What To Expect Fishing The Gulf Out Of Tarpon Springs
The Gulf of America off Tarpon Springs is some of the most productive offshore water in Florida. Within 40 miles, you're on structure that holds red snapper, vermillion snapper, mangrove snapper, and gag grouper year-round. Go further and the water opens up for wahoo, mahi-mahi, amberjack, and the kind of tuna that make the ride home feel worth every minute.
Tarpon Springs sits in the northern corner of Pinellas County, giving you a head start on the best offshore grounds in the Gulf without the long drives to the Keys or the Panhandle. From Turtle Cove Marina, you're in the water and moving before most captains have finished their coffee.
The HCB Siesta's quad 350 Yamahas cruise at 40 knots — that means more time on the fish and less time burning daylight on the run.
Meet Your Captain
Captain Josh Keller
Captain Josh Keller built Reel Nauti around one idea: put clients on fish, on a boat that can handle the Gulf, with a crew that takes care of everything else. He runs the 42-foot HCB Siesta hard and knows these waters well.
Full USCG Master Captain credentials. Federally and state permitted. The details matter — and he's got them all handled.
The Reel Nauti — 2019 HCB Siesta, 42 ft.
Quad Yamaha 350 outboards. 40-knot cruise, 52-knot top speed. Stadium seating with forward-facing chairs and optional bean bags. Coast Guard documented and fully equipped for offshore work in the Gulf.
Built for offshore. Comfortable on the run out and fast on the way back. If you've never fished a boat like this, you'll notice the difference the moment you step aboard.
Dock to Table at The Bearded Turtle
Right next to the dock at Turtle Cove Marina sits The Bearded Turtle — an outdoor waterfront restaurant with a full bar.
Bring your fresh catch straight off the boat and they’ll cook it up for you: $20 per person, includes 2 sides. It’s the perfect way to end a day on the Gulf of America.
