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!

    Quick and dirty run

    Full Day Trip – Offshore on January 28, 2022 • 6 adults

    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.

    Half day trip with Captain Joel

    Half Day Trip on June 13, 2021 • 4 adults

    This was our first time taking our children on a charter fishing trip. It could not have gone better! Captain Joel was super eager to help the kids not only fish but also learn about the nature that surrounded us. His mates were really helpful and did a great job. Having a cabin with a bathroom and air conditioning was a huge plus. We caught a ton of yellowtail snapper and had a blast! We will definitely use Ana Banana again.

Captain Joel is on the water 300 days a year, and he loves every minute of it. This highly experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He is a Florida native who has traveled the world in pursuit of fish. He previously worked in the death care industry for almost 20 years, focusing on childhood grief and grief counseling. He is also the co-creator of two published children's books. Captain Joel loves introducing his guests to the most epic fish, which he believes can be found right where he is from: The Gulf of America and the Atlantic Ocean!
