Best Coast Fishing Charters is located in Sarasota, the "Best" coast of Florida, and strives to show you a memorable time full of perfect fishery!
With his vast expertise, Captain Dalton will get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like light tackle, trolling, and fly fishing, based on the species you’re targeting. You’ll be mainly fishing for the likes of Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, Red Grouper, Jack Crevalle, and Redfish, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.
Your adventure begins on board a 23’ Ranger boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with an ice box and a wireless trolling motor.
You’ll also find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. You’re also more than welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.
Up for a family trip? The little ones are more than welcome on board for an unforgettable kid-friendly experience!
Don’t hesitate, and book your trip now and hit the water with Best Coast Fishing Charters!

Captain Josh was great, and I have recommended him to others. He was a very knowledgeable and patient guide. The charter was perfect for kids. We all landed fish and had a great time.

Josh was great and I would highly recommend booking his charter. There are a few reasons for my recommendation. First, he suggested we reschedule our original planned trip because the weather was terrible. I sincerely appreciated that because it was going to be my sons first time fishing (5 years old) and I wanted him to enjoy the time on the water. If we had gone during our original scheduled time, it would have been awful so having Josh recommend we reschedule (since we could) put my mind at ease. When we were able to go out a few days later, we had a blast and caught a lot of fish (18 total)! My son loved it and can't wait to go out again. Josh took care of everything related to the fishing from putting bait on, to removing fish off the hook and eventually cleaning the fish (which he also did an excellent job at). We will be booking with Josh in the future if we are in the Sarasota area again and are looking for a charter!

My friends and I booked this trip super last minute and we weren’t sure if it was going to work out, but it did! I was connected with dalton who sent over all the information we needed/where to meet/etc. The trip was a blast, I never really had gone fishing on a boat and Dalton was super helpful. We ended catching a real big fish at the end and we got to come home and eat it! So much fun- would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our morning on the water with Dalton. We started out on the reef and caught all the fish we could handle. As things quieted down, we tried the Pass and the ICW. I am sure the fish we caught will taste great tonight!
