Captain and trip style
The operator introduces Brandon as a local USCG-licensed captain who plans trips around the group's interests. Fishing beginners and children are welcome. The service is private, so the itinerary can be discussed directly rather than shared with unrelated ticket holders.
Fishing and the boat
The charter page describes a center-console boat and fishing-license coverage for up to six passengers. Inshore outings fish Anclote waters, while offshore trips may venture west of Anclote Island. Confirm the assigned boat, passenger capacity and conditions suitable for your group.
Advertised prices
The reviewed charter page lists inshore fishing at $525 for four hours and $725 for six. Offshore options are listed at $850 for four hours and $1,575 for seven, with additional fees for more than four people. The same page retains a 2024 scallop-season notice, so reconfirm all prices and seasonal offerings before relying on them.
What to bring
The business supplies fishing gear, water, ice and cooler space, and welcomes a favorite personal rod. Bring snacks, drinks, a hat, protective clothing and lotion-style sunscreen. Scalloping gear descriptions vary on the page; confirm masks, fins, snorkels and collection equipment for that specific outing.
Booking and meeting details
A $100 deposit is described as due 48 hours before the charter and refundable for inclement weather. Ask for the full cancellation terms and final group price. The site names Turtle Cove Marina and parking near Cross Street and Roosevelt Boulevard. Phone or email for current directions and check-in time.
