Join Seafood Charters for the unique opportunity to enjoy the excitement of recreational fishing from the angle of a commercial fisherman. Captain Keith McGlade runs trips out of Bradenton Beach, with a special focus on offshore and deep-sea fishing.

Starting out in 2007 as a commercial fisherman, Capt. Keith expanded his career on the water to charter fishing in 2011. As well as running charters, he still fishes commercially for stone crab and mullet in season.

You'll be fishing aboard a 34' Calypso boat, well equipped for a fun charter trip. It was recently restored and features a VMS, GPS, a spot-lock trolling motor, and dual fishfinders, as well as ample storage for live bait and the full range of necessary first aid equipment. The boat is powered by twin 250 HP Suzuki four-stroke engines, so you can make the most of your time on the water.

All the fishing tackle, bait, and lures you will need during your trip are included in the price of the charter. Fishing licenses will also be supplied for everyone on board. Capt. Keith will clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day, so you can take it home straight to the table.

Offshore trips are Capt. Keith's specialty, and benefit greatly from his experience spearfishing commercially as a scuba diver and free diver. Having spent countless hours exploring the ledges, reefs, and wrecks that he fishes, Capt. Keith has superior knowledge of what lies beneath him every time he drops his line. These trips could involve fishing for a variety of species including Snapper, Grouper, King Mackerel, Cobia, and Spanish Mackerel, depending on the season and conditions.

Explore some of the most productive waters with Seafood Charters and have a memorable fishing adventure!

    Great fishing trip.

    Red Snapper – Up to 6 People on June 16, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Keith was amazing. He took us to several different spots and each produced keepers. We caught Ref Snappers, Grouper, and Lane Snappers. Exactly what we were looking for, minus the sharks… definitely would do it again…

    We quickly hit our Grouper limit! Tons of action!

    8 Hour Trip – Up to 6 People on January 1, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an amazing day with Captain Keith. We got our limit of Grouper and countless Lane snapper. Once we filled the ice chest we switched gears and went after Barracuda and had a great success. Would highly recommend the 8 hour charter with Captain Keith. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

    Outstanding grouper/snapper for trip

    8 Hour Trip – Up to 6 People on June 6, 2025 • 1 adult

    Took the 8 hr trip from grouper and snapper. It’s a two hour boat ride to get to 150 ft of water (and back). At the first spot, had four 18-22” red snapper within ten minutes. Next spot produced three red grouper in the 22-26” range in thirty minutes. Captain Keith has a nice sized boat that has plenty of room for up to six fishermen. He also has a GPS trolling motor which allowed us to not have to use an anchor. This saves LOTS OF TIME and makes it easy to move spots if the fishing slows down or the sharks show up. He also cleans all the fish. He is kind and gracious, he gives you helpful hints without doing everything for you. Will definitely go with him again.

    Fun Experience

    6 Hour Trip – Up to 6 People on February 21, 2026 • 6 adults

    Fun experience with Captain Keith. A group of 5 took a 6 hour charter that took us our 35 miles out into the Gulf. We caught 3 Red Grouper, only one was a keeper. Captain Keith put us on some amberjack. WOW!! Fun but not in season so no keepers. Next time we will wait for warmer water to hopefully bring home more fish.

    8 hour trip with Keith

    8 Hour Trip – Up to 6 People on July 17, 2023 • 6 adults

    Had a great trip. This will be detailed for fellow fishermen. We went out 7/17/23 for an 8 hr trip. Specifically targeting grouper. Waves were 1-2 foot. The 34 foot boat is equipped with cushioned seats and the ride was quite smooth. Two hour trip southwest to get to 140 ft deep water. Captain Keith put us immediately on fish. He uses a GPS trolling motor which holds the boat in position … meaning no anchor. This saves SOOOOOO much time. We used large 5-6 inch squid chunks and live bait that Keith cast netted in the morning. We caught rod bending red grouper - 20-25 lbs. Three red snapper in the 28”, 15 lb range. I personally caught ~15 red grouper, 3 keepers, and 5-7 red snapper. 1 large mangrove 18-20 inches) and 3-4 vermillion snapper. If the bite died down in 10-15 minutes, we moved 5-10 min to another spot. The GPS trolling motor made it easy to run and gun, while staying on top of the spot. I’ve been with other captains who only let you have 1-2 lines in the water at a time, or who will hold the line until you have a bite. Captain Keith had all 5 of us with rods in the water, holding them ourselves. He gave great advice and tips but did not take the rod, set the hook, then give the rod back to you. Rather, he let us do everything. THIS WAS AWESOME!!! Three days later, my right bicep/arm can still feel the burn from pulling those big grouper up. Keith cleaned the fish with plain knives - conserved the meat better than electric knives. He provided cold water on ice. We brought sandwiches and snacks ourselves. He also has a bucket portapotty with a toilet seat for the ladies. This was much appreciated. We’ve been eating the fish most nights of our week long vacation at Anna Maria Island. We met Captain Keith 5 minutes from our rental, so the 7 am start was easy. The 8 hour trip is a bit more expensive but we’ve created memories of a lifetime. The pictures prove the fish tails (sic) are real. Hope this detailed review helps.

6 Hour Trip – Up to 6 People on July 14, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Keith was awesome! Great with kids, 9- and 10-year-old boys, with your typical attention span. He kept the fish coming and the boys loved it. Highly recommended and the comfort of being on a 34' boat with twin engines when running out 20 miles gives you a peace of mind. 10 out 10 would do it again! The six-hour trip time was perfect!
