Downtown Tampa Charters is one of the most conveniently-located boats you’ll find. Just a stone’s throw away from the center of Tampa, you’ll be exploring the skinny waters of the bays, bayous, and rivers around Downtown Tampa. Captain Max Rowe is a true local and has been sport fishing for 20 years in the downtown tampa area. After 5 years of guiding, Capt. Max has it down to an art.

This spacious 24’ center console can take up to 6 guests, and is powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine.
Outfitted with twin power poles and a rhodan trolling motor, you’ll be able to swiftly approach the fish. Live bait is most often used.
Catch some fish, see the city, and make memories!

Popular fish that Capt. Max helps you target include Cobia, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Snook, and the “Silver King” – Tarpon. With top of the range Penn and Florida Fishing Products gear to work with, as well as fresh-caught live bait, you have a great chance of catching, not fishing. Capt. Max or his first mate will happily clean the fish at the dock while you relax and reflect of the day of fishing.

With shorter and extended trips, Downtown Tampa Charters has something for everyone! Bring your own beer and fish with your pals, or come with the kids and learn the art of fishing. All within sight of the city. If you’re in Tampa, you’re only minutes away from Downtown Tampa Charters.

I grew up on the water in Tampa Bay and fishing has been my passion since I was 12 years old. I love catching big fish - lots of big fish. Also the mystery of what big sea creature you'll find out there; sharks, dolphins, manatees, and even alligators are regularly spotted while fishing. The biodiversity and the crazy fish you catch and see keeps me coming back. After developing a love for fishing, and earning the nickname "Captain,"- through middle and highschool, I took a scholarship to USF to play college baseball. Then I pursued being a drummer in a rock band, now I'm a licensed captain and have been for 7 years. Fishing is my true passion and is now just about the only thing I do. It is my passion, career, hobby, and therapy. I get along with everyone and welcome all skill levels. I love the science behind catching fish and love to educate. I hope to pass on my passion to all of my customers.
