We're Professional!

Our owner, award winning U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain James Goodwin grew up on Tampa Bay. For him, every single one of the flats and reefs of Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg Bay, Tarpon Springs and Clearwater are as familiar as his own home. He knows where the fish are and he knows when to find them. Snook in July, August and September. Redfish in March and April. Tarpon and permit fish in May and June. Trout in January and February. Day or night, he’ll head straight to the best spot, near shore or off-shore.

Plain and simple—we love to fish! Always have, always will. We do it every day. We even do it on our days off. So a great day for you is a great day for us. The adventure begins the moment you climb aboard one of our three impeccable boats: a 17' Maverick HPX Tunnel for fly fishing, a 23-foot Dorado for near shore/offshore fishing, and the 2202 Century Bay Boat for inshore fishing. Expect tackle, licenses and a fully-stocked ice chest. We accommodate any level of experience, from beginners to experienced anglers. We’ll take you out for a few hours, a full day, or a week of ultimate fishing. When we return, we’ll clean and bag your catch.

So whether you're looking for an ultimate fishing adventure, or you simply want to relax with family or friends, Triple 7 is standing by, year-round, to provide you with the very best charter fishing service in the Tampa Bay area.
