How the Shark Club works

Catch a 4-foot or larger shark aboard a Wave Dancer Charters boat and you have earned your membership. Every new member gets an official Shark Catch Certificate, personalized and signed by your captain and ready to frame; a Shark Club member sticker; a real shark tooth necklace in the color of your choice; a raffle ticket for the free trip drawing; a spot on the Shark Club Wall of Fame; and bragging rights, because not everyone can say they landed a 4-foot shark in the Gulf.

Free trip giveaway. Every 4-foot-plus shark gets you entered to win a free 4-hour shark trip for three people. The drawing is held at the end of October every year.

Shark trips run April through September. Call us to confirm current dates and availability before booking.

2026 Shark Club winners

This year’s drawing was held October 30, 2026. Keven Phillips took biggest shark of the season with a 10-foot hammerhead and won the free 4-hour trip. Margo Farris won the free-trip drawing from all of this year’s Shark Club members. Congratulations to both, and thanks to everyone who got in the fight this season.
