sailfish, wahoo, and tuna.
This provider is focused on providing ambitious and challenging fishing excursions for anyone up for the adventure. Four-hour trips are about $500 for a small group up to 15 miles offshore. But you can venture 25 miles offshore for $800 for flounder, red drum, and the rare hogfish.
The best value on the website is for a massive and epic 12-hour trip up to 75 miles offshore. This provider knows what they are doing and is easily the finest boat charter experience for anyone seeking a serious-minded challenge in the heart of the Gulf of Mexico.
Tampa Bay Boat Rentals
While the above two options provide some incredible charter experiences in the gulf, Tampa Bay Boat Rentals gives you the option to DIY the whole adventure. Rent a boat and scour the waters as you see fit. Hop aboard a pontoon boat or go fast behind the 2006 Supra.
Rates are determined by the week or by the month. Weekly rentals are available for around $200 a day and monthly rates are $100 a day. Fish deep in the gulf or cruise the coast. You can tube with the family or just lounge out on the water, as you roll ever-so-subtly back and forth amongst the waves. It is your adventure to create.
The marina is located at 1818 Paleo Point Dr, Ruskin, FL 33570-2701. If this is far from your vacation rental, you can consider delivery. Delivery locations include Maximo Park, Williams Park, the Davis Islands, and more. You can work with us to get you a boat rental delivered in your proximity if needed.
