Amazing!
3 in 1 (Fishing, Wildlife, Sandbar) on April 7, 20254 adults2 children

It was so much fun! We had our 3 year old son and 18 month old daughter with us and they loved it! My son got to catch the biggest fish, and my daughter loved the boat. We got to look for shark teeth and shells on the beach too! We will definitely be going back!

4hr - Sarasota Inshore Fishing Trip on April 3, 20244 adults1 child

We booked a fishing trip and due to bad weather we contacted Captain Casey and he was wonderful about rescheduling our trip. Casey was well prepared, organized, and so knowledgeable! We fished with two seniors and two teenagers. Casey was friendly and went out of his way to make our trip a fun memory.

8 Hour trip
8hr - Sarasota Inshore Fishing Trip on July 12, 20214 adults

This was a very enjoyable day in the Bay. I took my three son's out with me and we caught ~ 60-70 fish from Red Snapper, Snook, Grouper, Spanish Mackrel, probably about 9 different species. Capt. Casey is a very knowledgeable and dedicated guide. He was explaining to us why we were fishing in certain spots. The most exciting part of the trip for me was when my hooked into a 7lb Red Fish! Thanks for a great day on the water. Doug Pelfrey OH- IO

Fishing Trip (6hr)
3/4 Day - Fishing Comfortably on September 9, 20206 adults

Super fun and exciting trip. You'll get to fish for snapper, snook, redfish, spanish mackerel and others. On our trip we were able to catch and keep about 15 snapper and one nice spanish mackerel. Captain Casey is super nice and chill. You can tell he knows a lot about fishing and will help you attached your bait and cast out the fishing rod. Also, he knows where the good fishing spots are. The boat is really comfortable and has two fishing chairs. Ideal for 3 to 4 people fishing at a time, but 6 will fit comfortably (runs a 115HP Yamaha outboard motor). From beginner to expert, you'll have a great time.

I am Capt. Casey Maloney and I was born and raised here in Sarasota. Exploring these clear blue waters has always been a way of life for me. At 7 days old my parents took me on my first boat ride on their 23' sailboat, which fostered a deep connection to the ocean and Sarasota Bay. I am blessed to be able to fish everyday.
