Hi, I’m Captain Brian of Half Moon Charters.
Come explore the amazing fishing around the Sarasota Bay area on my 24-foot Everglades 243, powered by a 2025 Suzuki 300. She’s capable of fishing the flats and offshore comfortably.  Bring any snacks you want, and I will provide ice-cold water and sport drinks. You can bring beer but no bottles please.
I provide all rods, bait, fishing license, and humor.
I started fishing when I was 6 and this grew into a lifetime problem.
I’ve lived in 5 states, (Florida 3 times), and spent 6 years in the U.S Navy and always found somewhere to fish wherever I am.  I moved to Sarasota 14 years ago and have to say, I love fishing in the Sarasota Bay area! we have some of the best inshore and nearshore fishing around. 

We can target Snook, jacks, snappers, grouper, redfish, sheepshead, pompano, mackerel, speckled trout, cobia and many more species.  Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons.
You can keep fish for dinner, provided it's in season.
I will gladly clean your catch and bag it for you.

I love to have kids on my boat, I’m a patient and knowledgeable teacher and will adjust the trip to suit the needs of my clients. Please let me know how many children, their age and size so I can make sure to have a life vest for everyone.
 
bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray) and a camera.

I will do everything I can to make your day with half Moon the highlight of your vacation.
