Amazing Fishing Charters Perfect for Your Florida Vacation

For a unique fishing experience in the blue-green Gulf of Mexico, many families and individuals enjoying a Florida vacation here at Longboat Key Club and Resort schedule thrilling private fishing charters.
Offered through local companies like Abbott's Family Charters, Catch a Memory Fishing Charters, and Charter Fishing with Captain Hank Williams, these charters are great for catching grouper, snapper, king mackerel, tuna, cobia, barracuda, shark or other exciting game fish, depending on the season. Florida vacation visitors may also see other sea life such as bottlenose dolphin or sea turtles.
Sport fishing is particularly outstanding from April through July, when many species migrate by Sarasota each year in the Gulf of Mexico. King mackerel, tuna and barracuda over 20 pounds are common catches after a spectacular fight, during which the fish mix fast runs with jumps. It’s also common for Florida vacation guests aboard a charter to catch much larger ocean pelagics, such as cobia, blacktip shark or an occasional tarpon in these months – always offering a long, exciting battle.
Feisty reef dwellers like grouper and snapper, targeted year-round, provide superb table fare. All equipment, bait and the expertise of a seasoned Charter Captain are included in the price of these multi-hour trips, ideal for families, groups and friends enjoying a Florida vacation at Longboat Key. These tours are not only inclusive and informative, they’re exhilarating and intriguing as well.
This is a singular experience you’ll never want to forget. Thus, many area charters offer photographic services – video and still – perfect for keeping Florida vacation memories to last a lifetime, even if your catch only makes it to dinnertime.
