Voted the #1 charter service on Sarasota Bay, Fish Ami Fishing Charters offers unbeatable prices and an exceptional fishing experience. Captain David M., a Sarasota native with over 20 years of local fishing expertise, leads our professional guides who fish these waters daily. With their knowledge and passion, you’re guaranteed to be on the best bite every time. We proudly offer a catch guarantee to make your trip worry-free and rewarding.

The rich waters of Sarasota Bay are teeming with Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Snook, Sharks, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, King Mackerel, Key West Grunts, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, and many more. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, you’ll find yourself with tight lines and thrilling action.

Families are welcome aboard, with child-sized life vests available for safety and comfort. Feel free to bring snacks to keep your energy up throughout the trip. Your journey begins aboard a top-of-the-line 24-foot Godfrey pontoon or a 24-foot Pathfinder, both fully equipped to comfortably accommodate up to six passengers. The boats come loaded with all the essentials for an exciting day on the water.

Captain David supplies all rods, reels, lures, and live bait, along with a YETI cooler stocked with ice and water. Your fishing license is covered, so you can come aboard hassle-free. When it’s time to head in, your captain will expertly fillet and bag your catch. Please note that depending on the trip or regulations, some fish may need to be released; your captain will guide you through all fishing rules to ensure a responsible and enjoyable experience.

For your comfort, bring sunglasses and non-spray sunscreen. Drinks are provided, and moderate alcohol consumption is allowed, though hard liquor and glass bottles should be avoided. Treat yourself to a memorable day on the water with Fish Ami Sarasota—the island’s top-rated charter service. We look forward to welcoming you at the dock.

Captain Dave was awesome! We went out to the 20 mile buoy and found a big school of mahi mahi. 13 catches later and we were set for dinner! We had an excellent time and would definitely charter with Fish Ami again!

Brand new equipment super knowledgeable captain!

I would highly recommend requesting captain Kyle to take you out and get you on the fish right away! He was extremely patient with all 3 kids and made sure each kid had a memorable experience and everyone had the opportunity to reel something in! 10/10 experience will be requesting captain Kyle again next time we book!! .
