This is THE dolphin boat tour to go on, and we have tried several in the Boca Ciega Bay area. A…read moredolphin specialist guides the tour and explains everything about dolphins, and knows how to identify most of the 400+ dolphins in the bay, by name, by their distinctive dorsal fin. We were also guided to an osprey nest in the middle of the bay, on one of the channel markers, where the osprey family were raising their two babies. We were lucky it was a beautiful day, weather-wise, but they also have a canopy over the pontoon boat, which keeps out both hot sun and rain. It's really the best dolphin boat tour around!

You have to stay in the bag and cannot go out to the gulf.

The anchoring process isn't easy so make sure to read up on that! The boats were extremely nice and almost brand new looking! There was a large cooler and lots of storage under the seats for food!

If I could give zero stars, I probably would. This place is extremely unprofessional. Me and my…read morehusband were on vacation and decided for our last day to book a fishing time block from 7am-11am. We were advised to show up at 7am at this dock, we showed up around 6:50. Once 7am hit there was nobody in sight that seemed they would be taking us out that day so we waited until 7:15am. Still nobody. My husband called the number provided for this company and nobody answered. he waited about 5 minutes and called again, still no answer. Around 7:22am the number texted my husband saying he wasn't notified that we booked the trip and he would not be able to take us out that morning. He did refund us all of our money, took about a week and half to two weeks to get our refund. This charter lacks all around. Do not book with them.

Fish Pro Charters - Captain Kellen…read more Captain Kellen Ankrum flat out worked his butt off for us! My teenage son and I had fished a short trip with him last autumn. I liked him enough to book two full-day trips with him for myself and a buddy 8 mos in advance. So last week, we fished for Tarpon, Grouper, Snapper (several kinds), Amberjack, and even caught a Cobia and hooked a small shark. The AmberJack fight like banshees, and the Grouper were big enough to stress your arms to the max! I have never tasted fish as sweet as Mangrove Snapper and Red Snapper. We limited out easily in the first 90 minutes! We fished in-shore; Tampa Bay under the Sunshine bridge; sandbars; "the Hole"; and 40+ miles off-shore on those two days. Had a blast!!! Knowledgeable, friendly, laid back, smooth boat, adjusts his methods to your level of ability, and just flat out works hard!!! Just don't book him on the days I go back!!!

The kayak was easy to steer, though my husband and I are both tall and it felt a bit cramped after about an hour -- not a deal breaker at all. The light attached to the kayak was a great touch and helped illuminate the fish we were spotting. We even stopped to feed the catfish and got an up-close view, which was really fun. Although the water was cold and Nolan mentioned some fish weren't out, we still saw plenty and thoroughly enjoyed the calm ride through Sarasota Bay with beautiful views of the city skyline. I would absolutely do this again!

We got a nice tour passing by a mangrove and by the time we reached under the bridge where the catfish live, it was dark enough for our LED lights to illuminate the water so we could see and feed the catfish. Then it was a nice paddle back to shore. This is the perfect date night activity, whether you're beginners or have done it before. Only 2 people max can be in the same kayak as long as they are under the weight limit, so if you come in odd numbered parties, someone will have to be fine with kayaking alone.
