Kokomo Charters – Kai Fin 42' Yellowfin
Kokomo Charters is here to show you the stunning waters of Sarasota. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Rob knows them forwards and back. Kai Fin is our exceptional 45' Yellowfin set up for serious offshore action—fast, stable, and purpose-built. The vessel has Federal Reef and Pelagic fishing permits.

Excellent day! Brett and Dave know how to catch fish! They both worked very hard keep us busy and on the fish. We got a 46” Cobia in the boat that my family and I never could have done without the knowlwdge and strength of Brett and Dave. The highlight was watching these two work together to bring the fish in and the excitement after the trophy Cobia was in the boat. The boat is perfect and comfortable for 6 fishermen. Lots of room to spread out. We hooked several fish, landed several Mangrove Snapper, some keeper grouper, mahi. Would difinetly book this boat again as long as Brett and Dave come with! Dave is strong 😀🤙🏼
Thank you so much for the incredible review! Congratulations again on that trophy Cobia—that’s a fish you’ll be talking about for years! 🎣 We’re thrilled Captain Brett and Dave made the day so memorable and kept everyone on the fish. They work incredibly hard, and it’s great to hear their teamwork and experience helped make your trip such a success. We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you and your family back aboard the Kai Fin for another unforgettable day on the water! Thanks again for choosing Kokomo Charters!
Our family had a great day fishing with Captain Brett and Pat. They put us on fish the whole day. Also very cool guys and incredibly knowledgeable about their trade. The boat was also awesome so that’s a plus. 100% would charter with these guys again.
Our family had an amazing time. Brett was amazing and fun. He went above and beyond to make sure our fishing trip was amazing. The boat was clean and comfortable. Would definitely book with them again in the future.
