Meet Captain Adam Homan

You are likely to find Captain Adam’s fishing experience inspiring, but in reality he didn’t attain his knowledge and abilities overnight. Through a lifetime of hard work, he ambitiously sought to not only perfect but add on to the skills he currently possesses. Although he grew up with a rod in his hand, he knew he needed to exert more effort and focus to become a better angler. While his business is running offshore fishing charters, his passion is helping people of all ages catch their dream fish of a lifetime!

Raised a Hoosier on a homesteaders’ farm, Adam and his brothers went hunting and fishing in the lakes and rivers of their northeast Indiana home for more than just fun – it was the food for their family! Growing up, Adam’s mornings, evenings, weekends, and summers were spent on the water learning and then honing his fishing skills, which he then transferred to saltwater upon relocating to Florida in 1999 with his twin brother, Aaron.

Upon his move to St. Petersburg, Adam got his "priorities straight" – he bought a boat before buying a house! His passion for fishing led him to devote countless hours to studying; he educated himself on the patterns and habits of Gulf fish, on becoming familiar with reefs, wrecks, and the underwater terrain, and on learning saltwater fishing techniques. He and his twin brother basically lived on the water from Friday night until Sunday night every weekend. When asked who is the better fisherman, Adam will always defer to his brother, but when asked who is a better Captain, his brother states, "Well of course it's Adam! I'm too busy catching all the fish!!"

Turning his lifelong passion for fishing into a business in 2012, Adam took the intensive U.S. Coast Guard-sanctioned Nautical School course to obtain his Captain’s license. He passed all tests on the first try, then took additional classes for licensing in CPR, towing, and obtaining federal reef permits for offshore fishing charters. 

Captain Adam Homan desires to give an incredible and memorable St. Petersburg fishing charter experience to those who think they cannot afford a private charter. He loves the joy he can bring someone – child or adult – who reels in their first saltwater fish, big or small! Going the extra mile to see smiles on everyone’s faces, he strives to make people feel, whether customers or not, like they are a part of a family.
