3 Hour Trip (Shared) - 11:00 AM on July 4, 20263 adults1 child

We had an amazing fishing trip on the 4th of July! Our group consisted of six people, plus two other guests on board with the captain and first mate. We were looking for a couple of hours on the water, catching fish and making memories, and that’s exactly what we got. The crew was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful from start to finish. They took us to the first fishing spot, and there was never a reason to move because the action was nonstop. Our rods were bent the entire trip! We caught a bunch of ladyfish, while the other guests reeled in two bonnethead sharks and a stingray, which was exciting for everyone to watch. We also had a 10-year-old in our group, and he never got bored for a second because there was always something happening. The only thing I wish was different is that the trip could have lasted longer! If you’re looking for a fun, action-packed fishing charter with an outstanding crew, I highly recommend booking with them. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!

3 Hour Trip (Shared) - 2:00 PM on April 2, 20262 adults3 children

I showed up expecting a normal fishing trip. What I got was a full-blown aquatic apocalypse where I, a mere mortal from Indiana, was crowned King of the Gulf for one glorious, fish-drenched day. Our Cap didn’t just find fish. He summoned them. The crew? Absolute legends. They baited hooks faster than I could open a beer. By the end of the day I was sunburned, covered in fish slime, smelled like low tide and regret, and I have never been happier in my entire life. I left with a cooler so heavy it needed its own zip code and enough fish stories to last me until I’m 95 (or until my wife tells me to shut up, whichever comes first). If you’re even thinking about going fishing in Florida, stop thinking and book this charter immediately. Tell them Brandon from Indiana sent you—the guy who is now legally obligated to rename his first-born child after the Captain.

Great Experience with the Crew
3 Hour Trip (Shared) - 2:00 PM on June 12, 20262 adults5 children

We had an awesome trip with Anna Maria Island Catch Fish Guaranteed! We went out with six kids and two adults, and the guides were great from start to finish. They were patient, helpful, and taught everyone who didn’t know how to fish. They also kept the bait coming and made sure hooks were ready the whole time, which made it easy and fun for the kids. We caught a bunch of fish and everyone had a great time. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a fun fishing trip! Thank you to our Captain and 1st Mate Jake, you are both first class!

Great crew great fishing - caution while scheduling
3 Hour Trip (Shared) - 5:00 PM on April 18, 20262 adults

Had a great time on the boat. Good group of people, the captain was solid, and the crew was genuinely accommodating to newcomers and first timers, which made a real difference for anyone in our group who hadn’t done this before. One note for future customers: the scheduling team tried to move us to an earlier departure to fill spots, and didn’t mention that the bridge to Anna Maria Island can add close to an hour at peak hours. We ended up missing the earlier boat because of that drive time, though to their credit they put us on the evening trip we had originally booked. Captain and boat were great. The administrative scheduling side was the only rough spot. Still recommend them, just plan your drive accordingly.

Good Captain and Crew but find another charter
3 Hour Trip –Private (15 MAX) - 11:00 AM on June 13, 20268 adults

I was led to believe this trip would be on a center console boat with full walk-around capabilities, instead we ended up in a tie-dyed flat bottom head boat. We booked for 11:00 in the morning, got pushed to 1:30 with the story that because we were a private group they wanted to take extra care of us and were going for better tides for fishing. We ended up being pushed back again until 2:00. Our captain and first mate were great and we had a good time with them. they kept the hooks baited with half-shrimp. If they weren’t already dead, they were by the time they were on the hooks. I gave the rating I did because the crew was fun to be with.

Response from Charter operator

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed our captain and crew. We would like to clarify a few points for future guests. U.S. Coast Guard-inspected vessels that carry larger groups are very different from six-passenger center console boats & the description clearly states that. Center consoles are generally limited to six passengers under federal regulations, while our inspected vessel is specifically designed, certified, and equipped to safely accommodate larger groups at an affordable price. At around $60 per person for a 2.5–3 hour guided fishing trip, scenic cruise, and island experience, we believe it offers exceptional value. Our colorful vessel has become something of a local icon. She has been featured in both Anchorman and The Walking Dead and, more importantly, has spent years doing exactly what she was built to do. Her shallow draft allows us to access areas around Anna Maria Island that many deeper V-hull boats simply cannot reach. As for the bait, live shrimp can be difficult to obtain and keep alive during the summer months when water temperatures are in the 90s. Frozen shrimp is the industry standard this time of year and is still highly effective for catching the species our trips target. We do apologize for the delayed departure. Tide conditions are one of the most important factors in providing the best fishing experience possible, and our goal was to put your group in the best position for success. We’re happy you had a great time with our crew and appreciate you recognizing their hard work. We hope the fish you caught and the memories made were awesome!
