Meet the Captain – Fish Dream Charters
Captain Jordan Buendia is the owner and operator of Fish Dream Charters, a St. Petersburg fishing charter business based in the heart of Tampa Bay, Florida. His passion for fishing began at a young age, spending time on the water with family and quickly developing a deep respect for the Gulf Coast ecosystem. What started as weekend fishing trips turned into a lifelong commitment to sharing the water with others and helping guests experience the excitement of catching fish in one of Florida’s most productive estuaries.
With years of hands-on experience as a St. Petersburg fishing guide, Captain Jordan has developed strong local knowledge of Tampa Bay’s tides, structure, and seasonal fish movements. He operates with a strong focus on safety, professionalism, and guest satisfaction, ensuring every trip is both enjoyable and well-managed. Fully committed to providing high-quality family-friendly fishing charters in St. Petersburg, he tailors each trip to the skill level of his guests, from beginners to experienced anglers looking for consistent action on the water.
Beyond guiding, Captain Jordan is known for his dedication to creating positive on-the-water experiences and sharing knowledge about responsible fishing practices. His approach emphasizes respect for the resource, helping preserve Tampa Bay’s fishery for future generations. Guests often appreciate his patience, clear instruction, and ability to keep trips fun, relaxed, and productive, whether targeting inshore species or exploring deeper waters around the bay.
He runs trips aboard a 23’ Skeeter powered by a 200HP Yamaha engine, built for speed, stability, and comfort. Equipped with modern GPS and fish-finding electronics, the boat allows efficient navigation across Tampa Bay’s fishing grounds. With space for up to four guests, it provides an ideal setup for private fishing trips, offering a smooth ride, quick access to fishing spots, and a comfortable experience for families and anglers of all levels.
