My son and I had a blast fishing with Swift Fish Charters! Captain Danny had everything setup and ready to go as soon as we hit the dock! We caught fish nonstop. Mackerel,Trout, Snook all day long! Hooked up with my personal best Snook! Most fun we have had on a fishing charter, we will definitely be booking again!

We went on a fishing trip with Tim today for my husband’s birthday. This was our second trip with his company and as always an amazing time! We caught so many fish- and my daughter caught a shark! We saw dolphins swimming nearby and brought home trout and mackerel to grill for later! All in all an amazing day and we are already planning our next trip!

I moved to Tampa close to 7 years ago. Very early on I discovered Swift Fish Charters and was overjoyed to find Capt. Tim. He has guided me several trips always guaranteeing a good catch (I don't know how he does it). Many of my out-of-town or out-of-country visitors have enjoyed Capt. Tim's charter's and swear they want to go back. On a recent trip we were four people representing six nationalities (yers, it's possible :-) ). Two of us were re-peat clients including myself. My friend Marcus jumps at any chance to get on-board with Capt. Tim. Again, the day was exciting and the catch we caught were couple of sharks, and nearly brought up a cobia, to mention only a few. The dinner that evening was fresh trout! And, to top the story: One of the people fishing with us was fishing for the first time in his life and he caught the his first fish (and the boat's first one, too) on his very first cast! How can you beat that feeling!! With Capt. Tim's guidance and expertise, I will never hesitate to make a recommendation for his services.

Great trip with Capt Tim! Very knowledgeable and a great teacher. He put us on a bunch of snook and everyone also learned a lot throughout the day. We are already planning our next trip.

Captain Tim is awesome with both adults and kids. Knows where to find the fish and always prepared for whatever is needed that day. Have worked with him a few times already, and will continue to call him whenever want to be out on the water.

I highly recommend Swift Fish Charters of Tampa Bay! Captain Tim was determined to give us the best fishing experience possible in which he succeeded. He is very knowledgeable and easy going which made the trip so much more fun! He always made sure there was a pole on standby in case something happens to the one you have and he doesn’t mind baiting the hook for you. He knew where all the fish were and how to catch them. We caught a variety of fish including Snook, Reds, lady fish, trout, catfish and Spanish mackerel. We caught too many to keep track! Swift Fish charters is the way to go if you’re looking for a laid back unforgettable Florida experience.

Captain Tim Whitfield is absolutely incredible! Tim participated with us as a guide for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Boca Grande Classic and I was lucky enough to join him on the boat where he taught me how to fish, and hook the bait as well. I had the best time ever and now thanks to Tim I have a new hobby :)

Captain Tim hosted four of us and we forgot to eat or hydrate because we were catching so many snook. My daughter in law had never caught a snook before but Captain Tim coached her up fast enough to catch more than I did. Already planning our next trip, so don't book him all up! Thanks Tim.

I’ve been fishing with Capt. Tim for 20+ years and have enjoyed every charter trip with him. He’s great about getting you on snooks, reds, trout, or whatever is biting. Always a fun and relaxing time with him!

Whether you want big fish or a a lot of fish for your trip Tim can do it. Knowledgeable, down to earth, good person and guide. I’ve been fishing with him for years and will continue to do so. If you’re looking at a guided tour in Tampa make sure you use Tim

I have fished with Captain Whitfield for years and every time we go out we do amazing. He has set most of my personal records for snook, redfish, trout, cobia you name it he can catch it. Captain Whitfield has so much experience on the water and never fails to get you on fish!

Took my son on a fishing charter and we all had an amazing time! Caught too many fish to count, my 3 year old thought it was the coolest thing. Thanks for a great day Tim, you're incredible with kids. Really makes a difference when thinking about coming out again. Super appreciate your kindness, we will be back.

My son and I were visiting from NC and were looking for a half day inshore fishing charter when we came across SWIFT FISH CHARTERS, and I am glad we did. Captain Tim is a great guide and very easy going. He made sure the lines were never out of the water. He worked his tail off to make sure we were baited up and fishing the whole charter. His knowledge of where to go was second to none.. We absolutely slayed them!! He put us on the Red's and we caught over 20 and also caught about 6 trout and a Crevalle Jack which was pretty cool. I would highly recommend SWIFT FISH CHARTERS and Captain Tim.. It was an awesome experience with my son and I owe that to Captain Tim!!
