My family had a great experience renting from H2O watersportz. The website says 9:15-1:15 or…read more1:15-5:15 but there is more flexibility off season, so call and ask. If youre coming from Anna Maria, it's the first left over the bridge, so be ready to turn. We rented a fishing pole and bought some shrimp from Annie's bait shop next door (didn't catch anything though). If you fish, I think you need a Florida fishing license, which non residents can get for $17 online and it's good for 3 days. Dale programmed dolphin and fishing and sandbar spots into the GPS. It was easy to find them and stop. The only reason I gave 4 stars is price. Currently, other companies say they will deliver for a full day rental for the same cost as 4 hours at H20.

However, there weren't enough sign ups and we received adequate notice and a refund of the difference if we chose to 4.5 hr (which we did). The next day, unfortunately the trip was cancelled because of weather but we received a call shortly after business hours opened to reschedule. The day day went off without a hitch! We left exactly at 8 and set sail to find the fish. We caught 16 to take home in our group of 2 adults and a small child. Take homes were all snapper, but we did catch other fish (just not big enough or not something we wanted to keep). The trip was more boating than fishing, but perfect for us with the kiddo. And I can't compliment the staff enough! They were on top of it and so much help. Yes the speaker needs work, but you could get the gist and the crew made sure you had all the help you needed. If I was back in Sarasota I would definitely go out again!
