David Lish5.0VerifiedMade Great Memories
6 Hour Trip on July 21, 2026 • 6 adultsWe enjoyed our fishing experience thr Ana Banana crew. This was our first time fishing in the ocean so we went with the reef/wreck option. We caught lots of fish. The crew was helpful and easy to work with. Aside from lots of snapper, we also reeled in a barracuda and a shark! My kids and I loved it!
Michael RubensteinRepeat angler4.7VerifiedMahi slayer!
8 Hour Trip on July 8, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWent for an offshore trip and absolutely crushed the mahi. All keepers - probably a dozen maybe more. Captain Joel and first mate Roger did an amazing job keeping the boat steady in pretty decent seas and kept us on the fish all day. Will definitely return
Scott FanoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWindy Day Slam
6 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on April 3, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe came to fish! 20knot winds had 4 charters cancelled…. Ana Banna said “LETS GOOO” We are leaving today with a pile for the freezer. Joel and Shawn were everything you would hope for a Charter Capt. and Mate. I think we hooked into just about every species in the gulf. Had a blast!!
Todd Muhlfelder4.7Verifiedwe had a blast

8 Hour Trip on July 26, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 childI cannot express my gratitude for how well our charter went all four of my teenagers and myself had a great time Captain and first mate really went above and beyond. We caught more fish than we thought was possible we were able to take them to a restaurant right after charter and have them cooked, which was a huge bonus and recommended by captain!
Andrew Brown5.0VerifiedMade all the right calls!!!
6 Hour Trip on May 27, 2025 • 3 adultsCaptain Joel is a very experienced captain, knows how to drive his boat and make calls about when to fish and what to fish......he literally hunts them down!!!!
Steven Waldner5.0VerifiedEpic 1-Day Fishing on the Ana Banana
10 Hour Trip (AM) on January 28, 2026 • 6 adultsWe spent a full-day charter aboard the remodeled 40' Luhrs Express out of Marathon and had an outstanding trip. Captain Joel and his mates used live bait and state-of-the-art gear to keep us on fish, and their no-fish–no-pay policy gave us great confidence. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped — walk-in head, fighting chair, and plenty of cover from the wind — and the crew cleaned and bagged our catch at the dock. Friendly, professional, and highly recommended for anglers and families looking for a productive, comfortable day on the water.
Bruce Jewett5.0VerifiedFamily fishing trip
6 Hour Trip on December 29, 2025 • 6 adultsThe Captain and Mate both were very experienced. The boat was well equipped. The mate was very helpful with batting hooks and landing fish. We caught more than 50 fish , ten different species and they did a great job of cleaning the fish and packaging them for us at the dock.
Douglas JenkinsRepeat angler5.0Verifiedgreat job
