Captain Doug did a great job of taking care of all of us and making it fun for our 3 kids. Everyone one caught fish and learned a lot about the fish, birds, and island of AMI. Great trip!

An Outstanding Charter Experience with a Captain Who Truly Loves the Craft

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. What stood out most was his passion for fishing and his ability to share that enthusiasm in a way... More

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!
