What Our Clients Say
My family has went out with William Wise Badfish charters for several years and everytime is better than the last and everytime is great best charter Captain in Tampa Bay
Richard D.
Great time! My ten year old son came away feeling like a fishing pro thanks to the badfish team. Such a pleasure when the captain is just as motivated as you to get on the fish and catch them. Will definitely be back again.
Tarik F.
By far the best charter experience I have had in the Tampa bay area. Captain William and his son Jake were very fun to be around and knowledgeable about fishing! Badfish Charters will be my go-to from now on!
