Taking a trip with AMI Sportfishing Charters means you’re in good hands for your day out! Captain Austin has been fishing these waters ever since he could hold a rod. This isn’t just a job for him, it’s a way of living. There’s no fish in this area he doesn’t know how to catch. Just pick a target and see it for yourself.

You’ll be fishing aboard his 26’ Offshore Stapleton boat that accommodates up to 6 anglers. She’s powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine and features the latest navigational electronics. The boat also has two live bait tanks and a cooler for your catch. During offshore trips, you’ll be accompanied by first mate as well, who’s going to set up your equipment and show you the best ways to use it.

The trips take place in the waters near beautiful Anna Maria Island. Capt. Austin offers a wide variety of fishing adventures, depending on where you want to go and how long you want to stay. The main targets for the day are Redfish, Snook, Trout, Tarpon, Cobia, Kingfish, Grouper, Snapper, and Sharks.

All fishing equipment, tackle, and licenses are Included. If you want to go fly fishing, make sure to bring your own equipment and notify the captain in advance. Bring your food, drinks, hats, and sunglasses.

AMI Sportfishing Charters welcomes all anglers of any experience level. Pick a trip and catch your trophy today!

Austin was AMAZING!!
Half Day Trip – Offshore on July 12, 20256 adults
This was our first fishing trip we have ever gone on and we can’t say enough about Captain Austin!!!! From start to finish the trip was way beyond our expectations! He was so accomodating in every aspect! We caught lots of fish, and even a shark!! We had a blast! If you’re looking for a great family fishing trip look no further!
