Guided Florida Trips

A Taste Of Real Florida With Capt. Dave

Captain Dave Markett invites you to come along and enjoy a day on the water along Florida’s most pristine coastlines, estuaries, fisheries, and backcountry areas. He offers amazing trips backed by decades of experience in Tampa Bay, Boca Grande, and West Central Florida.

Inshore Fishing

The Tampa Bay area is Capt. Dave’s home and he loves fishing here. Tarpon, redfish, snook, trout, and many more species of fish have been his targets for well over 4 decades.

Tarpon Fishing

Boca Grande, the “Tarpon Capital of the World”, holds a very special place in Capt. Dave’s heart. Tarpon fishing with him in Boca Grande is a real treat for anyone that gets a chance to do so.

Aligator Hunting

Capt. Dave has access to some of the best water for alligator hunting in all of Florida and can help you get that trophy ‘Gator of a lifetime. ‘Gators larger than 12′ have been harvested, 6-10’ are common.

Tampa Bay Is Home To The Inshore Slam

There are very few places in Florida that offer anglers more real shots at tucking an inshore slam under their belt like Tampa Bay. Redfish, Snook, and Seatrout are here in numbers and available most times of the year. You might even get a shot at a grand slam by adding a resident tarpon to your day’s species list. There is very little that can compare to a Tampa Bay fishing trip.
