If you're ready to love fishing in Anna Maria Island, look no further – you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Jack Crevalle, Cobia, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Flounder, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Bonnethead Shark, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself!

On these trips, it’s common to use light tackle.

Trips are kid-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.

Your trip begins aboard a 21' center console with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Come aboard, enjoy the day on the water, and see what’s biting around Anna Maria Island!

Family fun, highly recommend
on July 29, 2026

If you’re looking for fun in the sun, a ride on the boat with some fishing or just to get out of the house, I highly recommend this fishing guide. Thomas is not only a knowledgeable, friendly, fun person but he wants to make sure your experience is the best one out there! He knows just about everything about fishing, the ocean and all the local wildlife. He made our family feel extremely safe and taken care of on the ocean. We made a lot of memories on this trip and will be coming back for this guide specifically. Can’t thank him enough for such a fun trip for the whole family!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
