    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was our first time on a private fishing charter and it was a 10/10 from start to finish. Captain Scott was great with our two boys, 8 and 11 who needed some guidance. He knew all the right spots and exceeded our expectations. Having him filet our fish was super helpful and appreciated. We would absolutely book again and recommend him to friends and family!

    Everything We Expected and More

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Scott made our day by putting us onto a nice catch of Spanish Mackeral offshore and a real nice Cobia that we came close to landing. Then we hooked into a 6’+ shark that was a real thrill to catch and release, after a long fight. Headed inshore to pick up some nice eating size sea trout to round out our perfect half day trip. All three anglers would vote to recommend Captain Scott King again anytime. Paul Ackerman

What's biting with Big Ticket Charters in Sarasota

The summer winds down slowly and uneventfully... somewhere else! Here, you've got Barracuda, King Mackerel, Tuna, Bluefish, Tarpon, Amberjack, and Sharks, and that's without even getting into the deeper waters way offshore!
