I went on 2 charters with Captain Alex. The 1st was last month to Anclote Key Lighthouse. Unless…read moreyou own or have a generous friend who has a boat, this is the least expensive way to visit the lighthouse with enough time allotted for climbing the lighthouse. The lighthouse is only open for climbing on certain days of the year. These open days are subject to change due to weather and adverse conditions which is why I needed the 2nd charter to the lighthouse. I had a 2nd charter this past weekend. On both charters, Captain Alex was laid back, friendly, and hospitable. He has great info about the area and is open to answering questions. His boat could hold gear or kayaks in the front if need be. Captain Alex cannot beach or dock at Anclote Key as there is an annual fee for that. He will drop you off in knee deep water and wait for you while you explore the island. It is a small drop from the boat, so keep this in mind if you have any injuries to you lower body. The other boats I saw did not beach or dock at Anclote Key either. We had an hour to explore Anclote Key. We saw dolphins while going to and coming from the lighthouse. After leaving the lighthouse, we viewed the sponge docks which was an added treat. If you are wanting to visit Anclote Lighthouse during a time when the lighthouse is open, I would highly recommend using South Wind Charters!

He knows where to go, keeps your line in the water 99% of the time and is just plain full of interesting fish facts as he's been fishing the area all his life. He's the 5th generation, born and raised in the area plus has fished all over the world but loves Tarpon Springs best. His boat is small but efficient, clean and perfect for getting you in areas that other big boats cannot. My husband, grandson (19) and i fished with him today from Tarpon Springs. We did a four hour trip. We had a great experience thanks to Corey's knowledge of the area and his persistent attitude. You could tell he enjoyed seeing us catch fish. It was windy and cool but we persuaded him to take us out and with his help, we caught a whole bunch of fish! 3 Snook 5 Sea Trout 1 Red fish And a few turns! Anyway, the guy next to him seemed good too but Corey's boat is clean and he's sweet. Thank you Corey for an amazing day!

From Start to finish, it felt like we were sailing with family and not just "some charter." Our journey included sailing out to an island where we were able to get off of the boat and swim in the warm and crystal clear water and explore the island... then we had lunch and were off sailing along the beautiful coast where we spotted dolphins in the distance! Captain Jerzy turned up the music and changed course a bit so he could raise a very colorful sail which seemed to attract even more dolphins right alongside the boat! My kids were overjoyed at the sight of dolphins racing along with us and it made for wonderful memories. The kids even got to steer the boat and learn how to properly tie the lines down on the boat. They were still talking about it to all of their friends well after we got back home from our trip. Thank you Captain Jerzy for such a wonderful experience!! We'll definitely be seeing you again the next time we visit! The kids can't stop talking about "The Captain!"
