About This Charter

From late April through mid August, the focus turns to tarpon on Florida's west coast. Known as the Silver King, tarpon migrate through Tampa Bay in impressive numbers and deliver one of the most exciting fights in sport fishing.

These private charters are designed for anglers looking for a true big fish experience. Captain Bryan Foley targets tarpon during the prime seasonal window and adjusts the plan around fish movement, weather and tides to give guests the best shot at a memorable hookup.

Tarpon trips include the full charter setup, required fishing licenses, bait, rods, tackle, water, ice, safety equipment and adult life jackets. Tarpon charters may include a first mate, whose compensation is handled through gratuity.
