Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.

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 accommodate everybody. For fishing we can drift the flats or go up next and cast to mangrove shorelines or docks. 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).

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!

Great day on the water!
4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on April 2, 20263 adults1 child
Captain Kyle asked us what our goals were for the day and he did just what we asked for. We wanted to try for some big fish first and then some quality fish to take back for supper. We started out with fish on within minutes of putting the trolling motor in the water. We fished for a variety of fish and ended up landing some Snook, Redfish, Jack, and Trout. Captain Kyle was very knowledgeable and a great guide especially answering all my 10 year old son’s questions.

4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on March 19, 20264 adults
We had such a great day out on the water! The conditions were calm—perfect for fishing—and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Captain Kyle was incredibly attentive throughout the trip, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had what we needed. His knowledge and easygoing personality really made the day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-guided fishing adventure!

Good trip
4 Hour Trip on March 30, 20262 adults
My wife and I booked a 4 hour trip and had a great time. The fishing was a little slow but that's why they call it fishing and not catching. Kyle did a great job moving us around looking for fish. We did get to one spot that produced very well, a lot of nice snook but nothing quite in the slot limit range of 28"- 32" but close! Lots of fun 😁 I highly recommend Kyle and Mother Ocean Charters.
