I went on my first charter with them and had a great time. I immediately booked a second dive trip. I was texted last minute by the captain advising they had to change the time they were leaving because "something came up". I could not make that trip and tried to make arrangements to go on several other trips but due to scheduling it did not work out on either end. On Sept 13th I asked for a credit / gift card for another trip. I was not going to be able to go for many weeks and wanted something showing I had a credit for the 200+ I had paid, but got no response. On Sept 19th I asked for a refund since they had ignored my request and again got no response. On Friday the 26th I asked for acknowledgment of my request and yet again, got no response. On Monday the 29th I called and left a message for the owner to contact me and never got a call back. I had to put in a dispute with my credit card company. Be cautious booking with them. First experience was great, second experience showed they couldn't care less, once they have your money it doesn't matter if they take you diving or not. read more

2 Shea Charters - Gag Grouper, Snapper, Hogfish - Fishing Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Really enjoyed our dives with 2 Shea. Great crew, good service, prompt communication... the weather was spectacular. Again. Awesome dive. The reason I am giving three stars is that the head on the boat was less than desirable. There was no light in the bathroom, the door didn't close, it didn't flush, there was nasty stuff floating around. That is just not acceptable, and must be fixed, there's no reason for this. read more

Our family of 5 took a 4 hrs fishing charter with Captain Randy and Captain Mike. They were on top of there game. I got a confirmation phone call the day before. Ask me several questions about our party to make our trip as smooth as possible. They were ready to go when we arrived. Fished for 3+ hours. Big comfortable boat. If your looking for a great fishing experience give them a shot. Yes we caught plenty of fish to bring home and make a to.n of fish tacos. read more

We booked a 6 hour deep sea fishing charter with 2 Shea July 2023 for us and our three grand boys, aged 15, 11, and 8. We had never been on a deep sea fishing charter before, so we were unsure what to expect. The boys have only fished in a pond, so we didn't know how they would like this, even though they wanted to try it. We were fortunate to have Captain TJ as our host on this trip. Wow, were we impressed! We visited 3 fishing sites and caught fish constantly. Our lines were always in the water - as soon as we caught a fish, the crew would be there to bait us up and have our hooks back in the water. We got to meet up with one of their dive boats and the boys were able to spend some time swimming in the Gulf at the dive site. They had a blast jumping off the boat into the water, all while under the watchful eye of the crew. As we made it back to shore, the crew prepped our catch for us to take to a local restaurant for lunch. Needless to say, we enjoyed a delicious meal! I would highly recommend 2 Shea and we plan to go again, as we take the boys on vacation to Florida each year. It was an outstanding fishing charter that exceeded our expectations. read more

Some people pan the "Cattle Boats" because they have 25-30 divers on them, however, 2Shea handled it very well. I did not hear a single complaint from any of the divers (and there were 32 on this trip). It seemed that everyone had a great experience and created some good memories. Capt. Tracey and Dive Master Rob took excellent care of the passengers and seemed to follow all Coast Guard rules and regulations as required. Roll call was taken every time we returned to the boat and they made sure everyone was paying attention to the crew that was speaking. My wife went along and bubble watched, she said she had a great time talking with the crew and just being out on the boat reading her book. The viz off Clearwater is never perfect, so it you are expecting Key Largo with 500 foot viz, you are setting yourself up for a disappointing trip... drive on down to the Keys if you want the Keys or fly off to the ABC islands. Saw some nurse sharks and a bazillion fishes of every kind and size. The two dives were in Veterans reef, which are "3 Barges" and "Circle of Heroes" Viz was 10 feet or so at the barges until the open water folks hit the bottom and stirred it up then it could drop to close to nothing, but it passes with the current. I would go with 2 Shea's again as they delivered exactly what I was hoping to get. They can't control the viz, just the process of getting you to the site and back home safe, and that they did very well. read more

They are great Both Capt Good and Felix were awesome Made sure everyone was safe and had a great time Bull Shark, turtle, hog fish and much more highly recommend them Everyone had a great day when I move to Florida I'm be back read more

Had an awesome time with these guys. We had a group of 7 and a big cooler of beer. We went out for a half day and will definitely go back out for a full day when we get the chance. They are very knowledgeable about the area and have their own spots they go to. They were very efficient in setting up all the gear and getting us fishing. When we caught a fish they were right next to us to help bring it into the boat and put it away if it was big enough. After we got back to shore they filleted all the fish, which was a lot for a group of 7! All in all we had a great and memorable experience. The captains that came with us were very nice and I can't wait to go out with them again. ...also if you're worried there is a bathroom on the boat, so don't let that hold you back! read more

2 Shea Charters - Capt. Pete. - Fishing Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Best on the gulf coast Three words: Experienced, Knowledgeable, and Professionalism. I've used Two Shea for the past 6 years. Two Shea sets themselves apart from other charters. I've used charters abroad everywhere I've travelled and I wish they were all like Two Shea. Captain TJ has always been an outstanding operator. Two Shea delivers high quality experiences that you won't forget. I have used Two Shea as a fishing charter in the past. On this last trip to Florida (moving there soon) I dialed the magic numbers and signed up online for a 2 dive charter with my brother. My brother is open water and I'm advanced as well with Nitrox. Dive boat was clean and offers sun protection with shade for those who may not want the extra vitamin D. All crew members were knowledgeable, professional, and respectful. No matter your level of certification you and your group will be well taken care of. Both of my recent two trips with them 3/30/23 with my brother & 4/3/23 just me and I did a two tank dive. Dive sites were very beautiful. Visibility was 25-30ft and water was 72 degrees, and 1-2ft waves. A picture perfect day to dive both days. The amount of fish on the sites was incredible. Mangrove, grays, barracuda, snook, hog fish, amberjack, sandbar shark, Goliath grouper, and many more. No need to worry if you are diving by yourself they'll pair you up with someone who is a single as well or you'd be with a dive master or instructor. Overall a great experience on the dive side. Great company and I definitely will be learning how to spearfish with them after I get settled in FL. I've now fished and now done dives with Two Shea. Wanna be wowed and create unforgettable memories? Two Shea and Tanks A lot are experts in customer service and delivering high quality experiences. Check them out today, you'll thank me later. read more

At a wreck dive. Saw a Sandbar Shark right quick then Goliath grouper and all other kinds of life the entire time. Great crew, Corey was an amazing guide highly recommended. Corey went above and beyond as my added guide for the trip pointing out all kinds life I would have not seen unless he pointed them out. Pete was our captain and did a great job driving the boat making our ride enjoyable out and back in. I Was only going to do one trip but might have to add another before I leave. read more

Great crew! Most relaxed charter we've taken. Laid back atmosphere. Captain Tracey and her crew were awesome and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend! My BC broke after the first dive and had to be replaced; thankfully, 2 Shea had a spare allowing me to complete the second dive! read more

We went out with Captain Good and first mate Hank and they were awesome!!! We had a blast both guys were very helpful. Captain Good was super funny. This is the place we choose every time we come down to Florida. 10 out of 10 read more

Any day you can go diving is a pretty good day, and 2 Shea Charters is a great crew to help you enjoy your day! They take you out to the best spots they know, to include spots to search for shark and Meg teeth. We weren't lucky enough to find Meg teeth on our dive but we did bring up two Sand Tiger teeth and a Lemon Shark tooth. The crew is helpful and friendly and willing to assist with your gear if you're still learning and need a bit of help. And on the ride back in, they brought down a super comfy bean-bag chair for me to relax on. We docked and I didn't want to get up! Thanks 2 Shea. We'll see you next time! read more

The charter was well run. The captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was in good shape and had all of the necessary safety equipment. read more

Thank you Captain Mike and First Mate Will! We had the time of our lives! The crew was knowledgeable and fun to be with. Thanks for making memories our family will have forever! read more

2 Shea Charters - Boat - Fishing Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

The staff was so wonderful! So friendly, knowledgeable, and safe! I've been diving for over 28 years and have been on many dive boats and charters. 2 Shea was outstanding! It was so comforting to see the divemaster making his rounds to the different dive buddy teams, to make sure everyone was safe and receiving an exceptional diving experience. He pointed out several things, including a stingray, that I'm sure I would have missed had he not been there. I've noticed that many dive shops and charters in Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete offer dive trips to nearby springs and to the east coast of Florida. I live on the east coast and wanted a different experience, by diving in the Gulf. After an exhaustive search, I've found that 2 Shea is one of the few, if not the ONLY charter to offer diving in the Gulf! I highly recommend them! read more

My friend at work won a fishing trip and most of us were a little nervous since we didnt have a lot of experience being on the water. But the captain and crew really did a great job of easing any fears we had and made it a super fun trip. The boat was bigger than we expected and a really smooth ride. We got to sit up on the top level and the view was really beautiful. At first we thought we'd only spend an hour or so out in the water and then drive the boat to a bar but it was so much fun we ended up staying out fishing the whole day! Everyone caught fish and even a shark, which was obviously let go. But seeing the ocean all around us, the sun shining, beautiful fish, it was just amazing. Even if you have anxiety or fears about being on a boat or in the water, when you're with friends and an awesome crew, its easy to loose yourself in the beauty and have a great time. I would def reccomend booking a trip! read more

Did a did charter. Great crew--professional, engaged, and very safety conscious. As a very occasional diver, they put me at ease and we're very helpful. TJ and his staff in the office are very personable and accommodating. Thank you for a great excursion! Jeannie and Danielle read more

Great well run dive charter with great facilities and a beautiful dive shop. However, they advertise a Dive Guide being in the water... However if there was one in the water it was never announced or made known outside of a top side briefing. Not a big deal but dont expect any added value from it. read more

2 Shea is absolutely amazing! The captains, dive masters, instructors... all are wonderful to work with and go our diving or fishing with. I get out as often as I can to dive with 2 Shea and I always feel welcomed, safe and have the best time! I also did a corporate fishing charter which was excellent! I highly recommend 2 Shea! read more

What a great place to dive. They keep everything organized, safe, and fun. They communicated about upcoming weather and accommodated moving my reservation date. Equipment rentals are good quality and had the right sizes. Staff offer refresher dives for those of us land locked folks. The waters aren't blue and clear, but still good visibility and interesting aquatic life. read more

Great team at 2 Shea! Had a snafu with weather and and having to reschedule a spearfishing trip, Everyone at 2 Shea even when the Owner who was not in the shop made sure it got fixed quick with no hassle to me, they just figured it out and made it happen. Then we proceeded to go and have a great day on the water and get some fresh snapper for dinner. Book a Rod and Reel, recreational dive, spearfishing or even a sunset cruise with them you won't be disappointed. When a good chunk of you're business is repeat locals who have many options and time to try a lot of businesses and we all choose 2 Shea, Its for good reason. read more

We had the best time with Captain TJ and our dive master, Kalyn. There were plenty of hands on deck to help us get setup and get on our way. It was so refreshing to see the whole team working together and helping each other make sure it was a good experience for us. The gear we rented was good quality and well maintained. The boat was really nice, clean and comfortable. They took us to a couple of great spots with plenty of things to see, room to explore and look for local species. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I'd recommend 2 Shea charters to anyone wanting to dive out of Clearwater. read more

Enjoyed the 2 tank dive today. I will definitely use them again if I'm in the area. The water was calm and the viz was OK but with last weeks storm it could have been worse. read more

Cpt TJ and Ret. 1st Sgt Eric, were awesome. I did the spear fishing trip. First time touching a speargun. Eric was extremely patient and did his best to find us fish. I was able to nail one fish my first try. Granted it was probably more luck than anything, but in all it was an amazing experience. If I'm ever back in Florida, I'm definitely booking another trip. read more

Had a great time diving with 2 Shea Charters. The crew took my daughter and I out to the Airplane Barge and the Three Barges sites. The crew was experienced, helpful, and top notch. Dropping in on a school of amber jacks hunting a large school of bay anchovies and also having eyes on a couple goliath groupers were icing on the cake. 2 Shea Dive Charters is highly recommended. Will definitely dive with them the next time we're in the Clearwater, FL area. read more

Closed due to COVID-19 but Capt TJ still trying to do his best!! --------*-----------*----------*----------*-------- Good morning, this is capt tj with 2 Shea charters and Tanks a lot Dive Charters. So I did confirm this morning that we are officially 100% shut down. They made the decision last night to shut all charters down. There was a way for some of us with upper stations to get around it and that was my plan for for the weekend. That has changed. I am very sorry for the bad news. The last thing we want to do is cancel during our business time of year with this unseasonably perfect weather. We can either fully refund you or reschedule your trip to a future date, whichever you prefer. Once again we hate to have to do this, but hopefully it will aid to the more speedy recovery of this situation and we can get back to operating. Please let me know that you received this. We have a lot of bookings that I have to send this out to over the next 2 weeks and I look forward to seeing all of you down the road. Capt TJ read more

The most unprofessional dive shop I have ever seen. I flew down to St. Pete for this dive trip and they cancelled on me. I understand this happens but I'm upset because they never reached out to me.... I showed up to the dive shop the day of the planned dive and they never reached out to me to tell me the dive was cancelled.... When I tried to reach someone at the shop, no one answered their phone calls. I even left them a voicemail and they never called me back.... Having booked a hotel, rented a car and checked a diving bag for my flights this was an expensive overlook. I would never recommend them under any circumstances. Truly the worst I have ever dealt with- I'm sorry I booked anything with them. read more

I was referred by my Dive Instructor in Tampa. Fantastic experience. I was a bit nervous as this was my first dive going solo after recently getting certified. First class all around. Extremely helpful Only problem I can see is word is getting around as I found out just now as I tried to book a dive this weekend. I'll have to wait till next week unless someone backs out. read more

I cannot tell you enough how much fun I had out on the water diving and spearing with Mr Chris and Captain Brian at 2 Shea Charters. I'm not new to diving but was to Spearfishing and they were welcoming, fun, and enthusiastic! They are probably now my go to place to dive and spear with in Clearwater/Tampa Area. I came down from Panama City,Fl to have a good time and they delivered! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. read more

Enjoyed a nice two tank dive last week with 2 Shea. Only five us on the boat but they went 10 miles out to sea with us anyway. Super dive guide and boat captain. I'll use them again for sure, highly recommended. read more

I've been fishing and diving with TJ from 2 Shea Charters for a few years now and I'm so glad I found them. I've been on those "cattle boats" before, and this is nothing like that.

Capt TJ and Dive Master Pete were great! 2 Shea isn't your average dive charter. We are new divers but they didn't treat us any differently than the seasoned divers that traveled with us. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and FUN. The v-haul we were on was a fast and smooth ride, with a suburb sound system. We will absolutely dive with them again. read more

Can't accurately review my dives with 2 shea because we were blown off half an hour before we were supposed to arrive at the dock. I had tried to confirm my dives the day before, left 2 messages, and never got a call back. We got a text at 7:30 am (we were supposed to leave at 8) saying there had been some sort of mix up that he had just found out about, and that he could no longer take us diving. Long story short, we missed our chance to dive so if you want to dive around Tampa I'd recommend looking elsewhere. read more

We went deep sea fishing with 2 Shea while in Clearwater! Our captain was Brian and Tito I would say was his left hand man! Tito was very outgoing and sociable! He told us a lot about all different kinds of fish and how to cook what we catch. Brian and Tito made sure that we were catching fish ! We had a very nice time and Brian and Tito compliment each other well! Captain TJ was very responsive to my several phone calls and always kept me informed! read more

Had a great time today with 2 Shea! Went on a 2 tank dive and saw sharks, turtles, groupers and stingrays! Ellen and Brian were both great and made the dive enjoyable.

Recommend them for anyone diving in the Tampa Bay area! read more
