Everything we could’ve asked for and more.

8 Hour Trip5 adults1 child

I cannot express my gratitude for how well our charter went all four of my teenagers and myself had a great time Captain and first mate really went above and beyond. We caught more fish than we thought was possible we were able to take them to a restaurant right after charter and have them cooked, which was a huge bonus and recommended by captain!

    Epic 1-Day Fishing on the Ana Banana

    10 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    We spent a full-day charter aboard the remodeled 40' Luhrs Express out of Marathon and had an outstanding trip. Captain Joel and his mates used live bait and state-of-the-art gear to keep us on fish, and their no-fish–no-pay policy gave us great confidence. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped — walk-in head, fighting chair, and plenty of cover from the wind — and the crew cleaned and bagged our catch at the dock. Friendly, professional, and highly recommended for anglers and families looking for a productive, comfortable day on the water.

    Made Great Memories

    6 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    We enjoyed our fishing experience thr Ana Banana crew. This was our first time fishing in the ocean so we went with the reef/wreck option. We caught lots of fish. The crew was helpful and easy to work with. Aside from lots of snapper, we also reeled in a barracuda and a shark! My kids and I loved it!

    Mahi slayer!

    8 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Went for an offshore trip and absolutely crushed the mahi. All keepers - probably a dozen maybe more. Captain Joel and first mate Roger did an amazing job keeping the boat steady in pretty decent seas and kept us on the fish all day. Will definitely return

    Windy Day Slam

    6 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM • 4 adults • 1 child

    We came to fish! 20knot winds had 4 charters cancelled…. Ana Banna said “LETS GOOO” We are leaving today with a pile for the freezer. Joel and Shawn were everything you would hope for a Charter Capt. and Mate. I think we hooked into just about every species in the gulf. Had a blast!!

    Great Day for my friends and son

    8 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    I had originally booked with Ana Banana, but he called me Monday night to say he had major engine failure the day before. Instead of canceling, he hooked me up with another fisher. that guy, Captain Richard, got my party right on the Black fin Tuna and then got us on for Mahi. Best trip I have every had. Thanks
