MeetCaptain Nathan Diaz
I’ve been very lucky and fortunate to call Tampa Bay home for my whole life. I started fishing with my Dad at a very early age. From offshore adventures to the middle grounds, to fishing the flats – we did it all!
I always knew that I wanted to make a career on the water, sharing with locals and visitors all that Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico has to offer.
Here's what others have to say

A fantastic time. Capt. Nate knows his craft and hustled to keep lines in the water fishing. The boat was clean and comfortable with plenty of quality gear for everyone. Will definitely be back again.

I am a 65 year old avid fisherman and have been on my fair share of fishing charters. Vacationing in Florida and wanting to get on the water I came across Big Bay Charters and Captain Nate Diaz – BTW This the first time I have taken the time to post a review. So hands down the most prompt, personable and professional charter Captain I ever dealt with!! Water temperature wasn’t ideal – with that said we landed some nice Snook, a Jack Crevalle ( an amazing fight!) and he has a secret spot for Bonnet head sharks. Caught 3 in the matter of a half hour. So don’t hesitate to book trip
