About Your Trip

Experience some of Sarasota's best inshore fishing on a customized light tackle adventure with Captain Billy. Choose from a 4-hour morning or afternoon trip or spend even more time on the water with a 6-hour charter as you explore the area's productive grass flats, mangrove shorelines, passes, and nearshore waters.

Depending on the season, you'll have opportunities to target Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, Cobia, and even Tarpon when they're around. Captain Billy adjusts each trip to current conditions, using live bait and artificial lures while targeting fish with proven spinning techniques.

You'll fish from an agile 18-foot Sea Chaser flats boat built to quietly access skinny water where larger boats can't go. Equipped with GPS, fishfinder, trolling motor, and livewell, it's the perfect platform for sight fishing and working shallow structure.

All rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures, fishing licenses, drinks, and fish cleaning are included. Just bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and any snacks you'd like for the day. Families are always welcome, making this a great trip for introducing kids to fishing or enjoying a relaxing day on the water together.

Whether you're hoping to land your first Snook, fill the cooler with Mangrove Snapper, or simply enjoy a day exploring Sarasota's beautiful fishery, Captain Billy will work hard to put you on fish and make the most of your time on the water.
