Captain, Boat & Marina
Reel Coquina Fishing is led by Captain Pablo Koch-Schick, an experienced St. Petersburg captain who spends time on the water year-round and knows how to adjust trips based on conditions, seasons, and the fish that are biting.
You’ll fish aboard the Orion 29, a well-equipped center console built for comfort, safety, and serious offshore fishing, with quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, and required safety equipment for a reliable private charter experience.
Trips depart from O’Neill’s Marina in south St. Petersburg, making Reel Coquina a convenient option for anglers staying in St. Pete Beach, Johns Pass, Madeira Beach, Clearwater, Tampa Bay, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Tarpon Springs, and Bradenton. Learn more about our captain and charter experience.

4 Hour Offshore Trips
A great fit for anglers who want to get on the water, stay a little closer in, and target productive Gulf species without committing to a full day. This is a strong option for mixed groups, first-timers, and anyone looking for solid action in less time.

6 Hour & 8 Hour Fishing Charters
If you want more time to cover ground, fish deeper structure, and target a wider mix of offshore species, these longer trips are the better choice. They are ideal for anglers who want a more serious offshore day and a better shot at bigger fish.

Vertical Jigging Trips
Built for anglers who want a more active and hands-on offshore trip, vertical jigging is a great way to target aggressive fish holding deeper in the water column. This is the trip for fishermen who want more than just soaking bait.

Red Snapper Season Trips
When red snapper season opens, these trips are one of the top offshore opportunities on the Gulf. If you are booking around the season and want to make the most of a limited window, this is the trip to plan early.

Why Our St. Petersburg Location Matters
Reel Coquina Fishing departs from O’Neill’s Marina in south St. Petersburg, giving anglers quick access to productive fishing grounds across Tampa Bay and the Gulf. Depending on your trip, we may fish near Fort De Soto, around Egmont Key, or run farther offshore toward deeper Gulf structure.
Our location also makes us a convenient choice for anglers staying in St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Clearwater, and nearby Gulf Coast areas. That means less time figuring out logistics and more time focused on fishing.
