Bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate days, charity tournaments and family celebrations on Tampa Bay
Aquatic Escapes runs private events on the water across Tampa Bay, St. Pete, Clearwater, Bradenton, Sarasota and Crystal River. Group size is not a limit. Six guests per boat, and we run as many boats as your group needs, with captains Captain Jarrod has fished alongside for years, all licensed and insured, so your whole group goes out together on the same day.
Fishing, sandbars, island hopping, sunset cruises or a tournament. Tell us what kind of day you want and we will build it. Call or text 656.242.7172.

- How It Works
Bachelor Parties in Tampa Bay
A day on the water beats a crowded bar, and everybody remembers it the next morning.
- Fish the morning, pull up to a sandbar in the afternoon, or do both in one trip.
- Beer and wine coolers are welcome on board. No hard liquor, no red wine, and no glass bottles of any kind.
- Bigger group? Captain Jarrod adds boats and captains, so the whole party stays together on the water.
- Photos come back to you after the trip, which is usually the part the groom hears about for years.
Trips that fit: Island hopping and sandbar days, inshore fishing, or a mix.
Bachelorette Parties in Tampa Bay
Sandbars, floating mats, music and a captain who handles everything while you enjoy the day.
- Anchor at a sandbar in shallow, warm water, with floats, tubes and swimming.
- Sunset cruises for the evening, with downtown Tampa or the Gulf as the backdrop.
- We bring the cooler space and the ice. You bring food, drinks and the playlist, cans only.
- Plenty of room for photos, and we take them for you all day.
Trips that fit: Island hopping, sandbar days and sunset cruises.
Corporate Events and Team Days in Tampa Bay
A company day on the water, for a handful of people or for the whole office across several boats.
- Six guests per boat, and we run as many boats as your group needs, with captains Captain Jarrod has fished alongside for years, every one of them licensed and insured.
- Everybody leaves the dock at the same time and fishes the same waters, so it works as one event rather than several separate trips.
- Good for client entertaining, sales incentives, team building and out of town visitors during a conference.
- Invoicing and a single point of contact, so one person books it and nobody chases receipts.
Trips that fit: Inshore fishing, nearshore fishing, island hopping, or a fishing and sandbar combination.
Charity Fishing Tournaments in Tampa Bay
Captain Jarrod can host or help run a charity tournament, from a small private event to a multi boat day.
- He has fished and worked tournaments in Tampa Bay for years and knows what makes them run: captains, boats, rules, weigh in and timing.
- Boats for your participants, captained by people who fish these waters every week.
- Sponsors, prizes and format handled with you, so the day raises money instead of creating work.
- Company tournaments, memorial tournaments and fundraisers for local causes are all welcome.
Trips that fit: Custom, built around your format and number of boats.
Birthdays, Reunions and Family Days in Tampa Bay
Birthdays, family reunions, graduations, a day with grandkids, or a quiet trip to scatter ashes for someone who loved the water.
- Kids are welcome, and Captain Jarrod will teach anyone who has never held a rod.
- Several boats can run together for a big family, so nobody gets left at the dock.
- Half day, full day, sunrise or sunset, whatever suits the group.
- Memorial trips are handled quietly and respectfully. Just tell us what you need.
Trips that fit: Inshore fishing, island hopping, sunset cruises and scalloping in season.

Group and Event Questions
How many people can you take?
Six guests per boat, and we run as many boats as your group needs. Captain Jarrod works with captains he trusts, all licensed and insured, so a party of 12, 20 or 40 fishes or cruises together on the same day.
Can we drink on the boat?
Beer and wine coolers are fine. No hard liquor and no red wine, and no glass bottles or glass containers of any kind. Anyone who has had too much ends the day early, which is the rule on every licensed charter.
Do you do bachelor and bachelorette parties?
Yes, they are some of our favorite trips. Most groups fish in the morning and hit a sandbar in the afternoon, or skip the fishing and make a day of the sandbar and a sunset cruise.
Can you run a charity fishing tournament?
Yes. Captain Jarrod can host a tournament or supply boats and captains for yours, and can help with the format, the rules and the weigh in. Tell us the cause and the date and we will build it with you.
What does a group trip cost?
Per boat trips are priced on the Rates page. Larger events are quoted for your group, your date and the number of boats, and you get the number in writing before anything is booked.
What is included?
Captain, boat, fuel, rods, reels, tackle, live and frozen bait, ice, your Florida fishing license and fish cleaning. You bring food, drinks in cans, sunscreen, hats and cash for the gratuity, which is customarily 20 to 30 percent.
