5.00Captain Bill made sure we had a good time, he is very knowledgeable and helpful. We had some big rain clouds forming and he got the boat moving nice and fast to find another spot! We caught (and released )some interesting fish and also 3 baby bonnet head sharks! Highly recommend!

5.00Our Fathers Day fishing trip was excellent. Capt Bill and First Mate Nancy knew exactly where to find great fishing, and they were a real joy with my grandkids! We'll be out in the Sarasota Bradenton waters again soon!

5.00Captain Bill was awesome. Everyone caught fish but me. However, I think I had more fun than anyone. Couldn’t stop smiling, we caught red grouper, gag grouper, sharks and some other fish. I can’t remember their name! Awesome time. Highly recommend
Absolutely amazing experience!

5.00I did this as a gift to my boys and fiancé! They had a great time with the crew! Caught some amazing fish, saw some dolphins and sea turtles and enjoyed the scenery! From the middle of Minnesota to the ocean made it a trip they’ll never forget! They couldn’t speak any higher off the crew! Very knowledgeable and great captain! Thanks again! They’ll be back next year and the years to come!
Great experience!!

5.00We have been on the skyway fishing tours a few times so far, Always caught fish and even seen some manatees. Stingrays and dolphins, which was an added bonus. Beautiful day just being out on the water. Captain bill and first mate Nancy are very knowledgeable and just fun to be around. I highly suggest Going Out on the water. With these guys, we will be back again for sure, see you soon.
