Come to Bradenton, Florida and book a fun and exciting trip at Aquatic Escapes! Embark on its inshore and offshore waters, reefs, wreck, flats, and the backcountry full of tasty and hard-fighting fish you'll have a great time chasing. Captain Jarrod Wallach will know where to take you for the biggest catch and how to make your trip the best possible, so join him aboard and have a memorable fishing time in Bradenton!

You'll fish from a 25' Sportsman bay boat. Inshore trips carry up to 6 people as a family group, usually three or four adults plus two or three kids. Tarpon and Shark trips are capped at 4 anglers. It runs on a 250 HP Yamaha engine, and uses GPS, a fishfinder, and radio for navigation. The boat features a multimedia system, wireless trolling motor, as well as 2 Yeti coolers. You can also use the livewell and snorkeling gear.

The species you'll chase include Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Tripletail, Blacktip Shark, Mackerel, Snook, and more. Using light and heavy tackle, you'll attract them by bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as drift fishing. You can keep the fish you catch and you can bring kids on your trip provided they are 6 or older.

You're covered for all the fishing tackle, bait, catch cleaning, as well as fishing licenses. No food is provided on any trip. There is extra bottled water on board, so just bring the drinks of your choice and some sun protection. Drinks in cans only - no glass bottles on the boat. A first mate is on board for almost every trip, baiting hooks, tying lines, netting your fish, and making sure everyone has a cold drink in hand.

Come visit Aquatic Escapes and relax on the gorgeous waters of Bradenton!

From as early as I can remember, my dad had me on a boat with a fishing rod in my hands. At first, I was simply excited to have bait on my hook and hang out with my dad. As I grew up, the fish got bigger and bigger... and I was hooked! Growing up in New York, we would fish for Fluke, Flounder, Striped Bass, and Cod in the winter. We would also enter the occasional shark fishing tournament. Fishing was, and still remains, a huge part of my life. It gave my father and me the time we needed to bond before he unexpectedly left us in 2006. It was always my father's dream to retire and use his captain's license to open a charter business. Every day, I strive to keep his legacy alive.
