WHAT KIND OF PRIVATE FISHING EVENTS CAN YOU PLAN?
MAKE YOUR NEXT GROUP OUTING SOMETHING SPECIAL
Corporate fishing charters are a great way to show appreciation for the people who help your business succeed. Treat your employees to a well-deserved day away from work, celebrate a team accomplishment, or invite your clients out for an experience that’s a little more personal than another business lunch. Tampa Bay provides a beautiful setting for getting everyone together.
Private fishing trips are also a fun option for birthdays, family celebrations, and groups of friends looking for something different. Captain Frankie welcomes guests of all fishing experience levels and can help beginners get comfortable while experienced anglers enjoy the challenge of catching local game fish.
Every outing is shaped by the people aboard and the conditions on the water. Some groups love the friendly competition of seeing who catches the biggest fish, while others are happy to enjoy the ride and spend time together. Whatever brings your crew aboard, the goal is to have a great day fishing Tampa Bay!
ACCEPTED PAYMENT OPTIONS
CANCELLATION POLICY
Our preparation for your trip begins several days prior and includes rigging tackle, fueling, and netting bait, which is why we ask for at least 7 days cancellation notice. A cancellation fee of 50% cost of the trip will be charged if not cancelled within 7 days of the charter. Forfeit of the $100 deposit will occur if the trip is not cancelled within 30 days.
If for some reason the Captain must cancel or there is inclement weather, we will work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund of deposit.

From Our Clients
Great day fishing. Frankie was a great captain. He took us to multiple spots and we caught lots of fish! Lots of snook, trout, catfish, ladyfish and yellow jack. He took the time to teach and help me and my kids with everything. Highly recommend for any fishing trip.-Andrea
I just spent a week in Florida with my son and two friends and we booked with Capt. Frankie for four days, and what a great time we had. Frankie put us on fish every day and went above and beyond our expectations. We endured wind and rain and it didn’t bother him a bit. We just moved around the bay to find new spots out of the weather. He works hard every day catching fresh bait and he isn’t afraid to run around and burn gas to put you on fish. If you’re looking for a good guy to fish with that’s laid back and easy to get along with, Frankie is your guy.-Josh
We went out on a full-day, in-shore trip and had an absolute blast! We caught a good variety of fish including snapper, mackerel, grouper, snook and tarpon and were able to bring home plenty for dinner. Frankie was an awesome captain and made sure we got the most out of our time. We also appreciated his enthusiasm and excitement every time we caught a fish. We will definitely be booking with Barefoot again!-Madeline
Capt. Frank is top notch. His communication before the trip was amazing. His knowledge of the area was also amazing. It felt like just three guys fishing. He was one of the guys with the go to spots. Highly recommend and worth every dime.-Kevin
