Confirm current food, drink, and gratuity guidance in your booking details.
What if the weather is bad?
The captain may adjust the departure time or fishing plan, choose more protected water, reschedule, or cancel when conditions are unsafe. Confirm the weather and refund terms shown for your date during checkout.
What is your cancellation policy?
The current FishingBooker listing shows free cancellation with at least three days’ notice. Review and confirm the cancellation terms shown during checkout because the policy can change.
What kind of fish do you catch on Siesta Key?
The captain chooses water and tactics around your private group, trip length, weather, season, and current regulations. Potential Sarasota and Siesta Key targets include:
- Mangrove snapper
- Sheepshead
- Spotted sea trout
- Flounder
- Snook
- Sea bass
- Spanish mackerel
- Jack crevalle
- Redfish
- Grouper
- Pompano
- Sharks
- Black drum
No particular species, size, legal keeper, or number is promised.
Where do we meet the boat?
Our published Siesta Key meeting point is 946 Siesta Dr, Sarasota, FL 34242. Your confirmation will include the exact pickup instructions for your trip. Please use the location in that confirmation rather than arriving at an unconfirmed dock.
What does the fish guarantee cover?
The live booking listing advertises a catch guarantee, but the current remedy and exclusions still need to be confirmed. It does not promise a particular species, size, legal keeper, or number of fish. Ask for the terms before checkout.
