Fantastic fishing charter in Marathon!
4 Hour Afternoon Trip 2pm on June 12, 2026 • 3 adults
We had an absolutely amazing day out on the water with Captain Brian of Ana Banana fishing charters. The boat itself and equipment was in excellent condition. The captain was incredibly kind and helpful with me and my teenage boys. We caught so many fish we almost hit our allowable quota. Probably one of the best charters we’ve ever taken down here. Blueridge runners, yellowtail, and mackerel galore. I can’t recommend Captain Brian enough!! You can be sure that the next time we’re in marathon will be rebooking this charter again.

An Unforgettable Family Fishing Trip with Captain Brian
3 Hour Morning on February 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children
Our family recently took a fishing charter in Marathon, Florida with Captain Brian, and it was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. We primarily booked the trip for our sons, and Brian did an amazing job planning a day that was absolutely perfect for our family.
He was incredibly patient, helpful, and engaging with the boys, making sure they were involved in every part of the experience. From baiting hooks to explaining what we were fishing for, Brian made the trip both exciting and educational. His knowledge of the area and the different fish species was impressive, and he took the time to show the boys the details of each fish we caught and explain what made them unique.
We caught a lot of fish and had an absolute blast! One of the best parts was how easy the whole experience was. We simply showed up, stepped onto the boat, and everything was taken care of equipment, bait, and even the planning of where to fish. It allowed us to relax, enjoy the day, and focus on making great memories together as a family.
Captain Brian’s expertise and passion for what he does really made the trip special. We had such a wonderful time, and I would highly recommend booking a charter with him to anyone visiting Marathon.
We will definitely be scheduling another trip with Brian the next time we’re in town. Thanks again for an unforgettable day on the water!
(Please Note: We caught more fish than are pictured but we threw a bunch back!)
PS - Jeff my husband say Brian is "The Man"!

Capt. Brian hooked us up!
3 Hour Morning on January 3, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children
We took a 3 hour morning trip with our two kids (8 & 11) and they had the best time! Capt. Brian worked his tail off for us. He took us to 4 different places and wouldn't quit until everyone caught multiple fish (even the kids stopped counting)! We caught grouper, mutton, bluefish, mangroves, and grunts. It was an incredible amount of variety and quantity given the limited tome. Capt. Brian was going like crazy with all four of us having rods in the water at the same time, catching fish, and having to replace bait all the time as we missed hits. My husband and I both grew up fishing, but not this kind, and Capt. Brian had a great attitude about our learning curve. He was just the right amount of learning without making it feel like a lesson and he never tried to one-up or get conceited like a lot of professional fishing guides can. The boat was clean and well kept and he had all the equipment ready and it was working beautifully. We kept a bunch and took them down to the Castaway restaurant about a block away from the dock and they cooked them up for us and it was delicious! Highly recommend Capt. Brian and Ana Banana!

best fishing ever!
3 Hour Afternoon Trip 2pm on January 17, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child
Cpt Brian was hands down the best boat captain that we have fished with. He was very friendly, was patient with my kids, and just a complete joy to be around. He worked not stop to make sure everyone was baited up and catching fish. Within the firt 20 minutes of our trip we were on to fish and it was an unforgetable experience! we hauled in over 60 fish in less than 2 hrs with 47 keepers. Best fishing experience we have ever had, and we have been in may charters!
