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!

3/4 Day Trip
Crew was awesome, day was beautiful, and fishing was incredible!! Such a great experience. We caught so many fish and had a lot of fun doing so! Joel and Todd are friendly, very knowledgeable, and VERY good at helping you catch fish after fish after fish. Loved our trip and cannot wait to come back down next year and fish with them again!

Full Day Trip – Offshore
With the coldest front of the year barreling towards south Florida there was a very small window of opportunity to make the most of the day. The Anna Banana crew delivered while covering over 150 miles there where double /triple hook ups. First mate Eddie was on it ;always attending to your every need and adjusting to the conditions. Captain Brandenburg’s experience and equipment are send to none which was key in creating a memorable birthday for my son. A huge thank you to the Anna Banana crew for creating a great experience for myself and family.
