How a group trip works
One point of contact for the whole day. You give Tanner the headcount; he handles the boats, captains and timing.
Tell us the headcount and dates
Call, text or send the form below with how many people, the dates that work and what kind of day you want. Tanner replies the same day with boat count and a per-boat price.
Tanner sets the boats
His three boats plus partner captains he fishes with every week. Four anglers per boat inshore, six on a scalloping boat, three on the mud boat.
Everyone leaves together
One dock, one start time, boats working the same water. Groups can split by skill: beginners on the skiffs, the serious anglers on the fly boat.
Back at the dock together
Fish cleaned and bagged, group photo at the cleaning table, and lunch if you want us to arrange it.
Which trip for your group
Four of the six trips run well with several boats. Tarpon and fly are one or two anglers per boat and better as a side trip for the two people who want them.
Inshore charter
The trip most groups book. Redfish, trout and snook on the flats; everyone catches fish. Four or seven hours.
Scalloping
July 1 to September 24. The easiest day for mixed groups: non-anglers, kids and clients who have never held a rod. Six per boat.
Mud boat trip
November to February. Small teams of three per boat in the winter backwater. The trip people talk about afterward.
Duck hunts
November to January. Two or three hunters per boat in the Chassahowitzka marsh. Hunters bring shotguns, shells and stamps.
Who books group trips
Company outings and client days
A half day on the water and lunch after beats a conference room. Everyone fishes, nobody needs experience, and the photos end up on the company Slack by noon.
Family reunions and multi-family trips
Scalloping in summer is the answer for a group of ten with a four-year-old and a grandfather in it. Shallow, warm water and a limit of scallops for the cookout.
Bachelor parties, birthdays and fishing clubs
Inshore in fall, mud boats in winter, tarpon for the two who care most. Tell us the occasion and the budget and we will build the day around it.
Group pricing is per boat
No group rate and no group markup. Each boat is the same price as a private trip, and the boats run together.
| Trip | Per boat | Boat limit |
|---|---|---|
| Inshore charter, 4 hours | $600 | Up to 4 anglers |
| Inshore charter, 7 hours | $700 | Up to 4 anglers |
| Scalloping, half day | From $600 | Up to 6 per boat |
| Mud boat trip, 4 to 6 hours | $500 / $600 | 1 or 2 anglers / 3 anglers |
| Duck hunt, morning | $500 / $750 | 2 hunters / 3 hunters |
Example
12 people, inshore, 4 hours

“The best trip I’ve ever had!”
Capt. Tanner was able to put me on my first snook and first tarpon. 100% recommend and will be booking him again very soon!!
