This was a our first family fishing outing and it was everything we could have imagined. Captain Damian was a great communicator and teacher from the time I booked the trip until we docked after the trip. Weโve visit Sarasota often but never went fishing before. We caught plenty of grouper, snapper and a tuna. Especially for a half day trip. Weโll be back and definitely will be booking with Siesta Key Sport Fishing with Captain Damian. Had a blast! Thanks Damian and TJ.
I do not like to write a bad review and tend to not write a review at all instead- however our trip was awful. Not catching fish happens- itโs fishing and not catching- but when the captain obviously doesnโt want to be there and talks about ending the trip early from the moment you leave the dock- and spends the whole trip talking down to his first mate- itโs just not right. I know he had mechanical issues the day before- so maybe that was the issue- but it was not the way the trip should have gone.

As I advised prior to the trip that because of the weather, it would be better to cancel and reschedule. As a captain, knowing how the weather was going to be, it would not be condusive to achieving your goal.ย However, you were adamant about taking the trip on that day and time.
My family had an awesome time! The captain and first mate were super patient with the kids and they caught a ton of fish. We will definitely book again.
Weather warmed up for us and had a great day of fishing in the sun. Got a large variety of fish.ย Went about 12 miles out.ย Good family fun!
