About Your Trip

Captain Kyle is your ticket to the stunning waters of Bradenton. With Captain Kyle, a Sarasota native with over 20 years fishing expertise, at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

With their "adventures your way" policy you can rest assured that this will be the perfect trip. We can accomodate everybody. For fishing we can run offshore (up to 9 miles). We can hit the sandbar and cool off. Stop by and
check out the dolphins or even watch the sunset.

During the trip you might be casting, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or for the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Your adventure begins aboard an air conditioned 36' Sportfish Convertible with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials and top of the line electronics including sonar, radar, and bottom scan for the best chance of success.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is normally provided depending on the trip.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations. If you do want to keep your catch we will fillet and bag it up.

It's a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. There will be water and some Gatorade provided, but you are welcome to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, we do ask no glass bottles. Cooler space and ice are provided.

For the full day trips we provide hot dogs and hamburger and a propane grill. Of course you can always grill up your fresh catch too!

We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
