Meet Captain Adam Homan

Meet Captain Adam Homan: Your Expert Guide in St. Petersburg, FL

Captain Adam Homan’s journey in fishing began in the lakes and rivers of northeast Indiana, where he spent his childhood hunting and fishing for sustenance on his family’s farm. Raised alongside his twin brother, Aaron, fishing became a way of life for Adam, fueling a lifelong passion that eventually led him to Florida in 1999. In St. Petersburg, he wasted no time diving into the local fishing scene, even prioritizing the purchase of a boat before settling into a permanent home. His commitment to the sport was clear—his love for angling ran deep, and it was this passion that would guide his path in the years to come.


After relocating to Florida, Adam quickly transitioned to saltwater fishing, a challenge he embraced with enthusiasm. He dedicated countless hours on the waters of Tampa Bay, studying the local fish species and refining his fishing techniques to suit the unique conditions of the Gulf. Weekends were spent navigating the bay, fine-tuning his skills and establishing himself as a skilled angler and captain. Today, Captain Adam is known for his dedication to providing both beginners and seasoned anglers with a memorable fishing experience. His ultimate goal is to help others experience the thrill of catching their first saltwater fish, sharing his expertise with anglers of all ages.


In 2012, Adam solidified his passion by earning his U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s license after completing rigorous training at a recognized Nautical School. His professional credentials extend beyond this, with certifications in CPR, towing, and federal reef permits—critical elements for safe and successful offshore charters. Captain Adam’s commitment to safety ensures that every trip is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism. He believes in providing an exceptional fishing experience that is not only memorable but also accessible. For him, success is measured by more than the catch; it’s about the camaraderie and joy that comes from sharing the day on the water with friends and family.
