There’s a fish with your name on it in Sarasota and Siesta Key Fishing Charters will help you catch it! With Captain Mark at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Yellowtail Snapper, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, Amberjack, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

Siesta Key Fishing Charters is a child-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 31’ Mako Center console with room for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

My wife and I have been charter fishing for about 6 years in the Sarasota area so we are familiar with the experience and typically always have fun and catch lots of fish. What made this trip FANTASTIC was the great experience we had with Capt. Mark! I brought my nieces and nephews who are visiting and never had fished before. He was very accommodating and taught them how to fish. His boat was also nice and spacious with plenty of cushion seating...and fast! Great times and great music...Many thanks to Captain Mark!
