St. Pete Fishing Charters That Deliver Unforgettable Days

Captain Pablo Koch-Schick is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced fisherman that loves fishing so much he wants to share the true fishing experience with you. When Capt. Pablo is not guiding you on a St. Pete fishing charter that will blow your mind, he is fishing commercially for restaurants throughout the Tampa Bay area, from downtown St. Petersburg to Clearwater Beach.

This commercial fishing background means Captain Pablo knows these waters intimately—from the shallow grass flats near Fort De Soto Park to the deep structure around the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and beyond to Egmont Key. This is one of the many reasons that he knows all of the best spots to take you fishing, all while teaching you the best fishing techniques!

Introducing the Orion 29, a luxurious and top-tier fishing vessel, designed to rival the best in its class. It's equipped with a center console design, comfortably accommodating up to 4 anglers, ideal for cruising through the waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in search of a great catch. Powered by the latest Suzuki 300 four-stroke engines, the Orion 29 ensures a reliable and safe return, whether we're fishing the inshore flats or running offshore past the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

This boat is prepared for any fishing escapade. It comes with all essential safety gear, including VHF radio, life jackets, and all Coast Guard-required safety equipment. Additionally, it's equipped with satellite phones and emergency beacons, ensuring utmost safety and comfort on your journey—whether we're exploring the waters near Weedon Island Preserve or venturing to the deep reefs beyond Egmont Key. The Orion 29 isn't just a boat; it's a guarantee of a secure, enjoyable, and luxurious fishing experience.

Our St. Pete fishing charters depart from O'Neill's Marina at the southern point of St. Petersburg, perfectly positioned near the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge. This prime location gives us quick access to some of the most productive fishing grounds in Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

We're conveniently located for guests staying at nearby hotels and resorts, including the historic Vinoy Renaissance Resort, the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort on St. Pete Beach, and the legendary Don CeSar Hotel (the "Pink Palace"). Whether you're visiting from downtown St. Petersburg near the St. Pete Pier and Dali Museum, or staying beachside in Treasure Island or Madeira Beach, we're just a short drive away.

Our central location also makes us accessible from Clearwater, Tampa, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Tarpon Springs, and Bradenton. Tampa International Airport and St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport are both within 30 minutes of our marina, making it easy for out-of-town anglers to start their fishing adventure.

After your charter, you're minutes away from some of the best restaurants in St. Petersburg. Many local establishments, including those along Beach Drive and in the Grand Central District, are happy to cook your fresh catch for you—bringing true "boat-to-table" dining to life!
