    Great trip and outstanding crew!

    3/4 Day Trip on May 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    My wife, two boys and I took a 3/4 day charter with them this morning and had an outstanding time. While the fishing itself was a bit slow, the captain and first mate did everything they could and went out of their way to do their absolute best for my boys. In the end, everyone has a great time and before we'd left the parking lot, they were asking to sign up with them again while we're still in town for the week. Thanks so much for a truly outstanding morning!

    Hard day but beautiful

    Full Day Trip on March 25, 2026 • 4 adults

    Capt Brian Estes worked his tail off to try and get us on the fish! We booked. Full day charter for my family of 4. Brian was super personable, knowledgeable about the area. We caught 2 grouper (we couldn’t keep, not in season) in the morning, then we trolled trying to get some mahi, wahoo or the like with no luck. Tried reef and wreck fishing again and caught a file fish. We went to the shallows and started fishing around docks and caught some small mangroves and some keeper Jack Caravelle! It was a hard day for fishing but being on a boat in the keys is bar none!

    Not many fish, still had fun

    Half Day Trip on June 8, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Even when you don’t catch many fish, Ana Banana and crew can still make it a fun day! The captain was great and tried his best to have us catching fish, but some days the fish just don’t cooperate. But my family had a good time, and when we got back to the pier, the captain cleaned our fish that we did catch and hooked a tarpon for my grandson to bring in. Great crew! Great time!

    Thank you for giving our family the best experience! They made us feel so welcome, and our boys (9 and 12) learned so much. They were both so patient and kind with our boys! We caught of a ton of fish, and Sean filleted them up for us to keep. We will definitely be back for the day-long trip. Thank you, again, Ana Banana Charters! 🍌

    What an afternoon!

    Extended Full Day Trip on October 1, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Brian was professional and fun. Day was looking to be washed out from rain but he said let’s go at noon. Best decision we ever made. He got us on a lot of different fish. We were wore out from this trip. Looking forward to fishing with Ana Banana again !

    Full Day Trip on April 8, 2026 • 4 adults

    Today we had Captain Brian Estes, who is super excited and passionate about getting you on the fish. We were on in under one hour! We trolled a large variety of fish in a variety of places. Brian is great cuz if the catch is done we are moving! it was great. We caught triple fin, skipjack, dolphin, trigger fish and more. Can’t recommend this charter enough!

    Shark sightings

    Half Day Trip on March 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    It was awesome and something I had not thought about. Bull sharks 🦈 trying to take your catch before you can get the fish in the boat. A new experience and a joy to fish with Captain Joel & Shawn. Oh yes caught lots of fish. 🎣We would do it again and recommend Anabanana Fishing highly!

    Great experience

    Half Day Trip on April 9, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Brian was great for our inshore 4hr trip. Brought us right to snappers. Our kids enjoyed the time and asked if we could do it again next time we were in the Keys. Probably caught 20 fish or so in 3hrs!

Captain Joel is on the water 300 days a year, and he loves every minute of it. This highly experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He is a Florida native who has traveled the world in pursuit of fish. He previously worked in the death care industry for almost 20 years, focusing on childhood grief and grief counseling. He is also the co-creator of two published children's books. Captain Joel loves introducing his guests to the most epic fish, which he believes can be found right where he is from: The Gulf of America and the Atlantic Ocean!
