Take a ride with Captain Joel of Ana Banana Fishing Company in a warm and family oriented atmosphere, and you will learn not just about the fish you are catching, but you will also hear great stories from the many tournaments he has won and the huge number of good causes he supports and participates in.

Stepping aboard Captain Joel's glamorous 50 ft Bertram boat, you will be in for the fishing adventure of a lifetime. The boat was fully restored in 2017 in order to provide you with the very best fishing and cruising experience. Not only is it fitted with all the essentials for serious big game fishing, such as a fighting chair, outriggers, downriggers, and top of the range electronics, it also features an air conditioned interior with two staterooms and a bathroom, as well as Wi-Fi and a TV.

During your offshore adventure, you will be able to try reef fishing as well as trolling (depending on the length of your trip), with potential target species including many varieties of Snapper and Grouper, as well as Kingfish, Wahoo, Barracuda, Cobia, Mahi Mahi and Sailfish.

You are welcome to take home any fish you catch - as long as they are legal to keep, of course - and the captain will even clean, fillet, and cook your catch at the end of the trip. All the equipment you need for a fun day on the water is provided, so all you need to bring is any snacks and drinks you would like to consume along the way. In the end of the day, don't miss to leave a tip for his First mate - he works for tips and gives his best to help you!

Get on the boat and get on the fish with a great captain and crew!!
10 Hour Trip – Marathon Humps on March 27, 20262 adults

Joel and Shawn were epic - it was rough day, but they got us on the fish and did a great job including us in the process. We jointly discussed strategy, location, and worked as a team the entire day. They are very relaxed and positive; really a breath of fresh air in the charter industry. Grab breakfast from the Cuban joint right near the entrance to the marina - a great way to start the day. 10/10 experience!

Beautiful Mahi!
Full Day Trip – Offshore on July 22, 20266 adults

First fish pulled in was a beautiful bull mahi mahi. Ended the day with plenty of fresh fish to enjoy during our time in the Keys. We look forward to fishing with them the next time we are in Marathon!

As good as it gets!
Half Day Trip on June 23, 20263 adults3 children

Captain Joel and his mate, Sean, were amazing w/ my kids, fiancé and mom. We limited out on Snapper and had extra time to stop at a tiny island for swimming and exploring. The kids even caught a shark (and lost their minds). He’s a top notch Captain, and we’ll book again. Thank you!

Captain Joel is on the water 300 days per year, and he loves every minute of it. This very experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He's a native of Florida and has traveled the world over for fish. He used to be in the death care industry for almost 20 years and focused on childhood grief issues and grief counseling. He's also a co-creator of two published kids' books. Captain Joel loves acquainting his guests with the most epic fish, which he believes are exactly where he is from – the Gulf of America and Atlantic Ocean!
