Crystal River Bowfishing Charters
Our Crystal River and Homosassa bowfishing adventures combine hunting and fishing into an action-packed, aquatic sport! Capt. Justin Dymond & Florida Bowfishing Adventures takes clients into the heart of Florida’s Nature Coast for the best bowfishing the Sunshine State has to offer!
We fish the Crystal River and Homosassa area along the seven main spring-fed rivers that lead to the Gulf of Mexico. The water we fish is crystal clear, providing clear sight of the marine life below and opportunities to target multiple fresh and saltwater species!
Bowfishing Florida’s Crystal River will have you constantly engaged and on your toes in anticipation! Be prepared to see thousands of fish darting in the water each night along with pods of dolphins which routinely work alongside the boat, catching fish that are fleeing our lights.

Novices & Families with Kids Are Welcome
Florida Bowfishing Adventures’ clients have shot three FL state record fish while on charters with Capt. Justin. But that certainly doesn’t mean that you need to be an expert shot to go on a Florida bowfishing adventure.
All ages and skill levels are welcome and will have the opportunity to participate in the excitement! Whether you’re a complete novice or an old hand – Captain Justin will turn you into bowfishing expert by the end of the night! And when it comes to getting the kiddos involved, you’ll find Justin to be a patient and personable coach.
Best Time for a Bowfishing Charter
The best times for Crystal River bowfishing charters are the last 3 hours of the outgoing tide and the first 3 hours of the incoming tide. After that, the water gets deeper which makes it more difficult to see the fish. To provide you with the best opportunity for success, we’ll adjust trip times around the tides and weather.
Additional Bowfishing Charter Details
Our Florida bowfishing charters typically depart at sunset from Crystal River, FL – however, times may vary based on tides/weather. Clients will be contacted by Capt. Justin prior to the trip to establish exact meeting time and location.
Prior to leaving the dock, your guide will provide brief instructions of how to use the bowfishing equipment and go over safety procedures.
No prior bowfishing or archery experience is required – in fact, many complete novices to bowfishing are able to quickly master the skill.
At the end of your bowfishing trip, your guide will be happy to clean your catch and is included in the price of your charter. Clients are welcome to wait for the fish to be cleaned, after boat returns to dock, or you can meet the following morning to pick up your cleaned fish if you do not wish to wait after trip.
