Dunedin Boat Charters for Every Adventure
Set Sail, Cast a Line, Chase the Dolphins
Dunedin is one of Florida’s few Gulf Coast towns where the marina sits right at the foot of Main Street. Step off the sidewalk and onto the water. Whether you want dolphins leaping off the bow of a 47-foot cruiser, a quiet sunset sail, or deep-sea grouper from a twin-diesel offshore rig, experienced local captains are docked and ready.

Captain Jeff
USCG 100-TON MASTER
Over 50 years in these local waters. Serious ParrotHead. Known for fascinating facts, weird trivia, and a killer run punch.
ParrotDise Express Boat Tours
The biggest wake on the water means the best dolphin show — and Captain Jeff has been running it for decades.
THE BOAT
The 47-foot ParrotDise Express is the largest tour vessel departing Dunedin Marina. Its 15.8-foot mono-hull beam throws a wake that local dolphin pods actively chase. Individually ticketed trips make it the most accessible option on the water, with complimentary unlimited beverages on every departure.
THE CAPTAIN
Captain Jeff is a USCG 100-ton Master, lifelong ParrotHead, and walking encyclopedia of these waters — with over 50 years of local knowledge. He brings the rum punch and the weird trivia in equal measure.
Visit the ParrotDise Express website to discover snorkeling adventures, shelling excursions, sunset cruises, and limited-time specialty tours.

Captain Mike
USCG Master
15 Yrs Charters
Florida native, lifelong Gulf fisherman, 12 yrs of full-time charters. Philosophy: find the right trip for each client, not the other way around.
By Request Charters
Captain Mike gets you to the deep-water honey holes faster than the rest of the fleet— and keeps you there longer.
THE BOAT
Chuckwagon is a 34-foot OceanMaster with twin Cummins diesels, a full-length hardtop for shade bow to stern, and a cruising speed of 30nmph. Half-day to overnight trips available. Bring your own food and drinks.
THE CAPTAIN
A Florida native with 15 years on these waters, Captain Mike Skinner brings a “do it right” philosophy to every trip — 12 of them running full-time charters. He finds the right trip for each client, not the other way around.
The hardtop runs the full length of the boat. You can fish all day in the Gulf without the Florida sun ending your trip early. Book a longer charter than you think you need.

Captain Tim “Slammer”
USCG Master
Keeper of seven decades of local fishing heritage. Knows when to move and how to keep coolers full. Equally at home with first-timers and serious anglers.
Daisy Mae Fishing Charters
Dunedin’s oldest charter. Since 1951, this crew has known where the grouper are — and they clean your catch before you leave the dock.
THE BOAT
The Daisy Mae fleet runs vessels purpose-built for Gulf stability, with private bathrooms, shaded seating, and professional-grade tackle. All bait, gear, licenses, and fish cleaning included. Trips run 4 to 12 hours for up to 6 guests.
THE CAPTAIN
The Daisy Mae captains carry seven decades of local fishing knowledge. Captain Tim is known for moving when fish aren’t biting and keeping coolers full • equally comfortable with first-timers and serious anglers.
Bring your cleaned fillets to Olde Bay Café or Hog Island Fish Camp. Both will cook your catch! The best meal in Dunedin and it starts with what you pulled up yourself.
Ready to Get on the Water?
All operators depart from Dunedin Marina, right at the end of Main Street. Stop by the Visitor Center on Main for maps and local advice, or head straight to the dock.
