I'm looking for a party boat type of Deep Sea fishing charter for 6 guys in my family.

I have some uncles that are pretty broke, so I may have to fund most of the trip. We haven't taken a charter together in about 20 years. Can anyone recommend a good charter boat? So far, the best deal I've found is about 50-60 bucks a person. Here are a couple examples:




I'm looking from somewhere between Crystal River area to St. Pete area. If I had the funds, I'd love to take them on a private type boat for just us 6 but since I don't we will have to do the large party boat thing.


Any suggestions?

 

the apollo in crystal river is great. and have been around for dacades. great people too.

 

For that many people, I'd consider a privte charter and maybe find 2-3 more people.
edit: Guess I should read the hole thing

 

Look at floridasportsman.com and go to the forums, West Central fishing report. There is a thread and pics of the Hubbards boat out of John's Pass.

 

Thanks, I will check it out.

 

Only thing about Hubbards is they have a restraunt and another boat that fishes the good holes to support that. Not sure what your budget is, but there are several independent guys at various docks that advertise very little and are "reasonable". If you've ever chartered a private boat you would never go on a commercial charter again.
I took my son and a buddy on an inshore charter last summer and it was 350.00 for 8hrs and slayed snook, reds, flounder and a few grouper all day! Best money Ive ever spent.
