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!
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!
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!
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!
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! 🍌
thank you great family. We enjoyed fishing with y'all.

Captain Joel is on the water 300 days per year, and he loves every minute of it. This very experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He's a native of Florida and has traveled the world over for fish. He used to be in the death care industry for almost 20 years and focused on childhood grief issues and grief counseling. He's also a co-creator of two published kids' books. Captain Joel loves acquainting his guests with the most epic fish, which he believes are exactly where he is from – the Gulf of America and Atlantic Ocean!
