Full Boat Charters is a full-time fishing charter business located in Bradenton, Florida. Their specialty is providing kids fishing trips. Captain Brook Wallace has over forty years of experience navigating and fishing the entire Tampa Bay region and has all licenses and insurance needed. He has thousands of happy clients as we have been running private trips for up to six people since 2005.

These trips are operated from a private seaside property where guests may park for free and not worry about their cars. The main service area includes Bradenton, Sarasota, Palmetto, Anna Maria Island, and Longboat Key, FL. This is a 30-55 minute drive from Tampa, St. Petersburg, Brandon, Venice, or Englewood.
Captain Brook provides mainly inshore and bay fishing for all species. Your main targets for the day will be Snook, Redfish, Trout, Cobia, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, and Tarpon, to name a few.
Your captain covers all equipment and fishing licenses. He’ll also clean your catch after the trip. You need to pack your snacks and drinks for the day.

Best Fishing trip
Brook was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about where to catch fish as well as pointing out the various locations and history of the area. The new shade cover protected us from a lot of the sun. Making it very comfortable. My husband and I booked the trip with our four grandkids ages 9 - 16. With such a large age range, he connected with all of them making sure that they could catch a fish. Everyone caught several types of fish. Then he would explain the about the type of fish. He asks questions prior to the trip to make sure he knows what you want to do and then delivers that. He is an extremely nice and knowledgeable Captain. I would definitely book another trip. The kids had a blast.

Easy, Fun, Great communication, Great fishing setup for kids and families
Brook was extremely good at communicating with us leading up to the day we went out fishing. He had a good game plan and was really working hard to get the best tide conditions and overall best fishing opportunities for us. We had a good time catching some trout and snook. Brook did a great job keeping the mood light and fun, especially for our 2 boys. He knows a lot about the area so it was fun to hear him talk about the area history. We'll definitely look to book with him again when we're down in Bradenton.

Fun time!
We had a fun day on Captain Brook’s boat. Despite the heat of July, we still managed to catch a fair amount of fish. The boat is absolutely wonderful and is quite nice for those who want to go along but not participate in the fishing. Captain is great with communication prior to our arrival. We appreciated that he already had bait before we set out, so finding it wasn’t part of our paid time. Fun time!

Great Fishing with Captain Brook!
We had a great time and excellent fishing with captain Brook! We had constant action on giant trout. We even mixed in a great fighting stingray! Brook had great equipment, a ton of fresh bait, and worked hard to keep us on the bite all day. I would highly recommend spending the day on the water with captain Brook. He did a great job and was very accommodating with the kids!
