Explore the Tampa Bay like a true buccaneer and join Captain Kirby's Fishing Charters on an unforgettable adventure! As a locally owned business, operated by a captain who is native to these waters, you can expect to have an experienced guide and teacher every step of the way. Captain Alex Kirby takes pride in satisfying his clients and catering to their every need.
You'll be voyaging the surrounding waters of Bradenton and Anna Maria Island in a 26ft 'Collier Boat Works' boat. This baby is powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine, comes with a GPS, fishfinder, wireless trolling motor, and safety gear, and can fit up to 4 guests per trip.
Cruise through Tampa's inshore waters in style while using top-quality Quantum and Fin-Nor fishing gear. Test your light tackle skills while targeting hard-fighting fish, such as Cobia and Tarpon, or try and outsmart your nautical tricksters, like Permit and Snook. Other species that you'll most likely be targeting are Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and more. As long as it's in season, Capt. Alex will clean and fillet your catch for you so it's ready for the grill when you get home!
If you're looking to get outside for the day, partner up with a few mates, and enjoy some quality angling, then Captain Kirby's Fishing Charters should be at the top of your bucket list. Your captain will provide you with your fishing license, gear, bait, and lures so that you can focus on the fun part. Make the Tampa Bay/Bradenton area your next fishing destination and book your trip with Capt. Alex today!

Alex made our trip simple and flexible. He met us at the dock promptly even when we were 30 minutes early to our reservation. Got out to the fishing spots quickly and was ready with bait etc. Super professional and had a great time. Quick with fileting the fish and had bags etc. I would definitely book with Alex again! Thanks for the memorable trip with my two sons and father!
4hr inshore morning trip for the family. Alex knew exactly where to put us on the fish, he was all over the boat making sure everyone had bait in the water. We caught our limit of Redfish in the first few hours and then moved to target sea trout. We caught more sea trout than we could count and kept a few lovely big ones. We also had some Spanish Mackeral that we landed and overall had a brilliant trip. Highly recommend!
great time with captain Kirby would recommend to anyone looking to so some fishing
Had a great time with you guys this morning! More then welcome back anytime your in town! Till next time, tight lines!
Booked a half day trip on a very busy weekend and we still had a great day fishing. We were catching fish the whole time we were on the boat.
We had a very diverse group of family on the boat with Captian Kirby and he made it so much fun for all of us. Captian put us on fish fast and kept the action coming. We had a blast and are already looking forward to our next trip. Highly recommend booking with Captian Kirby. Thanks again!

My dad got me into fishing and boating when I was a little boy and I've been hooked ever since. I've spent a lot of time on the water because that's what I love. It's a true passion of mine, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I love taking kids or beginners out for the first time, seeing them catch their first fish. I love seeing the smiles on people's faces when they catch a new species they've never caught before. To me, that's really what it's all about!
