Sarasota Fishing Charters
Sarasota Bay flats, passes, and Gulf reefs — guided fishing charters a short, scenic drive north of Sarasota.
Fishing from Sarasota means easy access to a remarkable variety of water. Our charters cover Sarasota Bay's grass flats, the deep cuts of New Pass and Big Pass, and the nearshore Gulf — productive year-round and only a scenic drive up the key from the city.
Snook, redfish, and trophy seatrout prowl the flats, while the passes and reefs hold everything from Spanish mackerel to mangrove snapper. Whatever the conditions, your captain puts you on the most active bite, with all bait, tackle, and licenses provided.
Getting to the Boat from Sarasota
All trips depart our marina at 6398 Marina Way, Holmes Beach, FL — 40–55 minutes (around 20 miles) from downtown Sarasota.
