Epic 1-Day Fishing on the Ana Banana
10 Hour Trip (AM) on January 28, 20266 adults
We 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.

We 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!!

Epic Day with Ana Banana
10 Hour Trip (AM) on June 18, 20252 adults
My 15 yo son and I went on a 10 hr trip with Captain Joel and First Mate, Eric. They kept us on fish throughout the day. We scratched off some bucket list species and had personal bests on others. We found the boat comfortable - big enough to cut through the moderate sized waves. The crew was genuinely excited with the day as were we. Captain Joel personally got us into a fully booked restaurant to have our catch prepared for us. Highly recommend!

Great Day for my friends and son
8 Hour Trip on April 7, 20266 adults
I had originally booked with Ana Banana, but he called me Monday night to say he had major engine failure the day before. Instead of canceling, he hooked me up with another fisher. that guy, Captain Richard, got my party right on the Black fin Tuna and then got us on for Mahi. Best trip I have every had. Thanks

The 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.
Reported catch:
Hogfish
