Explorer Fishing Charters – 28'
With Explorer Fishing Charters, the prolific waters of Sarasota will be all yours. Enjoy the thrill of catching the most exciting monsters of the deep this area has to offer.
Explore the angling opportunities within 9 miles from shore and get your hands on Kingfish, Permit, Barracuda, Red and Gag Grouper, African Pompano, Tripletail, Hogfish, and who knows what else?
All you have to do is book a trip and hop on board a 28’ Contender boat. This spacious vessel can accommodate up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style.
The boat can cruise at a hair-raising speed of 60 knots thanks to its twin 250 HP Yamaha engines. Its top-notch GPS and fishfinder will build up a clear image of where the fish are hiding and a selection of quality equipment will help you make a great catch possible.
All trips come inclusive with the use of Crowder rods, Penn and Shimano reels, live bait, and lures. Once you return to the shore, all keeper fish will be cleaned for you. Just bring your own food and drinks and enjoy your trip!

My wife and 2 boys had a great trip with Captain Ron. He worked hard to ensure we got plenty of action and kept the boys busy reeling.
