A whole world of exciting fishing awaits you in Holmes Beach. Step aboard Anna Maria Ville Charters and explore the pristine Tampa Bay and the Gulf’s nearshore reefs and go after a range of exciting and delicious fish.
Captain Jimmy Reagan has been an avid angler for as long as he can remember. He used to go fishing with his grandmother as a young boy and has not lost any of the enthusiasm he had back then. He’s delighted to combine his passion for fishing with meeting new people, and hopes to take you on the trip of a lifetime as you seek to fill the boat.
Talking of the boat, the 26’ Donzi center console is the perfect fishing vessel for fishing these shallow waters. Light and nimble, she’ll whizz off across the bay to get to the fishing grounds in no time. Depending on your trip, up to 6 guests are welcome aboard, with 4 anglers being able to fish at the same time. You’ll have near 360-degree views and plenty of space to battle it out with the fish on the end of your line.
Fitted with outriggers, you’ll cover a wide area of water when trolling, while you’ll also be using the latest rods and reels as you bottom fish. Get in touch with your captain if you’d like to try bowfishing, spearfishing, or fly fishing, and he’ll sort the equipment for you too.
Get ready to battle it out with a range of highly-prized species. You’re in for an intense battle in the flats, as you go after Redfish, Snook, and the “Silver King” – Tarpon. Along the reefs, you’ll target Snappers, Groupers, Cobia, and many more delicious creatures to take home for a delicious dinner. Savor the taste of success at the end of your workout, and you’ll be itching for more.
Capt. Jimmy or his first mate will clean and fillet your catch at the end of your trip, so there’s nothing left for you to do. Everything you need for a productive day on the water awaits you on board with Anna Maria Ville Charters. Bring some snacks and drinks aboard and settle in for a memorable fishing expedition.

Half Day Trip (AM)
Such a great day on the water with my family of 5. Captain Jimmy is amazing. He worked his tail off finding us the right fishing spots and putting us on fish. He’s been fishing down here since 1985 and knows the area better than anyone. Worked his tail off as he kept hooks baited and our lines in the water except when we were reeling in fish. Best part of the trip was Captain Jimmy. Had some great stories and history of the area. But went above and beyond working with our kids and teaching them different techniques based on what we were fishing for. Also, he even found some extra time on our way in for us to all to jump in the water and have some family play time, as well. He also sent us some great recipes on how to cook the fish including videos. There are a lot of fishing charter options to choose from in the area. I can guarantee you won’t find a better one that Captain Jimmy. I can’t guarantee how many fish you will catch but I guarantee you will have a blast on the water.

Captain Jimmy provided an excellent experience for our family. This was our first time fishing in ocean waters and our 10 year old daughter had an experience of a lifetime. You have to love when the young ones catch the most fish in a group of 4. We’ll definitely be rebooking in the future.

We had the absolute best time with Captain Jimmy! This was the best part of our visit to AMI. He was great with the kids! I wasn’t planning on fishing but he baited me a hooked, handed me a reel and I had a fish within a min or 2. We caught plenty of fish so he took us to Paradise Island which by the way was AMAZING! He even tried to help us find a place to stay for another night on the island! Highly recommend Captain Jimmy!!
