About Your Trip

Book your next trip with us and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Bradenton Beach for more. With Captain Kyle, a Sarasota native with over 20 years fishing expertise, at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

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

Young ones are welcome, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you
don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, we normally keep a good selection on board. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your adventure begins aboard a 20' Center console with room for 6 passengers (4 on fishing trips). It comes with all the essentials and top of the line electronics including sonar, side scan, bottom scan and Livescope 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
