Book your next trip with Mother Ocean Charters and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Bradenton Beach for more. With Captain Kyle, a Sarasota native with over 20 years fishing expertise, at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
With Mother Oceans "adventures your way" policy you can rest assured that this will be the perfect trip. We can accomodate everybody. For fishing we can run inshore or offshore (up to 9 miles). We can hit the sandbar and cool off. Stop by and check out the dolphins or even watch the sunset. For something different we can even stop and pull some of the captains personal crab traps (seasonal).
During the trip you might be casting, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or for the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.
Young ones are welcome, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, we normally keep a good selection on board. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Your adventure begins aboard a 20' SeaCraft center console with room for 6 passengers (4 on fishing trips). It comes with all the essentials and top of the line electronics including sonar, side scan, bottom scan and Livescope for the best chance of success.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is normally provided depending on the trip.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations. If you do want to keep your catch we will fillet and bag it up.
It's a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. There will be water and some Gatorade provided, but you are welcome to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, we do ask no glass bottles. Cooler space and ice are provided
We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

2 Hour Mini Trip (2:15PM)
We had a great time with our 6 yr old for his first fishing expereince on salt water. The 2hr venture was the perfect amount of time and our little guy caught lots. Kyle was great with him and helped every step of the way. We caught grouper, gaff catfish, jack, mackerel, and trout during our 2 hour outting. Thank You Kyle!

Captain Kyle is awesome. First day took us to see manatees, enjoyed the swimming on the sandbar and lunch at a great dockside restaurant. Day two was an awesome all day fishing trip. The wife caught more fish than anyone but I landed the biggest for the day. He knows how to catch the fish and provides a great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back later this year for another trip!

Captain Kyle provided a fantastic experience. He was very knowledgeable about where to find fish, the types of fish, and the area in general. We had an excellent time. Will definitely be back.
