Ana Banana Fishing Company guarantees a fun and exciting day out for any guest who comes. Captain Joel and his family are all fishing enthusiasts who will definitely show you a good time and put you on great fish. Captain Joel has been on the water for 35 years and has won many fishing tournaments.

The boat is a 38’ Fountain which was built in 2010 and is powered by three 300HP Evinrude motors. It is a fast and reliable vessel to take you on your fishing adventure. The boat features a Fishfinder which is essential for locating premium fishing spots, GPS, VHF radio, and a Radar, so you can feel at ease no matter how far offshore you travel.

Since Ana Banana Fishing Company are such fish-fanatics and are thoroughly familiar with the waters of Florida, they will be able to point you to the best species available in season. On your inshore and nearshore trips you will be able to catch the famous Red Snapper (if in season), Snook, and a variety of Grouper. You’ll also have the chance to catch Jack Crevalle, King and Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout, and Shark.

All the fishing gear is provided; the bait is caught on the morning of your fishing excursion and the crew are equipped with various fishing techniques they can also teach you. So, don’t miss to leave a tip for the first mate - he works for tips and gives his best to help you!

Now all you have to do is find a trip to your liking, block out a day in the captain’s calendar, get your group together, and enjoy your next adventure on the water!

Had a great time!

1/2 day trip on March 25, 2024 • 3 adults

Big thanks guys! We had a great time and it was blast! You were both very professional and knew how to get us set up and still have a great time and it made for a fun day! I looked at my watch and we were already 3 hours in, time flew much too quickly, thanks for getting us on a bunch of fish and we will definitely look you up if we get back.

1/2 day trip on June 11, 2021 • 6 adults

The boat we originally booked was sold, so we got on a bigger and better boat. Everything was ready upon arrival and we started our trip right away. The captain and first mate were friendly and knowledgeable. Our group was welcomed to the top story and even got a little time at the wheel. You can’t beat the views and the feel of the wind in your face. We got to choose the music and the sound system was great. There was even a bathroom and an air conditioned cabin. (The waves were intense so consider bringing Dramamine.) The captain put us right on a school of yellow tail snapper. Everyone was catching hand over fist! Our first mate and captain helped make sure everyone had bait, hooks, and took the fish off the lines. They were very patient and eager to please. Once we caught our limit, we even got to jump in the water for a quick cool down. Then, we changed course for Mahi mahi. Unfortunately, we just couldn’t find them so we headed back for the dock. Our only problem was that the next charter was already at the dock and ready to start as soon as our trip ended (noon). This meant that the crew didn’t have time to clean our fish until they finished with this next tour. That would mean our fish wouldn’t be cleaned until after 8pm but we planned to cook it for dinner. Soooooooooo...our group had to clean our own fish. Luckily, our guys have experience cleaning fish, but you might need to be sure to schedule time for cleaning. CHICKEN WING is the best!!!

Sunset fishing 4hrs

Sunset Fishing on January 25, 2022 • 2 adults

We had a great time fishing with Capt Joel and 1st Mate Ed. We caught our limit of Yellowtail Snapper, plus some Mackerel, a Rainbow Runner, and a big out of season Grouper that we released. The guys were very laid back but professional. They make it look easy like only years of experience can. 5 stars!

Sunset Fishing, on 42' See Vee

Sunset Fishing on May 18, 2022 • 2 adults

We were switched to a 42 foot See Vee from the 38 Fountain due to mechanical issues, however we had a great time anyway. Caught in excess of 30 Mahi, about half were too small and had to be thrown back. Even still, it was a very successful trip.

Offshore High Seas

3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on October 17, 2020 • 2 adults

Was worried the weather would keep us from going, but multi-generation Charter Captain Joel, said we would be fine. He was right, boat took the high seas well and we caught a cooler full of Tuna. My girlfriends first offshore fishing trip and she is already asking when we can come back. You will have no issues catching fish on this boat. First Mate Chris was very patient with my girl, and she got the hang of it real quick. Must book this boat if you are in the Keys and wanting to fish.
