What a deep sea trip costs in Apollo Beach

The rates Apollo Beach charters publish on their own websites, by trip length. These are the price of the whole boat, and a range across many boats rather than any one boat's rate. Read on 2026-10-01. Confirm with the captain when you call.

  • Three-quarter day (6-7 hours)$550 – $900 8 charters publish a rate · middle of the range $725

What a trip costs moves with fuel prices, the size of the boat and how far out it runs, and a quiet Tuesday is not a holiday weekend. Nothing here is a booking; we take no fee and hold no rates.
