Teal Water Charter Company offers guided fishing around Sarasota with Captain Kevin Crough aboard a 26-foot Sea Cat. Its fishing menu separates inshore and nearshore trips from Gulf outings advertised as offshore. Four-, six- and eight-hour choices allow guests to plan a fishing day of different lengths without committing to a single style of water.

Inshore and nearshore fishing
The coastal program covers Sarasota-area channels, passes, beaches, mangroves and grass flats. Snook, redfish and trout are featured targets, with tarpon, barracuda, snapper and grouper also listed. This is the relevant starting point for anglers who want light tackle and coastal scenery while discussing a trip that stays closer to the islands.
The operator welcomes varied skill levels and describes tailoring the fishing to the group. Explain whether the trip is an introduction for children, a relaxed day with friends or an outing for experienced anglers who have a particular technique in mind. The same advertised duration can be used differently depending on those goals and the conditions.
Gulf trips and the Sea Cat
The offshore category is described as traveling up to ten miles from Sarasota's coast. Grouper, snapper, kingfish, Spanish mackerel, cobia, sharks and barracuda appear in that program. Ask about the likely run and sea conditions, since the operator's offshore label describes a different experience from fishing the bay even though it remains a relatively local Gulf outing.
Published fishing prices are structured around four guests, with a six-person maximum and additional-person charges that vary by duration. The 26-foot Sea Cat is the named fishing platform. Have the current total and guest count confirmed together so a larger party does not compare its booking with a base rate intended for fewer anglers.
What to arrange before departure
Call 941-599-1570 to discuss fishing dates and pickup instructions. The service names Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Bradenton and Anna Maria in its broader coverage, but the exact departure must be agreed. Sunset, waterfront dining and celebration cruises are separate offerings, so identify the fishing program clearly when requesting availability.
The fishing pages list bait, artificial lures, tackle, rods, reels, fish cleaning, boat, fuel and an iced cooler. Ask about license coverage and bring personal drinks, snacks and non-spray sunscreen as directed. A hat, sunglasses and weather-appropriate clothing complete a practical packing list once the captain has recommended the most suitable fishing area.
