We booked a charter late the noght before due to incoming weather.  Captain Jamie showed up on time and was ready.  Even with the short notice he made us feel comfortable.  Captain Jamie took us to a couple spots and immediately got us on fish.  We had a couple avid fishermen in our group and a few of us not so much.  We all caught a number of fish.  on our third spot we caught ao many types of fish it was crazy.  My husband and son, both caught puffer fish.  This charter was fabulous we will definitely be hitting up Captain Jamie the next time we are in the area.

Captain Brian/Bryan was absolutely amazing! I took 2 hours, but got there early and he was already there waiting and we took off. Where most would keep you close he decided since it was so nice to head straight out 9 miles offshore and had a few places already mapped out. We were on fish immediately and when we slowed down there he had us at another place. His enthusiasm and willing to teach was phenomenal. We caught a ton of White Grunts, Spanish Mackerel, Snapper, Shark and a large flounder. Unfortunately I had not planned on this and was flying out the next day so I left him with most. He was kind enough to filet a few of the grunts for me and took me to a place that cooked them up for me. If you do one thing while visiting It should be this. I will never not reach out to him when I end up in the area. An absolute value and a truly fun experience. Truly a reason in itself to visit and will certainly have me back asap. If you’re visiting Sarasota and don’t do this you’ve made a huge mistake!

Thanks for everything, guys!

A group of 4 of us decided to do a fishing charter on the last day of our vacation on a spur of the moment decision - booked it the day before we actually went! Originally booked a 4-hour trip for 3pm, but got a message from the company asking if we could start at noon instead, because of the tide. The 4-hour ended up being the perfect amount of time for us.

We were slightly nervous on the dock, as there was another group coming in off of a completely different fishing charter (different company too) that said it was a “very expensive boat ride”, and only came out with one small fish. However, we started catching fish almost immediately. We felt comfortable baiting our own hooks and taking off our own fish, after a brief explanation from the Captain (however, he was always willing to help if we wanted it) - which made the experience even better.

Captain Lance was AWESOME! Obviously super knowledgeable and honestly a great time. We went to 5+ different spots in the Gulf and caught lots of fish: including a HUGE 32-inch Snook. We also saw tons of dolphins on the way out and back, and were explained what they were doing by Captain Lance - which was SO COOL! All of us had beginner/intermediate fishing experience in freshwater, but nothing in ocean/saltwater. It was very easy to learn for what we were doing, and truly a good time. One of us got seasick midway through the trip due to the waves, and Lance gave us some ideas to help— which worked! We will 1000% be going again, especially with Captain Lance.

At the end, he gave us waters for the road (as it was a pretty hot day) and filleted our fish for us - which we grilled up for dinner that night (DELICIOUS btw). Cannot recommend Lance enough, for a group of 21-25 year olds— he was perfect.

We were initially concerned the trip might be canceled due to the weather, but instead, they simply delayed it until the worst of the storm passed—very reassuring and professional. Our captain, Jamie, was fantastic—friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. He answered all our questions with ease.

The first stop was unforgettable: a school of dolphins! We saw eight in total, playfully swimming and living their best lives. It was absolutely magical.

Next, we headed to the fishing spot. My son had a blast—he caught seven fish and even a crab! I only caught one, but I rarely fish, and my fiancé caught two. For all of us, it was a first-time experience, and we had an amazing time.

I would absolutely recommend Captain Jamie and the company to anyone looking for a fun, memorable outing on the water!

While in siesta key, I booked a last minute short charter. My son “likes” to fish but is tired of it quickly. Our captain kept us hopping and we brought in 7 keepers which we grilled up for tacos that night. We definitely caught more than we kept. Cap also navigated us through a little Florida squall and helped us get the most out of our fishing trip given the weather. He was also very good about making adjustments when the fish got cold. Just what you expect out of a good fish captain. This was one of the better short charters that we’ve taken recently.
