Personalized Fishing Charters & Scenic Boat Excursions in Tampa Bay

At Five O’Clock Charlie Boat Tours & Charters, Inc., we specialize in creating unforgettable fishing and boating experiences in the beautiful Tampa Bay area. Most of our charters journey to the breathtaking Egmont Key, often called the Crown Jewel of Tampa Bay. With its pristine waters, rich wildlife, and world-class fishery, Egmont Key offers the perfect backdrop for an outdoor adventure.

On every trip, you’ll have the chance to see Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, manatees, rays, and even sharks—making your excursion just as exciting for sightseeing as it is for fishing.

A Decade of Experience, Thousands of Memories

For more than 10 years, we’ve guided thousands of clients to their favorite fishing memories. Many have caught their very first fish with us, while others reeled in milestone catches like their first shark, permit, flounder, grouper, cobia, snapper, or king mackerel. Whatever your goal, we’re here to make it memorable.

Safety First, Always

Fishing charters can be a highlight of any Tampa Bay vacation, but they’re also an investment. We make sure yours is both safe and worthwhile. If Gulf conditions are less than ideal—such as small craft advisories or winds over 15 mph—we don’t go out. Your safety is always our top priority.

We offer a wide variety of fishing trips and scenic boat excursions, tailored to your group’s interests. Living right on the water, we’re out on Tampa Bay every day and know these waters better than most.
