Captain Taylor kept my son and I on the fish all day while openly sharing his knowledge. He showed us how to fish a variety of locations. We saw more sea life than a day at the aquarium. My highlight, first time snook, a 32” fighter!

We were a group of 4. My wife and I and our daughter and boyfriend. Captain Taylor was great from start to finish. On time pickup, plenty of bait, great and really fast boat. Put us on Snook within 15 minutes of pickup and we all caught several.A couple of large ones. Then we decided to targer Redfish. Captain Taylor took us to a spot next to a dock and within 10 minutes our 22 year old daughter hooked a big one. Captain Taylor coached her through the process and at one point even got in the water to maneuver the boat and net the fish. It was incredible. He arranged for us to take our fish to a local restaurant so we could have them fixed for lunch. All in all a great day. True customer service and just a great guy to spend time with!

Captain Taylor took my wife, myself, and our 8 year old son out for a 2 hour trip. We really did not know what to expect, but this trip ended up being the highlight of our vacation. Our boy ended up catching the first fish out of the group, and he loved every bit of the trip. We fished the shore line, as well as a reef about 2 miles out. Captain Taylor was very professional and treated us rookies very well. Classy guy.

By far my favorite charter. Captain Taylor was extreamly knowlagable and answered all of our questions before taking us on the bay where we were joined by two beautiful dolphins named Biscuit & Boho. His expirence on the water made us feel very safe and comfortable while we chatted about everything from music to travel as he took us to some of the hotspots on the gulf.
We caught a decent sized sheepshead fish (which we cooked for dinner that evening) and a wide variety of other fish that we never saw on other charters. Can’t wait to book him again! (And ladies, he’s cute too!)Laura Jacobson recommends Ultimate Fishing AdventuresFished March 2017

Pluses: Captain Taylor is friendly and and very sociable. Took us to fishing spots right away. Water temp was 63 deg since previous week had cold snap so only caught about 30 fish(snapper,blue fish, jack crevelle) in 2 hours. Can’t imagine how many we’d catch on warmer water. Just kept enough snapper for lunch. Fishing boat is super nice and roomy. good sound system with good selection of music. His rates are the best value for your money.
Negatives: none.
Recommend 4 hours. had too much fun to just book for 2 hours.Mike Dobrowolsky recommends Ultimate Fishing AdventuresFished January 2017

We booked a half day trip with Capt. Taylor Rahn. It was our first fishing trip so we do not have any fishing experience. Capt. Taylor was ver nice and helpful. He explained us how to fish and he found the perfect place with a lot of Red Snapper and Sheepshead. From our meetingpoint to the fishing spot was about a 1/2 hour boatride which was very cool.
We were very successful in getting our dinner. We got 2 big Sheepshead and 3 Red Snapper.
During our trip we saw a lot of Dolphins playing around the boat. Beautiful.
The boat was very clean and in a perfect condition. Just perfect for a fishing trip.
After we arrived back at the boat ramp Capt. Taylor cleaned the fishes - ready to eat. Perfect.
I highly recommend this trip. It was a great experience. And I will surely do it again.
Thank you to Capt. Taylor for a perfect day.Vanessa Stephan recommends Ultimate Fishing AdventuresFished December 2016

So this is my second charter with Capt. Taylor and we were targeting snook and redfish since we’ve never caught them before. We ended the day with more than what we wanted. We got into plenty of snook and some big bull reds and even some bonus seatrout. Overall, we had a great time and knocked some fish off our bucket lists. Taylor is not uptight like many other captains are. He’s friendly, relaxed and he’ll put you on the fish for sure. 10/10 definitely recommend him!

Wow, I was very concerned with doing this experience but my husband loves fishing and I do a little. We booked a short trip as I was very cautious and get seasick easily. Captain Taylor was wonderfully accommodating and was so helpful for a novice fisher person. We caught fish, Taylor cleaned them, great music on the boat, I through a lure into the trees and it was no big thing. We are going to book future trips with family and friends. It was a great experience.

My wife and I recently moved to the Sarasota Bradenton area. After doing research online we opted to take a trip with Taylor. When we arrived at the Boatlanding he was ready to go. My wife requested that a handle on the real be put on the right and he accommodated her immediately. We fish three different areas caught some great fish and had an incredible experience. We have booked two additional trips since our first experience with Taylor. We would recommend this charter has a great value and a fun experience.

3 novice fishermen from Pennsylvania enjoyed a half-day near Anna Marie Island with Captain Taylor. Within minutes of making the reservation, Capt. Taylor contacted us to make advance arrangements to meet at a convenient spot. The boat and equipment were first rate. Capt. Taylor was attentive to our needs and patient with our skills. He had a great playlist and a host of interesting stories - some even had to do with fishing. Ha. We had lots of fishing activity and had about a dozen “keepers”. Looking forward to our next fishing adventure with Capt. Taylor.
