Private/Corporate Events

Who are we?

My name is Erika Almond, and I’m the owner of Suncoast Classic Events. With many years of experience, I specialize in corporate sponsored events that focus on inshore and offshore fishing out of Tampa Bay. As the tournament director of the Suncoast Kingfish Classic and the Suncoast Ladies’ Classic that runs multiple fishing events per year averaging 500-1000 attendees per event, Executive Director of a prominent organization that promotes public awareness of and encourage the protection of marine fisheries and coastal habitats, and was a classroom teacher for over twenty years, my team and I are able to offer a team building service that would provide your group with an amazing experience on the Gulf of Mexico.

Benefits of our team building experience…

The benefits of team building include increased communication, planning skills, employee motivation, and employee collaboration. Fun activities that help people see each other in a different light allow them to connect in a different setting. Why not provide your employees with a unique experience that allows them to get out on the water in one of the best fisheries around? The Gulf of Mexico provides a variety of fishing regardless of the time of year. This unique experience will allow your staff to connect in a way like no other. From meeting your captain, cocktail parties, dinners and appetizers showcasing Florida’s amazing cuisine, to fishing with tournament winning captains in some of the most beautiful waters in the world, this experience will not disappoint.

What do we provide?

Our team will provide a top notch service from beginning to end. Everything is customizable depending on your needs. Our services include, but are not limited to:

· Coordination of lodging and transportation to and from the event site.

· Options of inshore and/or offshore fishing trips guided by captains knowledgeable in our area. These can also be full or half day charters.

· Cocktails, appetizers, live music, parties, and dinners on the days the group is at the venue.
