The captain just bought a brand new 2023 25 foot Sea Hunt bay boat ! It can seat up to 6 guests and runs on a 300 HP Yamaha outboard with a jack plate, duel power poles and a 36 volt trolling motor. It uses all the modern GPS, fishfinder, as well as radio technology for safe and efficient navigation. The boat has a portable toilet, hard top for shade, comfortable seat cushions in bow and stern, fishing platforms in bow and stern and a freshwater shower. You can also use the onboard cooler with ice provided.
The species you can target on your trip include Spotted Seatrout, Spanish mackeral, mangrove snapper, Sheepshead, Black Drum, redfish and snook . Using light tackle, you can fish with live or artificial bait. Feel free to bring your kids on the trip so they learn how to fish and have fun. You can keep the fish you catch.
For the trip, you should bring your snacks and drinks. Captain Sandy covers you for the regular fishing gear but not for spearfishing. She can also clean and bag your catch when the trip is over.

Kathleen A Hoose5.0VerifiedDolphin and manatee also!!!
Half Day Trip Fish, Beach or Cruise on April 24, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 childrenThe best part was trying to real the catch in as fast as you can because a dolphin was trying to steal it from me!!!!! We did about 4 different types of fishing and all were fun but trout fishing was the best! We normally do backwater mangrove fishing which is cool to but this was great to try something new!!!!
John Pollio5.01 full day, 1 half day.
3/4 Day Trip on July 24, 2021I booked 2 fishing trips with Captain Sandy last week, July 23 and 24, one trip was a half day inshore and the second trip was a full day offshore. As you can see from the photos fishing could not have been better. Not only did Captain Sandy share her knowledge on different fishing techniques she had all the best locations set into her gps. The 27 foot catamaran Sandy operates has all the conforts of home, fresh and salt water washdown, refrigerator and freeze, large bait well and very comfortable seating with a private head down below. I would book again
Terri Mersinger5.0VerifiedJanuary fishing trip
Half Day Trip Fish, Beach or Cruise on January 28, 2022 • 2 adultsWe caught rainbow trout & a nice sheepshead...... even though it was chilly & overcast, Captain Sandy got us on the fish! She was very knowledgeable & the boat was very clean & had a potty. She helped with putting our shrimp on & casting in tight places. We had a really good experience & will definitely use her again next time we want to schedule a charter!! Thank you, Captain Sandy!

Half Day Trip Fish, Beach or Cruise on July 11, 2023 • 6 adultsWhat a great day of fishing and nature watching..we saw manatees and dolphins as well. Sandy is great and eager to find the fish! She had everything prepared and loved her boat too. Very clean and easy to fish form.

Half Day Trip Fish, Beach or Cruise on March 16, 2022 • 5 adultsSandy was awesome! She took us to all of her spots but due to the change in wind and tide, we didn’t catch a lot…but it sure wasn’t for lack of effort on her part. We caught black tip shark, mackerel, and sea trout and are looking forward to our fish fry tonight! Sandy was super nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. We would definitely book with her again!!

3/4 Day Trip on July 27, 2022 • 5 adultsWe spend a great day with captain Sandy. We enjoy the trip and the beautiful beach. Got some small fishes and after captain Sandy cleaning the fish for us we could enjoyed eating them. We are recommending this tour even for who have no fishing’s experience, just like us, Sandy is the best person to guide and help you.

3/4 Day Trip on July 25, 2022 • 5 adultsTough fishing conditions…hot & windy, but Captain Sandy tried several spots. Had lunch on North Captiva and did some shelling and swimming on a remote beach. Nice family time.
Karen ShrevesRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest captain ever!
Half Day Trip Fish, Beach or Cruise on October 10, 2021 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Sandy do her absolute best to put us on the fish. Even though the fishing wasn’t great she was so fun and so kind to my kiddos. Her boat was even more than I expected. Thank you so much Sandy for taking the time to teach my kiddos something about salt water fishing it was a great day!
