Captain Mark
The operator describes Mark as a Manatee County resident with boating experience in Florida and New York. The business emphasizes teaching new anglers and helping guests learn as they fish. His full name was not established in the reviewed pages, so the profile uses the professional name shown by the operator.
Fishing and sightseeing
Inshore and offshore trips are available, along with sightseeing through the area's waters. Discuss your preferred fishing style and tolerance for open-water travel before selecting a trip. Offshore destinations and target species should be agreed with the captain for the date and conditions.
What is included
The FAQ lists fishing licenses, safety equipment, water, a cooler with ice, rods, reels, tackle, live bait or lures and catch cleaning and filleting. Guests bring sandwiches, snacks and drinks other than water. A cooler for taking fish home should stay in the vehicle until the trip ends.
Rates and preparation
A complete fixed rate schedule was not confirmed in the reviewed pages. The homepage advertises a ten-percent veteran discount; ask about eligibility and whether it applies to your booking. Wear suitable clothing, soft-soled shoes and sun protection, and confirm boat amenities and capacity.
Boarding and booking
The business explicitly identifies Safe Harbor Pier 77 on Manatee Avenue as its departure location. Call, text or email for availability, trip length and the final total. Obtain the deposit, cancellation and weather terms before paying. This business is distinct from Russ and Jon Schnering's Bradenton Fishing Charters.
Details checked September 28, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
