Captain Anthony was everything I could hope for.  Coming from Wisconsin to Florida for vacation, the communication with Capt Anthony was attentive and prompt. We had to change pickup locations at the last minute due to dock repainting, bit he communicated this information and the new location was easy to find.  He was able to put us on fish at several different locations, which made us able to catch several different species of fish.  My wife, daughter, son, and I had a wonderful time. Not once out there did we feel like this was just a job to him, but it was his passion and he loved doing it.  Our conversations flowed naturally, as if we were out there with an old friend catching up.  Captain Anthony
will be my only pick for a fishing charter the next time we come down and I will be recommending his charter to those I know.

Let me start off by saying when I booked this trip, I didn’t realize that it would be a 2.5 hour drive for us but reading the description about the kid friendly experience the wife and I decided to keep the booking and make the drive and boy are we glad we did. Capt. Anthony was absolutely amazing! He was super friendly and great with our two boys (10 and 4). We had a beautiful day for fishing and Capt. Anthony got us right on the fish.

Capt. Anthony was very informative and great with answering all the questions the kids had, even the 4 year old that questions everything… 😅. Our 10 year old has some experience fishing so after we got him started and the wife and I were catching fish, Capt. Anthony took our youngest for one on one and helped him out so mom and I could enjoy ourselves as well.

Even though the fish didn’t stop biting the whole time we were out there, eventually the attention span of the children shifted from the fish in the ocean to the bait fish in the boat. Capt. Anthony kept them busy by “giving them a job” and having them dip out bait fish when lines needed fresh bait which the kids absolutely loved.

All in all, if we ever find our selves back in his part of Florida we will definitely be return customers. Heck, we may even make the 2.5 hour drive again the experience was so good.

First time out for me and my three boys (16,14,12). We had a wonderful time. Our goal was to catch several species of fish and take some fish home to eat. We caught 11 different species of fish and brought more than enough fish home. Anthony was great with my sons. He is really good at reading people and knowing their level of fishing experience. My boys fish in the Midwest but this was their first time out on the ocean. We went several miles off shore and fished several good spots. Anthony is really good at communicating in advance and working his hardest for the customer. He is good at explaining things and setting you up to succeed. He took his time to clean all of our fish really nice (compared to some of the other guides we saw who quickly clout through the fish and left a lot of meat on the bone).

Definitely, memories we will cherish for a lifetime. It was a joy to spend a morning with him. I am glad we chose him for the good reviews we saw. We definitely will choose Anthony when we come back to Florida. My sons say, “Fishing with Anthony is a must!”

If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, I highly recommend going out with Anthony Vingelli! 🎣🌊 Our trip was absolutely amazing from start to finish — Anthony knows exactly where to go, makes it fun for everyone, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great time. We caught all kinds of fish (including a few with teeth 😳😂), learned so much, and made memories that’ll last forever. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, fishing with Anthony is a total must! 5 stars all the way ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an outstanding experience on this 2-hour kids’ fishing trip! From start to finish, everything was smooth and enjoyable — literally, the boat ride was calm and perfect for little ones. We caught a lot of fish, which kept the kids excited and engaged the whole time. Captain Anthony was patient, friendly, and great with children, making it a stress-free outing for parents. If you’re looking to introduce your young kids to fishing in a safe, fun, and successful way, I highly recommend this trip. It was the perfect balance of adventure and comfort!
