FISHING CHARTERS

Take the plunge into the world of fishing by choosing us as your charter of choice. Our four charter captains will bring you on an adventure of a lifetime. Bring your family, friends, coworkers, or anyone else with you and enjoy a day filled with sun, sea, and of course, fish. Powered by our two luxury charter yachts — the Lovely Melissa and the Världens Beskyddare — you and your gang will fish in opulence. All charter launches are weather permitting and are available in 4-hour, 8-hour, and whole-day (12-hour) excursions. The clear waters of Tampa Bay are calling your name, so book a launch and fish on!

Charter Yachts

• Lovely Melissa

Named after Melissa Shaw, one of our founders and owners, the Lovely Melissa is a 2004 Hatteras 60 Charter Convertible. The vessel is 60 feet long, more than enough to comfortably accomodate a maximum of 20 passengers. With two 1,550 horsepower engines, it has the power to propel the boat at a constant 30 knots — enough to quickly travel to new spots. We overhauled the vessel in 2021 to include a wine cooler, two sub-zero refrigerators to store your catches, a combination Samsung stovetop and microwave within the kitchennete area, whole-cabin surround LED light strips, and three brand-new 55-inch Samsung Smart TVs.

• Världens Beskyddare

This sleek, modern, and roomy yacht is our latest addition to the AFL charter family. Hailing from Sweden, the Världens Beskyddare — a 2020 Princess Y78 — translates to Protector of the World. Indeed, she will protect all of our guests with her triple-reinforced steel hull and advanced safety technology. We use this vessel exclusively for our whole-day excursions, and can accomodate 25 people. Amenities include 15 220/240V power ports throughout the cabin, a full galley complete with an icemaker, dishwasher, and deep-freeze refrigerator, a deck saloon with leather sofas and a wood-appointed coffee table, three 65-inch LG Smart TVs and three 55-inch Samsung Smart TVs, elegant deck- and cabin-lighting, and a full-array of underwater LED lights, perfect for night fishing.

Packages & Prices

What To Expect & Liability Waiver

On launch day, please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time. Our booking staff will check you in at our marina slip. If you have not already completed waivers for each party member, we will have you sign at the slip. Your charter captain will provide a pre-trip briefing before the party is allowed on the boat. Deck hands will be available to assist you in bringing your belongings (fishing equipment, food, drinks, bags, etc.) onboard. Once on the boat, your captain will provide a safety presentation about the safety precautions and procedures onboard our yachts. Depending on marina and surrounding waterway traffic, departure times may vary from scheduled booking time. Note that time-keeping begins when the boat exits our slip.
