Fourth‑generation captain who knows these waters
Captain Logan was raised on Anna Maria Island and fishes these waters year‑round as both a charter and commercial fisherman, bringing deep local knowledge to every private trip.
Fully private, customized charters
Trips are private and tailored to the day’s best bite — from family outings to focused angling — with premium fishing gear provided and options set by the captain.
Fish cleaned and bagged at trip end
At the end of the day the captain cleans and bags your catch so you can leave with fresh fillets, and there’s an optional stop at a waterfront restaurant if you prefer to break for lunch.
What the day feels like

The trip is hands‑on for anglers and ends with the captain preparing your catch for the trip home.
