About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Charlie for an unforgettable day fishing the pristine waters around Anna Maria Island, Egmont Key, Longboat Key, and Terra Ceia! Whether you’re chasing your first fish or adding another trophy to your list, Captain Charlie will put you right where the action is.

You’ll be fishing from a 2021 Parker center console—a spacious and stable 25’ vessel designed with comfort and performance in mind. Outfitted with twin Yamaha engines pushing up
to 42 knots, you’ll hop between fishing grounds in no time. Once you’ve found that perfect spot, the powerful Rhodan trolling motor will hold you steady, and cutting-edge side-scan fish-finding technology will light up the underwater world in crisp 3D detail.

On this 5-hour adventure, you’ll explore inshore waters, grass flats, reefs, and wrecks. Depending on the season and conditions, you could be reeling in Snook, Speckled Trout, Redfish, Cobia, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Ladyfish—and maybe even a surprise or two. With a variety of fishing techniques available—including light and heavy tackle, spinning, trolling, and drift fishing—Captain Charlie will tailor the trip to your skill level and target species.

All rods, reels, bait, and tackle are included, along with your Florida fishing license. Families and kids are always welcome, and the crew is eager to lend a hand so everyone has a chance to feel that telltale tug on the line. When it’s time for a break, you can even grab the provided snorkeling gear and explore below the surface.

Captain Charlie will also work with you to choose a departure time that lines up with the best tides and bite windows, so you’re fishing when the fish are most active. Just bring your favorite snacks, drinks, sun protection, and a readiness for action—your next great fishing story starts here!
