Our Boat
Hop aboard Phat Kat
2024 32 ft World Cat with twin Mercury V10 350 engines. Fast, stable, and built for fishing and day trips on the Gulf.
A modern helm and navigation suite keeps offshore runs on course and your group comfortable from St. Pete to the Gulf grounds.
On Florida's Gulf coast, the good offshore fishing is 30 to 40 miles out, at reefs and wrecks holding snapper, grouper, kingfish, and cobia. It's a real run to get there, and that's the whole reason we run a 32 ft World Cat. Two hulls instead of one means the ride out is smooth instead of brutal. You get to the fish fast, and you actually enjoy the trip out.

Omg! I just went out last night on a dolphin sunset tour. What an amazing and incredible experience. Captain Cuda AKA Barrie, was very highly knowledgeable about the waters, we so many dolphins and it was so exciting seeing them right up behind the boat surfing! WOW!! I highly recommend Captain Cuda Charters when in Saint Pete/Tampa Bay Area.
Amazing fishing trip!!!! Captain Berry and Captain Toby couldn’t have been any more accommodating! Had a great day with wonderful people and hooking fish!
5 star for Cuda Charters, was great day TU Barri. appreciate all u did to make it memorable
Barry and Tobey were amazing ! Had a family day out on the water , we will definitely be back again
Excellent captain! We had a great time!
Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. This was a family day for us, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The boat was gorgeous, fully equipped, and spotless — with coolers already filled with ice so we could jump right in and enjoy our time together. Captain Barrie was outstanding — professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. He made everyone feel comfortable, took us on an unforgettable dolphin tour, and truly went above and beyond to make the day special. It was even better than we could have expected. One of the best days we’ve had on the water — we can’t wait to book again!
I went fishing on Charters Tampa Bay with Captain Barry and it was a great day. Went to target Red Snapper and he put us on them right away. Everyone on the boat limited red snapper and the boat limited African Pompano, others caught Scamp Grouper and Mangrove Snapper too. We caught some huge gag grouper and red grouper, but the season was closed for them. This was my first time on a Cat boat and the ride was smooth. I highly recommend this charter.
