This was our 5th annual charter with Captain Jason Wightman, and as has been the case each year, we…read moreall thoroughly enjoyed this charter. Captain Jason put us on the fish early, and we started the day catching some sea trout. We moved to where we were all catching snook, and after catching scores of snook that were just short of being keepers, we moved on, leaving all the fun of catching snook behind. Captain Jason relocated to a new site where we caught 2 nice slot-sized redfish keepers. It was another enjoyable fishing charter with Captain Jason Wightman that provided us with plenty of nice filets for several great fish dinners I would highly recommend Grand Tarpon Charters for any fishing trip you are planning. You won't be disappointed!

Spouse and his brother hired Jason Wightman for a tarpon fishing charter on 05/16/26. He was…read morenearly two hours LATE for the trip and inquired about rescheduling. Brother had traveled from Michigan for this, so that was a "no." The fellas spent an entire morning lined up with countless other boats in Charlotte Harbor attempting to entice tarpon and had NOT ONE BITE all day. No offer of a partial refund for tardiness. Complete waste of $700.

CALL CAPTAIN JAMES!!! Our group of 4 went on a private charter today and had the best time of our…read morelives. Captain James certainly loves what he does...this shines through into his customers experience. His boat is a top of the line boat he also has the sweetest yeti cooler..James knows some good secret spots , and some hidden history behind the islands. He certainly knows where all of the fish are, we didnt fish, just did a private tour. I would highly recommend him for fishing, and any of your other needs. At one point James almost had me convinced to sell all of my belongings and move to an island here. Thanks again. If you're picking a guide, captain James is the man for the job.

Then we moved on to catching some sea trout and other species. The guys wasted very little time between bites, we were on the fish solid for 4 hours. Everyone in the group caught at least 10-12 fish, it was a very productive day. Aaron and Greg were very nice with my boys making the fishing trip the best part of our vacation at Anna Maria. I've been on a lot of fishing charters and this trip was the best by far. Next time we go to Anna Maria there is no question we will be hitting up Aaron for a trip or two, you should too!

From the moment we stepped aboard, she made us feel welcome and took the time to learn what we wanted out of our trip. What really set this tour apart was how Beth tailored the entire experience to fit our needs and interests. She was flexible, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had the best possible day on the water. We never felt rushed, and every stop felt like it was chosen just for us. If you're looking for a personalized, relaxing, and memorable boat tour around Anna Maria Island, look no further. Beth went above and beyond to make our outing special, and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. We can't recommend Island Time Boat Tours highly enough and will definitely book with Beth again on our next visit!
