As first responders and veterans, our escape from frontline chaos was always the same: getting out on the water. Whether on a quiet island or fishing, we experienced the power and healing of time on the boat. Inspired, we share this escape with those who serve and protect our communities.
Sportsman Charters, owned and operated by veterans and first responders, provides safe, relaxing, and memorable fishing charters, sunset eco-tours, and island adventures. We partner with 501(c)(3) organizations, mental health professionals, and unions to offer no-cost private charters for those experiencing service-related stressors through referrals. This is our way of giving back to those who protect us.
With over 35 years of navigating Pinellas County and beyond, we deliver high-quality, personalized charter experiences without the overcrowding, stress, or risks of commercial operations or unfamiliar rentals. We believe in the calming power of the water—wildlife, waves, and living in the moment. At Sportsman Charters, you create lifelong memories.
We look forward to meeting you!
