Capt Tino and his mate Neil get full 5 stars - they provided an amazing fishing experience for my 14 year old son and his friends. They located a great spot where there were lots of fish.
Great conversations with the captain and his mate - I will definitely be returning for a longer trip of 6 to 8 hours soon.
Thanks Capt Tino and Neil!

Our family doesn't go out with anyone but Chart Boat Shark! My kids learned deep sea fishing from Neal over the years. We have never NOT caught fish in the 19 years we have been on the Gulf with them. This year I learned how to prepare and enjoy Bonita - YUM! In the past we have enjoyed Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and lots of varieties of Snapper. Whether a 6 hour trip or all day, it's a good day on the water!

Only outfit in Sarasota we use. We’ve been out wit them at least 10x and always caught fish, fish and more fish. Captain Tino and first mate Neil are amazing and you and your family will create lasting memories with them. Highly recommend for experts and newbies alike. Tino’s “southern charm” is one of a kind!!!
