The Standard for Excellence
Our History and Mission
Gulfstream Charters has been a staple in the Clearwater Beach fishing community for over 50 years. Our family-owned and operated business has been serving the area since 1974. Captain Max Foster, the founder of Gulfstream Charters, started his fishing career in Panama City, Florida in the early 1950s. He eventually moved to the Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Petersburg area in the early 1960s and founded Gulfstream Charters. With over 35 years of experience, our captains have a vast knowledge of the waters and a passion for providing an exceptional fishing experience for all of our customers.
