Fintastic in

Fintastic Fishing Charters offers offshore and deep-sea fishing adventures from Historic John’s Pass in Madeira Beach, Florida. Led by Captain Steve Papen and supported by experienced captains and crew, the company serves visitors and local anglers from the St. Pete, Clearwater, and greater Tampa Bay area. Its trips are tailored to the season, conditions, and each group’s experience, with options ranging from half-day outings to full-day offshore runs and longer-range trips.

Anglers can target Gulf species including grouper, red and mangrove snapper, hogfish, amberjack, king mackerel, and wahoo. Full-day trips during grouper season come with the Original Grouper Guarantee: if the catch does not include a legal grouper, the trip is free. Fintastic provides professional-grade rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and instruction, as well as clean, maintained vessels and a safety-focused crew. The charters welcome beginners and experienced anglers, including families, couples, and small groups. Guests are asked to bring sunscreen, drinks, and snacks. Bookings are available by phone at (727) 642-3411.
