    Captain Travis is native to the area.
    Melinda S.

    We were visiting from Texas, staying in the Manasota Key Beach area, and saw a few signs on the side of the road that said: $25.00 Sunset Cruise. We figured out that we could get more information about this sunset cruise inside the Island Court building off Beach Rd. -- who sells fresh seafood and have partnered with the Native Charter Company. They will tell you what cruises are available and take a deposit or full payment. Yes! the cruise is $25.00 per person and they encourage you to tip your captain. Nice deal! NOTE: You will think this promotion is from Allure Boat Rentals, but they are not the same. We booked a Thursday evening sunset cruise. Meet up was 7:30pm, we departed at 7:45 and we returned around 9pm. Water is provided. Captain Travis was an exceptional host, especially since he's native to the area. He was able to tell us about the Lemon Bay ecosystem, the importance of the mangrove and turtle preservation. He showed us an secret oyster bay, pointed out several manatee and dolphins. We really enjoyed our cruise. Sunsets are unpredictable here. There's no guarantee you will get to experience one, but we were fortunate enough to see one :) The boat was beautiful! She's kept very clean, seats were comfortable and safe. We had a great time and I highly recommend you try them.

    Excellent tour. Saw dolphins as promised! Very reasonably priced. Also they took pictures of us for us and the dolphins. May try the sunset cruise next!!!

    We have used Native Charters the last few years with my young boys for dolphin tours. It is BY FAR the highlight of our trip every year! The father/son duo run a great business-very friendly, knowledgeable about Lemon Bay, and super accommodating to get you out on the water!!

    My husband called right away and worked out a mutual time with Captain Travis for the very next morning.

    We booked the Platinum level Yacht for a 4 hour trip. The staff was very helpful during the…read morebooking, giving us great flexibilty on pickup times. We decided to leave in the morning and stay out until early afternoon. The yacht showed up in the designated dock right on time in Turtle Beach. The ship Captain, Carlos, was very helpful in creating a great trip even though we were travelling during a Red Tide event in Siesta Keys area. Captain Carlos took us out to a sandbar which was not as effected by the Red Tide and we spent some time in the ocean before getting back on the boat. We had told Carlos that we were really hoping to encounter some dolphins on our trip and he was very knowledgeable about where the Dolphins like to hang out. We found a couple of dolphins hanging out in a small cove he recommended and it was an incredible experience as the dolphins followed the yacht for around 15 minutes and jumped and played in the boats wake. Truelly an amazing experience. Would highly recommend this company to others.

The Crew was amazing attentive to our every need. We brought in a caterer so there was plenty of food and drink!

    We went out with Captain McLaughlin and his mate last summer and we had the best fishing experience…read moreI think I have ever had. While the large fish like giant grouper decided not to bite that day, we still caught near 100 fish. The crew was extremely accommodating and fun to be around. If you are in the area, I would most definitely recommend Capt. McLaughlin. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely look to him first.

    I've been fishing for a long time and I've been out with many guides from all over the world but…read morethis is the first time I felt compelled to write a review. Another Keeper Charters, specifically Capt. Tom McLaughlin and his mate Brandon were about as good as they come. They put us on so many damn fish over the course of the day that we could barely reel them in anymore. I'm not talking about small fish, I'm talking about HUGE fish! Amberjack, jack trevally, barracuda, permit and several Goliath Grouper that were the size of mini cooper's with fins! Their knowledge of the area, fish, tackle etc was remarkable. My girlfriend is a beginner at fishing and they had her cranking in giant fish in no time. One of the best things about fishing with these guys is that they were having just about as much fun as we were . There is nothing worse than spending the day out on a boat with some cranky, salty old dog who's staring at his watch all day because he doesn't feel like "working". Don't get me wrong, these guys worked their ass off but the guys at Another Keeper clearly love what they do and it shows. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with these guys. Bring a camera and be prepared for the trip of a lifetime!
