Island Boat Tours & Adventures offers fun-filled, family-friendly days on the water. Spend your day exploring the beautiful Anna Maria Island. Visit isolated sandbars. Swim in the clear, warm waters. And of course, fish for great inshore species.

The waters around Bradenton Beach, FL are full of tasty fish. Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, and Pompano can all be caught here, and are as great to eat as they are to catch. You can also find some of Florida's greatest game fish like Tarpon swimming about here. The area has all the makings of the perfect day out with your family or friends.

And so does the boat! Their 26' Beach Cat combines all the open space and shady comfort of a pontoon with the stability of a catamaran. She was completely overhauled in 2022 and now makes for the perfect family-friendly fishing platform. The large, open deck also has plenty of room for a wheelchair.

All Island Boat Tours & Adventures trips come with rods, tackle, lures, bait, and licenses for up to four anglers. If not all of you want to fish, an additional two non-anglers can join on your trip. So grab your food, drinks, sunscreen, and camera, and climb aboard with the whole family or all your friends for that perfect day on the water.

Had a great time and even caught fish
3 Hour fishing Trip on June 19, 20262 adults

we only caught 3 fish that were large enough to keep but did have the fun of catching even more that we had to throw back Louis was wonderful about helping cast our lines and bait our hooks (mine in particular). He cleaned our fish when we got back. 3 ladies were probably a challenge for him and we kept him plenty busy but he was cheerful about doing it Fun day

Amazing Day with Captain Louis
3 Hour fishing Trip on July 18, 20253 adults1 child

Captain Louis made our fishing trip unforgettable—especially for my 6-year-old son. He was incredibly patient, kind, and made sure my son felt like a true fisherman from the moment we boarded. With Louis’s help, my son caught grouper, pigfish, catfish, snapper, and even a blowfish! He hasn’t stopped talking about it since. If you’re looking for a fun, kid-friendly charter with someone who truly cares, book with Captain Louis. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect kid friendly fishing trip!
Family Oriented Fishing (AM) on December 29, 20252 adults2 children

Captain Louis provided our family with a fantastic fishing adventure. He was very knowledgable about the area and took the time to teach our 2 kids the secrets to cathching fish. We also found several dolphins near the sand bar and got to watch them play while we enjoyed the beautiful area out of the boat. Captain Louis was a great host and very patient with our kids on their first charter. We all caught several fish and had a memorable time!

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
