Weeki Wachee Fish Company in Hernando Beach

Weeki Wachee Fish Company is Captain Larry's Nature Coast guide service. Larry describes himself as the owner and solo guide. His trips explore the flats and backcountry near Bayport and Hernando Beach, with a choice of two fishing boats.

Contact and booking details

Larry's fishing focus

The captain's introduction centers on local experience around the Weeki Wachee coast. Light tackle is the main advertised approach. Redfish, snook and spotted seatrout feature in the fishing descriptions, with the day shaped around the guests' experience and goals.

Family trips are welcomed alongside outings for anglers pursuing a particular target. The operator asks parents to give the children's ages so correctly sized life jackets can be prepared. Explain any boarding or seating needs before choosing the boat, rather than assuming the larger vessel automatically solves every comfort concern.

G3 or Dek Kat fishing packages

The smaller option is an 18-foot G3 skiff. Its displayed four-hour price is $450, and the six-hour listing is $650. The larger 27-foot Dek Kat is shown at $600 for four hours and $750 for six. Both boat menus give a group size of one to four guests.

The FAQ instead describes a full day as eight hours. That conflicts with the six-hour boat-price displays. Ask Larry to record the exact duration and total price for the chosen vessel. The reviewed pages do not clearly establish a restroom specification or every onboard seating arrangement.

What Larry supplies and what to pack

Fishing gear, bait and license coverage are advertised as included. The fishing menu also lists ice, cold water and complimentary fish cleaning. Discuss whether the day's legal catch will be kept or released, since a target's presence on the website does not establish an open harvest season.

Guests are advised to bring snacks, sunglasses and non-spray sunscreen. The packing guidance excludes glass bottles and hard liquor. Confirm personal drink storage and any extra cooler before arrival, particularly if the group wants to carry cleaned fish home after the outing.

A separate seasonal scallop outing

The company also offers guided scalloping over Gulf seagrass. Its scallop page lists masks, snorkels, fins, collection bags and license coverage. That activity involves entering the water, so discuss swimming confidence, children's ages and the equipment fit with Larry before reserving it.

Scallop availability and lawful dates vary by area and year. Obtain the actual trip date, duration, group limit and current price from the operator. The website's broad summer description should not be used as permission to collect scallops on a particular day or outside the authorized area.

Bayport pickup and weather changes

The captain's FAQ gives Bayport, typically 4140 Cortez Boulevard, as the launch. Ask for the exact arrival time and current parking instructions. Call 352-397-8056 or use weekiwacheefishcompany@gmail.com to arrange the vessel, party size and fishing plan.

Larry's weather policy offers rescheduling when conditions are unsafe. If rescheduling does not suit the group, the stated alternative is a full deposit refund. A guest-cancellation deadline and standard deposit amount were not clearly confirmed, so request those details with the dated booking terms.

Details checked October 11, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
