Captain Doug of Jewel of the Bay Charters delivered an exceptional experience during our spring break trip. From the moment we got on the water, it was clear he not only knows how to find fish, but also genuinely cares about the people he’s guiding. He showed incredible patience and attention with my son, making sure he was engaged, learning, and having a great time throughout the trip.

We spent a morning fishing with Capt Doug who picked us up at our dock in Anna Maria. We caugh tons of fish and took home several to grill. The Captain was an interesting and friendly man who worked incredibly hard the entire trip since we caught so many fish. It was a great excursion for kids who need to keep those poles bent to be happy!
