This was by far the best fishing charter I have been on. Captain Zack took us right to the fish and made everything as simple as possible. He was very knowledgeable and easygoing. He was also great with helping my 8 y/o nephew learn more about fishing. My only regret would be not booking a longer trip. I would highly recommend Captain Zack and I'll definitely be going back when I come down to Florida again.

  Captain Zac gave us the very best experience we could have asked for. From first communication when we made our reservation to the end of our fishing day, he was equally professional, kind, and fun. I loved he fact that he kept in communication with us before our fishing day and even made a change in the schedule due to the bad weather expected on our originally scheduled day. This was a family trip, and he made sure that our boys (10 and 7) thoroughly enjoyed themselves. He gave them fun facts about the Florida wildlife, and we even got to see dolphins, bonnet head shark, stingrays, and much more which made it fun for all of us! To finish off our perfect half day of fishing, he gave us recommendations for local places to eat and visit, and they ended up being our other favorite parts of our trip. Oh, and of course the fishing was great!! We will come back every chance we can to St Pete and schedule a day of fishing with Captain Zac.

  I brought my son (14) and nephew (13) down to St Pete’s Beach for my son’s birthday. We booked a 4-hour fishing excursion for the afternoon and it was the highlight of our trip. The boys had a great time catching fish and cracking jokes all day. Zack really made them feel comfortable and allowed them to take part in hooking the bait and netting the fish. They exchanged stories about the differences between ice fishing and ocean fishing and had a ton of questions that Zack answered about the area and all things fish. He sure knows his stuff! I cannot remember another time I got 2 teenagers to put their phones down for 4 consecutive hours.In the words of the kids, ‘We wouldn’t have had as much fun if we didn’t have such a great Captain’. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks again Zack! You made their Florida trip one to remember. -Ashley, Jacob, Maverick

  Captain Zack was amazing! Very knowledgeable and was a great guide and teacher to a couple of novice salt water fishermen. Zack was great with my 12 year old son teaching him and encouraging him along the way. We caught a bunch of Snook up to 25 inches and saw dolphins, stingrays, and Manatee along the way. I would highly recommend! The four hour trip flew by with great fishing and conversation. Thank you Zack for giving my son the fever to continue fishing!

  Great day of fishing with Zach! Zach is extremely knowledgeable and the boat and equipment are great. Zach was well prepared with plenty of bait and we were on fish as soon as we got out to the spot. Caught a bunch of snook and a nice trout. Zach tried to close out the slam with a redfish but they were elusive that day. Maybe next time... would definitely fish with Zach again when in the area.

  Captain Zack provided our family of four an unforgettable day! He was there waiting with his fantastic boat when we arrived and we were off within 5 minutes. He knew exactly where to find the fish and we had one in the boat almost immediately. He was outstanding with our boys (12 and 9) helping them fish, letting them help, teaching them about the fish we were catching and answering their questions along the way. It was a wonderful experience and he has our highest recommendation!!

  Captain Zach gave us an amazing and unforgettable experience. My husband really wanted to fish as he has a bit of experience. I have never fished before. My expectation was to enjoy being on a boat out on the water and not even attempt to fish. Zach quickly changed my mind. He knew so much about the fish we were looking for and where to go, with confidence that we would find them. I immediately opened up and had to try it. He made it seem so exciting, like we couldn’t fail. And we didn’t! I never fished before but I caught 4 fish on my first time! My husband and I had an absolute blast. My first experience fishing was so perfect that I may even consider fishing again. Thanks for everything Zach!

  My husband, Mike, and I had incredible day of fishing with captain Zack! We caught a variety of fish including some feisty snook! His boat is beautiful and he went out of is way to make the day so much fun! Definitely the highlight of our St. Pete vacation! Can’t wait to book our next trip! See you next spring, Captain!

  Fantastic morning of fishing. Would highly recommend White Pearl Fishing Charters to anyone in or visiting the St. Pete area. Captain Zack was extremely knowledgable and accommodating. We could not have asked for a better guide as he put us on fish immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Sight fishing for tripletail on a calm day in the Gulf is an experience we won't forget. Can't wait to come back and book another trip with White Pearl Fishing Charters!

  We had a beautiful day fishing with Zack last week. He puts in the effort to get you on fish. The boat is fantastic. Hope to fish with him again.
