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.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)

A great day of fishing

VERIFIED

Kyle, our captain, was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We were a family of young children and he offered plenty of patience with our kids lines getting tangled and baits being lost. We ended up catching several different types of fish and created many great memories for our kids. I highly recommend.

Kyle was great!

We had a wonderful Mother's Day morning out on the water with Kyle. My wife and I fish regularly but we had our three kids (11, 9, and almost 4) this trip and they all had a great experience. He was patient and we all had a wonderful half day. We would recommend Kyle to anyone.
