Booked a certain day from a specific location. After deposit, they said they couldn’t do that day. Picked different day and then they switched pickup location to double the distance we initially had. It was a long ride. Initial captain who promised extra time did not come but replacement captain was very nice. Boat was plain. Locations were odd. Mostly at other people’s private docks. Lots of travel time to get there. Would rather of just spent 3 hours by the pickup dock then half time traveling to boring locations. Caught 3 fish in 3 hours. Price with tip was over $500. Was promised extra time and to be taken care of because of scheduling changes. Got a little extra time but it was spent under a drawbridge by drop off location while bridge was opening g and closing with boat traffic. Weird. Wish we kept the money and did more jet skiing. Was not what I had in mind for a private charter in scenic Sarasota.

Book as early as possible. These trips book fast. Four hour trips are perfect in July. They start at 8am and end at noon right when it starts to get really hot, then the cool breeze of the trip back is very refreshing!
Although there no guarantees you’ll catch fish, these Captains will go over and above to make your fishing experience as best as possible so tip them generously. We look forward to fishing here again next year.

Make sure you hydrate before and during your fishing trip. Wear appropriate clothing for being exposed to a lot of heat and direct sunlight (hat, glasses, light clothing, etc.). Don't forget the sunblock. If you get seasick easily take some Dramamine. I also recommend taking a few snacks like crackers or chips if you are feeling nauseous.

I thought that FishingBooker was the way to go to book a charter, but given him my experience and getting a different boat and Captain, I would not consider this website or booking service again. I will only book directly with a professional chart. I don’t feel that I got my moneys worth for this experience.

There was nothing Tony did wrong. He tried hard but fish just were not biting. Anyone who has fished much knows you have these type of days sometimes. No what we expected but still a good day on the water.

I would say the family fishing trip was a great mix of fishing and shark tooth finding but if you want to just fish you might want to book just the fishing excursion. But no matter you won’t be disappointed

Trust your Capt to know what is bitting. They are on the water and know what to target and where to go. Some days are very good and some a little slower.
Thats why it's called fishing and not just catching.

2nd year in a row with Captain Bryan. He's a class act with a ton of knowledge. Hammered the fish last year. Fish did not cooperate but not from lack of trying. Anyone who fishes knows that sometime the fish don't cooperate. Plan on coming down again next year and will not even think about getting a different Captain or guide. Want a great fishing experience pick this outfit

Josh is a great guide. Caught alot of fish in many different areas. Ask him to take you to the "honey Hole" dock fishing. Caught a fish on almost every single cast. This is a true review..Mark Gleisner, Oconomowoc, wisconsin.

Captain Scott was great, he put us on the fish. At each stop he took the time to explain what type fish we may catch but also the technique that we should be using. We had a great day, catching snapper, catfish and a tripletail. This trip truly had the fish that got away, a giant tripletail that got away as it neared the boat. We definitely would recommend him and looking forward to future trips.

It was pretty windy while we were there. There were some storms in the Gulf that probably threw the captain some curveballs to deal with. It was a good trip, but the captain seemed a little disappointed with the results. We are from the North, so the fishing still was excellent by comparison.

Go out into the Gulf--more likely to catch good fish. Better yet, head a little north to Brandenton where Grouper, Red Fish etc. are legal to catch this time of year. Farther north, as I've been told, allows for fishing in deeper water closer to shore in the Gulf.

The only problem with May is the love bugs but they really weren't that bad, though we didn't hit them at the height of their season. After a couple of months of enforced lockdown due to the virus, this was a more than welcomed diversion.

4 hour trip was fun, good overall experience.great boat and crew. But I would suggest the 8 hour trip next time. Hour ride to fishing spot, hour ride back. Moving from spot to spot to where the fish are. Seems like we only fished for 30 minutes.

David Pullen
Small charters are my favorite. Local captains that know the area and which techniques and baits work best keeps me coming back year after year.

Kayla Ohm
Little chillier than we expected but we know for next time to dress warmer if we are fishing in the winter months.

Sheri Schmutte
Set up with this option! We’ve done a few fishing trips in different places and this was by far the best! So fun and so many fish. We even saw a dolphin too! <3

Colten Dunhoft
Cool crisp early morning and a beautiful sunny mid day! Absolutely beautiful weather for fishing!

Jeffrey Stano
Don’t set your expectations too high, Fishing is gambling and on any given day, you could lose and not catch anything. Nothing in life is guaranteed

Michael Burke
This was less than a 1/2 day boat rental and he had the equipment, bait, gear and licenses. He know the area and where to fish. He also taught me a ton.

Mindee Mccurley
Best advice is to get in good with the locals, they know the best spots and the best times. They know tides, and how to target specific species. They also have the best recipes!

Amanda Williams
Request Jose for your captain especially if you are first timers or have younger children. He has the patience of a saint!! Absolutely love him!!

Alex Basti
although these summer months are tough, if you can suck up the heat its still an incredible experience to get out there on the water

Amy Anderson
Fishing in water on the mangroves was a fun day of action, lots of different fish and action all morning.

Gabriel Ruff
Sunscreen is a must as is reapplying regularly, hydration and snacks are equally important. Fishing only twice in my life, I caught many, many fish yesterday and had an absolute blast!

Kyle Gandy
Can be warm, but able to drink and enjoy the time. Recommend sunscreen and a patient attitude. Fish are biting.

Charlotte Bimba
I cannot imagine a better experience for my son and two grandsons! You will not be disappointed with Captain Jack! He is wise beyond his years.

Matthew Ferro
Ask around for a good hook and cook (restaurants that cook/prepare your fresh catch you just caught that day!) we went to Walt’s Fish Market and Restaurant.

Rodney Johnson
Bring a small bag of snacks if you have kid's. And a small cooler. If you want your fillets from different species separated I would bring my own gallon bags.

Ian Mcdonald
Long sleeves and plenty of sunscreen! It’s going to be hot so just accept it and you will have a blast.
