5.0Pirate Adventures of Cortez(498 reviews) - ARRR-MAZING...see what I did there? Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Boat Tours
Incredible! Don't hesitate to book, phenomenal in every way! The crew was fantastic, wish they were available to come babysit after the boat ride! We were a bit concerned our kids would lose interest at some point (because kids these days typically want their device after 20 minutes) but they never did. The crew was engaging and kept all of the kids entertained and laughing the WHOLE time. The main "pirate" was kind enough to include (but not be too pushy, you know the type...they only make things worse) the two younger girls that were too shy to participate at first. By halfway through they were up having a blast! My 6yr old's face was priceless. To say he loved it would be an understatement. It's perfectly timed, not too short, not too long. The crew really does a top notch job, bring cash to tip! One tip, bring a water bottle. The adults were sooo thirsty. (Our fault, too many hard seltzers the night before)See more..
My husband and I went on the sunset cruise with Cpt Mark (who is awesome!) and his lovely wife. Some other nice locals joined too! We had a blast! Watch dolphins and it was a really lovely experience. The sunset on boat is something else. The views are stunning! You have to try it! We are definitely coming back!See more..
This was our third trip with Capt. Kathe and I think it was our best. We loved having her dog sailor with us. He helped us find a group of manatees and we were able to watch then for a good bit of time. We actually saw one munching on a bush on the edge of the water! Then it was dolphin time! We saw a group of 7 or 8 of them swimming together and chasing the wake of a nearby boat. Then Capt. Kathe started to drive faster in our boat and two dolphin played in the wake...it was so fun to watch these amazing creatures leap in what looked like joy to me! A magical experience. We also saw nests of heron with babies in them...so cool. It was a great day on the water with a wonderful guide and boat captain. Thanks again Capt. Kathe and Sailor!See more..
Captain Kim took us out hoping to find dolphins. Not only did we see several dolphins, she was so knowledgeable about their behaviors and even sees the same dolphins over and over. She also netted out see weed from which she found a variety of sea creatures for us to view and touch. She captivated the attention of both my 4.5 year old and my 7.5 year old as well as the adults on the boat. Totally worth every penny!See more..
5.0Florida Fishing Fleet(92 reviews) - Home run with this crew! Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours
All I can say is wow! I had a friend in town I haven't seen in 25 years that has never been fishing in the Golf ! And boy did this crew hit a home run we caught three keeper grouper and a uncounted number of grunts, porgies & lane snapper! This Crew is very professional and accommodating. This was an all-inclusive 6-hour trip with rods and bait included and With Quick and efficient fish cleaning at the end of the day. (Just be sure to look after the mate) Logan did a great job! Bait cups were always filled and fish ice down right away. All in all I will be back and so will my friend!See more..
I went on Patsy's boat with 3 of my friends and we loved it! We really liked the fact that it was a small boat with a personal tour experience at a very reasonable price. She was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the area. The best part was the fact that we not only saw a pod of playful dolphins, but Patsy was able to get them to follow in her wake and jump continuously right behind the boat! We were thrilled and had a great time!See more..
My family spent the day with Captain Eric and had the time of our lives! He taught us so much about fishing. He was very attentive to us and wanted to be sure we enjoyed our day. He was patient with our 6 year old and kept him totally involved in reeling the fish in. At the end of our trip e cleaned our fish and let us take them home for dinner. Definitely one for the memory book. I highly recommend him!See more..
Jeff has built the sailing boat himself and it will take up to 6 people. Because of the small size of the boat you can enter the shallows of the waterways and get up close and personal with lots of wildlife such as dolphins etc. A truely lovely way to spend 1 1/2 hours, highly recommended.See more..
We booked a last minute charter with Highliner today and lucky for us, they were available. We went out with John for an inshore fishing trip and he was an amazing guide. He took us to some great fishing spots and we hooked snook, flounder, mackerel, jacks, trout and snapper. More important than the actual catch, John is the epitome of customer service. He keeps bait on your hook, an eye on your line and if you're not tracking fish, he'll do anything he can to put you on them. After that, it's up to you to catch them. John is very personable and having been on a few charters in my time, the captain can really dictate how enjoyable the trip is. If John has anything to do with it, you're going to have fun. He even kept us out longer than our slotted time frame and it was a great time. I highly recommend this inshore trip or any trip with John on Highliner...See more..
5.0Graham Slam Fishing Charters(8 reviews) - Good charter for both experienced and novice fishermen. Saturday: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours
Captain Nick Graham is native to Anna Maria Island and knows the waters and where to find the fish. He moved us to several areas to find specific species of fish. We caught fish nonstop and kept what was in the photo. It was about 30% of the total catch for our group of 4. Nick will clean and filet your fish and then recommended the Waterfront restaurant which will cook your fresh catch. A great experience for both the dads and the young teens.See more..
What an experience you don’t want to miss. Captain Donnie is the best and we have booked with him several trips now. The boat is beautiful and very well kept. He is so accommodating and very familiar with the island. We had the best day and got to see so many dolphins.See more..

5.0Donut Boat Rentals(2 reviews) - GREAT time had by all!! Saturday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Boat Tours • Boat Rentals • Dolphin & Whale Watching
As a group of 16 it is hard to find an activity we can all participate in at the same time, well Facebook made a suggestion & we booked it. I reserved the 2 hour tour to Jewfish Key. We started our trip with Mimosa's and snacks so we of course chose to hire captains to take us to our destination. The boats don't go as fast as regular motor boats but we didn't mind. We were like celebrities as all the large yachts beeped, waved and took pictures. WE also saw a few dolphins along the way! Once we were at the sandbar, it was like being part of a private club. What a beautiful spot to wade in the warm water & enjoy each others company. It was a beautiful day & a GREAT time was had by all! The worst part of the trip was knowing at some point we'd have to go back to shore :(See more..
