    by far best charter captain to date

    4 Hour Trip on July 13, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our fishing trip with Aqua Delights was one of the highlights of our vacation on Anna Maria Island! Captain Mason was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we left the dock. He knew exactly where to find the fish, kept us on the action, and was always patient and encouraging, whether you were an experienced angler or fishing for the first time. He took care of everything, explained what we were catching, and made sure we had an amazing experience. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and the entire trip was relaxed, fun, and memorable. We caught plenty of fish and made memories that we’ll be talking about for years. If you’re looking for a fishing charter on Anna Maria Island, I highly recommend Aqua Delights. We can’t wait to come back and book another trip!

    Amazing time on the water.

    6 Hour Trip on March 22, 2026 • 3 adults

    Came down from Alaska, wanting to try some warmer water fishing. Kept my expectations low, coming from an area with world class fishing, but was pleasantly surprised! Capt Mason did not disappoint! Very knowledgeable, quick on the assist, good spots, good experience, overall a blast. Every trip you always run the risk of getting skunked, but this guy put in the work to make sure that didnt happen, and we landed some big boys. 10/10 would recommend.

    Solid Trip.

    6 Hour Trip on June 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Mason had me on my target fish from the first stop. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. You wont find a guy willing to work harder for you and give you better opportunities to catch fish. Will definitely be calling him next time I am in town.

    This one’s a keeper!

    4 Hour Trip on March 31, 2026 • 5 adults

    Mason put us on fish the first cast! After we hit our limit of trout he took us to catch other species. Mason did a great job of keeping us all fishing throught the trip. At one of our stops he was quick to move on once he recognized we were not likely to catch anything there. His attention to detail and good nature makes him suited for any age group. We will be back!

    4 Hour Trip on December 27, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time on our fishing trip. Mason was amazing, took us out and the fish immediately starting biting, at one point he couldn’t keep up with baiting our rods. He taught us how to reel in the fish, and talked about each kind we caught. I highly recommend Mason and Aqua Delights. We will be booking with him again in the near future.

    Top Tier Charter Captain

    6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on February 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Mason did an incredible job. I highly recommend the 6 hour trip. We caught so many fish and he knew the best spots! Mason is super laid back and a great guy. He is truly out in his element when on the ocean. couldnt have asked for a better experience fishing near shore, about 4-7 miles out.

    Unbelievable day!!!

    6 Hour Trip on March 14, 2026 • 3 adults

    Mason was outstanding. Were into fish from the first cast. Limited trout in 40 minutes. Crushed snook for several hours then the grand finale with redfish schools and boiling water. Highlight was the three of us hooked on to big reds all at the same time! Highly recommend Mason!

4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on April 3, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Mason was outstanding from start to finish. He had us on fish almost immediately and kept the action going at every spot we visited. His knowledge of the area and fishing patterns was clear, and he worked hard the entire time to make sure we had a great experience. We ended up catching multiple species, which made the trip even more memorable. I’d highly recommend Captain Mason to anyone looking for a fun, productive day on the water.
