Make some memories and go fishing with Tiki Bay Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain John knows them forwards and back.
Our home port is 217 Magellan Dr. Sarasota, Fl. However, we can offer pick up based on your location. for Siesta Key we pick up at Nora Patterson Park. for Bradenton Beach/ AMI we pick up at The Bradenton Beach Pier.
Before choosing your length of trip please consider that there will be travel time to fishing spots based on conditions and the bite. Allow ample time to hunt down the fish.
You're likely to go after Snook, Spotted Sea trout, Red Drum, Cobia, Flounder, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Hogfish, Atlantic Mackerel, Sheepshead, Lane Snapper, and more, depending on the season.
You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. John also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And you can't go wrong with snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Capt. John operates a 26' Pathfinder center console that holds up to 4 passengers, or 24' Privateer that holds 6 passengers with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. John will provide rods and reels and bait.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Some essentials to bring are bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

We had an incredible time on this fishing charter! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew was friendly, professional, and made us feel right at home. They were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. The boat was clean and well-maintained, the equipment was excellent, and the entire trip was smooth and enjoyable. We caught some great fish, but the beautiful scenery, great company, and excitement on the water made the day truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a fun, professional, and memorable fishing experience, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be coming back for another trip

Thank you for the kimd words! uiu guys were great to have aboard for the day. lets do it again soon.
Captain John and Captain Brian were excellent. i had my 6 y/o son on his first 6hr charter and they made sure he had a great time. His hooks were always baited and they helped him reel in many fish inckuding a large grouper. We are avid Florida fishermen so our expectations are always high, and this crew had us on fish all day. The new 26’ pathfinder was immaculate and got us to and from the spots quickly and comfortably. We will be back to chase more big fiah with John and Brian. if you want true local knowledge and great company, book this crew.

you guys were great to have on board! your son fishes better than many adults i have had on board. lets do it again soon.
John is a great captain. I have fished all over the world and would 100% go fishing with him again very knowledgeable. Put us on the fish was very patient with myself. My wife and my daughter we love the trip had some bad weather had to reschedule, but he was very flexible with what we wanted to do and helped out tremendously.. at the end of the trip we wanted to keep some fish to take back to the Airbnb. He filleted them for us, explained to us how to cook them and they ended up being great, overall top notch guide.. thank you so much for making this trip so memorable for myself and my daughter and my wife.

you guys were great to have aboard, lets donit again soon.
What a morning we had !! Our trip was just after a storm that stirred things up, even the fish. In spite of that, Capt John found us a place where we caught some fish. (I caught the biggest one!!) Capt John was incredibly helpful in keeping our lines baited and in the water. Also, If you should have a mobility issue, this is the charter to pick. I enjoy when things I do are first-class. Capt John and his charter easily earned that title.

Thank you for the kind words, you and your family are great, you are welcome anytime.

Our experience with Tiki Bay Charters, LLC was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped on board, it was clear that this wasn’t just a standard boat rental—it was a curated experience. Why We Loved It: Personalized Attention: The level of care we received was incredible. The crew went out of their way to make sure every member of my family, from the kids to the adults, felt comfortable and catered to. It felt like we were out on the water with a long-time friend rather than a charter service. Relaxed Atmosphere: The "Tiki" vibe is real! The boat was immaculate, well-equipped, and provided the perfect backdrop for some much-needed family bonding. Expert Knowledge: Our captain didn't just drive; they shared great local insights and found the perfect spots for us to anchor and enjoy the view away from the crowds. Seamless Experience: From booking to docking, everything was professional, easy, and stress-free. If you’re looking for a charter that prioritizes connection and quality time over a "one-size-fits-all" tour, Tiki Bay Charters is the way to go. We left with the biggest smiles and some of our favorite family memories to date. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you and your family for entrusting us with your vacation experience. we would love to have you back!
