Hundreds of families and anglers have experienced the thrill of fishing Sarasota with Captain Steve. Here is what they are saying.

Captain Steve is absolutely incredible! We caught 4 tarpon in one morning — the biggest was over 100 lbs. He knew exactly where to go and kept the whole family entertained. Highly recommend!

We booked the sunset cruise and dolphin tour for my wife’s birthday — absolutely magical. The dolphins swam right up to the boat! Captain Steve made it a truly unforgettable evening.

Took my two boys for their first fishing trip ever. Captain Steve was so patient. We caught snook, redfish, and seatrout. The photos and video he took were incredible — Instagram gold!

“
As a competitive angler I was blown away by Captain Steve’s knowledge of the flats. We sight-fished for redfish and he put me on fish I never would have found on my own.

Our engagement photos on the private sandbar were breathtaking! Captain Steve knew the perfect spot and light. Booking the wedding charter was the best decision we made!

Night fishing was a blast! We caught monster snook right under the docks. The experience of casting under the stars in Sarasota Bay is something I will never forget.
