What to Expect
Experience the best of Florida fishing with Barracudaville Charters, operated by Captain Mark Maloney - a third-generation captain with 26 years of experience on these waters. Our federally permitted charters allow us to venture beyond 9 miles offshore, giving you access to the Gulf's premier fishing grounds.
Step aboard our 30-foot Dorado, a locally designed sportfishing boat perfectly suited for both Tampa Bay and Gulf waters. Built in 2003 and powered by a robust 300 HP Suzuki engine, our vessel comfortably accommodates up to 6 passengers with ample shade for sun protection and all the amenities you need for a successful day on the water.
Choose between exciting inshore adventures through shallow flats, mangrove islands, and bridges where you'll target Redfish, Trout, and Snook - or head offshore for bigger game like Barracuda, Kingfish, Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and Mahi Mahi. We're equipped with GPS navigation, fish finders, and a wireless trolling motor to put you on the fish.
We provide everything you need: fishing license, quality rods and reels, tackle, live bait, lures, and even clean your catch at the end of the day. Captain Mark's extensive local knowledge ensures a memorable fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels.
Whether you're planning a family outing or a serious fishing expedition, Barracudaville Charters delivers the perfect combination of comfort, expertise, and prime fishing opportunities in the beautiful waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
