We caught all kinds of species. We did a 4 hour tour and it was perfect. We will be doing this again:)Posted on Florida HouseNovember 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve done 10+ trips with Captain Rachel and 5+ trips with other captains around Tampa and Captain Rachel is the best by far. She’s the consummate professional, great with novice and experience angler’s, families and guy trips. I’ve learned and enjoyed every trip, and she’s always put us on fish!Posted on Mike HNovember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent charter captain! I can't say enough good things about our charter with Capt Rachel. As soon as we stopped to fish offshore, we were on the fish, catching several mackerel. Then we were catching snapper. Captain Rachel was really friendly and ensured our hooks were baited quickly, either after catching a fish or after losing it to a strike. She also provided instructions on how to cast a fishing rod properly to this novice fisherman. We ended up catching both grouper and trout as well. Upon returning to the dock, Captain Rachel cleaned and filleted the fish for us. Best time fishing I've had in years. Book a charter. You won't be sorry. Thank you, Captain Rachel!Posted on Chase DankelOctober 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Rachel is the BEST.

Awesome captain, a joy to fish with!Posted on Bobbi VogelSeptember 27, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Only fun and rewarding memories fishing with Captain Rachel. We have fished with our favorite Captain a couple times each year, for almost nine years. Taking our grandson with us, he has learned about inshore and offshore fishing, as a beginner age 6 to an almost teenager, avid fisherman. Highly recommend this knowledgeable, caring captain.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

More About Anna Maria Island Fishing Charter
Do I Need a Fishing License For My Anna Maria Island Fishing Charter?
No – you do not need a fishing license when fishing with Captain Rachel. The boat carries licenses for all passengers.
What Do I Need to Bring For My Anna Maria Island Fishing Charter?
For a day on the water it is important to bring:
- Suncreen
- Sunglasses
- Hat or Visor
- Any Drinks or Snacks You Want
If you are looking for some tips from someone who spends every day on the water, we suggest:
Wide Brim Hat – They provide their own source of shade. If you are going to wear a wide brim hat, it is a good idea to wear one with a chin strap as it can get windy when traveling from spot to spot while we fish.
We like: Simms Sombrero and the Columbia Bora Bora Booney Hat
Fishing Buff – Hey, are you going to look cool wearing a fishing buff? No, but you will look like a pro out there on the water. A good buff will provide you ultimate sun protection and help you avoid wind burn as well. You won’t be alone out on the water with your BUFF, that we can promise you. Anglers and outdoor enthusiasts of all activities are now wearing a neck gaiter (BUFF), sometime instead of using sunscreen.
You can find endless color choices and patters at the BUFF store on Amazon.com
UV Hoodie – More and more anglers are adopting UV protective hoodies for all day fishing. New technology allows for these hoodies to be incredibly lightweight and offer excellent UV protection at the same time. If you want to keep your hoodie for other outdoor activities – maybe go with the Simms. But if you truly love fishing – go with the HUK!
HUK Pursuit Performance Hoodie
UV Projection Pants – Yes, you can wear shorts with sunscreen and many people opt for shorts on our fishing charters. But now may be the time to discover something the fly fishing community has known for years – UV Fishing Pants.
You can get an inexpensive pair from KastKing on Amazon
Or if you can stretch a little bit, HUK makes excellent fishing pants.
