Three generations of Nolfi boys had an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Josh at Best…read moreCoast Fishing Charter and it truly could not have been better! Captain Josh was absolutely AWESOME from start to finish. He was hands-on (and BUSY) all day baiting hooks, taking fish off, making sure everyone was having a great time, and even cleaning our catch so we could take it home. (Which, by the way, turned into the BEST fish tacos I've ever had!) The highlight of the trip was when he put us right on a school of redfish. For three straight hours it was nonstop action. We hit our limit in about 5 minutes, and then spent the rest of the time catching and releasing some absolute monsters. Our biggest was 34", and we easily landed 25+ fish overall! If you're thinking about booking a trip, don't hesitate! Captain Josh is the real deal. We'll definitely be back!

Eric does a great job; he works hard to provide a good experience for his customers. He is personable, hard working, and patient with young and old alike; and really knows his stuff. Also very good with those with not much fishing experience. And he will put you on the fish. Eric will tailor the day based on your needs. In our case three hours was ideal. Would not hesitate to recommend Eric to anyone looking for a fishing charter in the Sarasota area.

I booked a 90 minute dolphin tour because I was afraid my children might get bored, but I promise you that you that even the smallest child will be entertained the entire time. Captain Joey is an incredible storyteller and his Coast Guard and Mote Aquarium background means that he is incredible knowledgeable about all of the aquatic treasures and beautiful homes the area has to offer. Truly everyone on our tour age four to seventy had a great time. My very finicky nine-year old daughter's review: "I know it's his job to tell us stuff but he does it in a really fun way." The boat was very comfortable, communication was seamless, and I felt like we got a personalized tour versus a big box experience. Sweet Sunsets & Dolphins Tour is veteran-owned AND locally-owned.
