    Morning half day trip with Captain Nate

    Half day fishing excursion on August 14, 2023 • 4 adults

    I had an absolutely fantastic time with Captain Nate and fishing with my family. Captain Nate was entertaining and knowledgeable about the area, and we really liked the fact that he really cared about this area and the waters around it! Always enjoyable when you hire somebody that absolutely loves their job and wants you to have a fantastic time while they do their job… And we did. We caught a lot of fish,and a large variety of fish, from the moment that the first line hit the water until it was time to go back in. My father-in-law caught the biggest snook that Captain Nate had personally seen pulled out of that area at just under 43 inches! I simply can’t recommend enough a day of fishing with Captain Nate… And I hope we come back to this area soon and are able to go out with him again. Nate, if you are reading this, good luck to you and I hope that I get to go fishing with you again in the future!

    March fishing trip

    Half Day Trip on March 1, 2024 • 6 adults

    Went out March 1st from anna maria island for 4 hour afternoon trip. Boat was sturdy and clean. We wanted to target some good eating fish and Captain Nate did a great job finding the spot for Mangrove Snapper. Put 20+ in the boat. We had them made for us a local restaurant and may be the best fish I ever had. I would highly recommend Captain Nate to anyone looking for great fishing charter!

    Half day fishing excursion on September 18, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Had a great time, very family friendly and the captain was amazing. Captain was great at setting the hook and calling over the little guy to reel it in! Caught plenty of fish, had good conversation and he made recommendations on the area. Will recommend to others and give him a call if we're in the area again.

    Half day trip with Nathan!

    Half day fishing excursion on October 20, 2022 • 2 adults

    This was our first guided trip with captain Nathan and he did not disappoint! He was at the dock right on time this morning! Conditions were far from ideal for fishing with a cold front coming in a day before our trip! We went out with hopes of catching at least one fish not high expectations because of the weather. Nathan went above and beyond and got us on a ton of snook some sea trout and a flounder as well! I’ll be back again year after year and Nathan will be my guide of choice. Even in the toughest conditions this man will do whatever it takes to make sure you’re catching fish, not to mention you never have to bait a hook,my wife loved never having to bait a rod. Extremely personable, knowledgeable and persistent! Thanks captain it was great to meet you and fish with you!

    Fish Tampa Bay with one of the best!

    Half day fishing excursion on July 12, 2024 • 3 adults

    We had an outstanding trip with Nate. He got us out for the early bite. He put us right on snapper and we caught some very nice Tarpon. Fishing with Nate is top notch and I feel if you’re on the Island don’t miss this experience.

5 Stars! Absolutely Epic Fishing Trip! 🎣
Half day fishing excursion on April 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

We had an incredible day on the water with this charter! In just 4 hours, we hooked and landed around 50 fish—non-stop action the entire time! The captain was fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help with tips, rigging, and making sure everyone (including the kids) was having a blast. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. The captain put us on the fish immediately and kept the bites coming all morning. We caught a great mix of species and had plenty of laughs along the way. Everything from the booking process to the end of the trip was smooth and professional. If you’re looking for a fun, productive, and memorable fishing experience in the area, book with these guys—you won’t be disappointed! Highly recommend!
