Spearfishing & Lionfish
The Gulf Coast is a spearfishing paradise. From reef fish to pelagic species, Shark Quest supports hunters with spearfishing-friendly charters, expert local knowledge, and dedicated lionfish hunting trips.
Spearfishing Charters
Target grouper, snapper, amberjack, and more on our spearfishing-focused trips. We know the spots, the seasons, and the techniques that produce results. Our crew will clean your fish when we get back to the dock.
Lionfish Hunting
Shark Quest is home to the 2022 Florida Fish and Wildlife Lionfish King. Let Nick or one of his staff show you how to safely harvest and clean lionfish — an invasive species that's threatening Gulf Coast reefs and one of the best-tasting fish you'll ever put on your plate.
