Sarasota County, FL

Staying in Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, or North Port? You’re within easy reach of prime Gulf flats and bays. Skinny Water Charters runs year-round inshore and nearshore trips tuned to local tides and bait: snook along docks and mangroves, redfish across oyster bars, speckled trout over grass flats, plus seasonal shots at tarpon, Spanish mackerel, kingfish, and cobia when the bait schools stack up. Clearwater departures keep the logistics simple and get you on productive water fast.

Every trip is fully outfitted and family friendly: licenses, quality tackle, live bait, ice, and post-trip fish cleaning included. Beginners get a relaxed, confidence-building plan; experienced anglers get a focused hunt with sight-fishing when conditions allow. Choose half, three-quarter, or full day and we’ll match the plan to your goals, weather, and the bite window.
