Sarasota has a fish with your name on it, so let LanierSpots Gulf Charters help you catch it! With Captain Ryan at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide. Capt Ryan has over 20 years of guiding experience and has completed over 4,000 guide trips in that time. 

Depending on the season, you might hook into Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Hogfish, Mangrove Snapper, and who knows what else!

LanierSpots Gulf Charters welcomes kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your boat for the day is a 25' Tidewater bay boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Ryan will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is also included.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Nearshore trips are weather permitting and always inside 10 miles from the coast.  We also cater our trips to your needs. Just tell us what you would like to do on your trip.

We are also doing sandbar trips for the family as well as sunset cruises from Anna Maria Island to Sarasota Bay.  We can incorporate this into your fishing day if you like.  Just ask.
