We had so much fun on the manatee tour with captain Scott. The boat ride on its own was great, but Scott went to great lengths to find manatees for us and succeeded. And to top it off we had dolphins swimming in our wake on the way back to the marina. We definitely recommend the manatee tour with captain Scott.

Highly recommend these guys! We had a great time out on the water and the guides were really fun. We caught a lot of fish, enough to feed 11 people afterwards! Thanks Matt!

I cannot recommend Yatchfish St. Petersburg enough! Captain Sam was fantastic - he made sure we had a memorable fishing experience by guaranteeing us fish, and he did not disappoint on a crisp February morning. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and Captain Sam's knowledge of the local waters was impressive. We had an incredible time hooking hogfish, grouper and snapper. We absolutely had a blast out on the water. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing charter in St. Petersburg, look no further than Yatchfish. Five stars all the way!

Nice guides. But for the money we spent for 4 hrs it was a bust. $650 for 2 small sharks. What a waste of money.

This was a trip of a lifetime!! Captain Scott and first Mate Austin made this trip so much fun. They are very knowledgeable and will put you on the fish!!! Everything ran just like clockwork. Boats are immaculate and you can tell they take pride with their equipment and GREAT work ethic. Hit them up, you won't be disappointed.

My family and I went out with Yachtfish this past weekend with Capt. Nick, and I can honestly say the trip was perfect from start to finish. Great boat, equipment, and weather. We caught red drum, speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, jacks, and a ton of snook. Capt. Nick was very patient with my young son (fascinated by all of the greenbacks and pinfish in the livewell), and made sure this first trip was special for him. We will be going again!
