Step aboard Stuart Daneman Charters to discover the riches of Sarasota Bay. Captain Stuart has spent his life on these productive waters. His career began here at the age of 15, and he’s never looked back. He can’t wait to show you the beauty of the bay and its incredible fishing opportunities.

The 25’ Aquasport center console is the ideal boat to explore these shallow waters. You’ll whizz across the bays, thanks to the 250 HP Yamaha engine, while the wireless trolling motor will see you gently navigate the mangroves, and backcountry. Utilize the outriggers and downriggers to spread the trolling lines, while the fully-stocked livewell will help you entice the bite of your prey.

Capt. Stuart has over 120 rods and reels. Take advantage of the light tackle for a thrilling experience, or try to fill the boat with heavier gear. As well as trolling the more open waters, you’ll get to bottom fish the reefs to attract some more exotic fish. In the shallows, experienced anglers can try their hand at bowfishing for a real back-to-basics experience.

The inshore waterways are overflowing with delicious fish. Along with Flounder and Sheepshead, you’ll find Redfish and Pompano, ensuring a tantalizing experience. You’ll also get to practice your skills against some prized fish. Tough-fighting Snook will give even the most avid angler a run for your money and, during the season, you’ll go after the star of the seas: Tarpon.

Up to 9 miles offshore, you’ll get to hit the reefs and target some beautiful bottom-dwelling fish. Try to reel in your fill of Groupers, Snappers, Cobia, and many more delicious creatures to take home, or troll to catch some Spanish or King Mackerel.

You’ll head back home with more than just a story to tell, as Capt. Stuart will clean and prepare your catch at the end of the day. Just bring your own food and drink, some sunscreen, and a camera to get that all important money shot. Come and experience the Suncoast’s best shallow water fishing!

Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM)

Fishing with Captain Stuart

VERIFIED

We had a fantastic day! Great weather, great boat, great captain, and most importantly GREAT fishing. Captain Stuart put us on the snook and we must of caught at least 30. Almost every cast was catching! Captain had 3 poles going so the two of us had non-stop action. My son-in-law definitely caught the biggest but I think I caught a few more than him. Next time I’m in Sarasota visiting Captain Stuart will definitely be on the to-do list. Super knowledgeable and just a great guy! If you want a great day on the water look know further than Captain Stuart Daneman Charters!

Captain Stuart was so accommodating to make sure we had the best experience. There were 4 of us and we were always fishing. Captain Stuart would always be baiting our hooks or coaching us on where they were. You can tell that he’s very familiar with the waters around Sarasota. From the moment our first line hit the water he was going non stop. Everyone had a great time and caught fish. I highly recommend Captain Stuart. He does everything possible to ensure you enjoy your trip. Thank you !!!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)

Morning inshore

VERIFIED

Captain Stuart was excellent. Pre-trip communication was great, he tailored the morning to go after what I was looking for (good table fare). Almost every minute of the four hour trip was spent fishing, very little down time. His bait is all ready to go (no time spent catching bait) and he brings a ton of tackle and rods so no time is wasted rigging new gear. Stuart is very personable and really loves to fish! I highly recommend his charter and will be booking again when I'm back in Sarasota.
