Weather in Sarasota

Always keep in mind the weather when planning your yacht rental experience.

Located just above the tropical divide, the winters range in the 70°s and summers in the 90°s, there's no wrong time to visit. While it may rain frequently in Sarasota, the storms are almost always scattered and very short in duration, often times only lasting a few minutes and then the sun is shining again. If you're traveling to Sarasota in the cooler months of the year, be sure to pack some layers to wear while on your boating trip, especially if you plan to go yachting in the evening. If you're traveling during the summer months, remember to stay hydrated and take some extra precautions when it comes to sun care.

When planning to rent a yacht in Sarasota, your Captain will keep an eye on the weather patterns. The Captain will warn you of any weather that could cause your yacht charter to be cancelled, rescheduled, or departure time pushed back. Safety is always our top priority.

Hi, I’m Captain John Gerhardt. I am a U. S. Coast Guard Licensed, Master Captain 50 GRT Coastal. I’ve been a “water baby” since birth. I was born in Chicago, where I spent my summers on Lake Michigan learning to swim and sail. I moved to Sarasota, Florida at the age of eight and had the privilege of living and growing up on the offshore islands of both Siesta and Casey Keys at Sarasota Bay. I found that I had salt water “in my blood” as I grew up motorboating, sailing, skin-diving, crabbing and spearfishing.   READ MORE…

Fishing in Palm Harbor

SKINNY WATER PURSUITS OF TIGHT LINES & GOOD TIMES What do we mean by "SKINNY WATER PURSUITS"? We usually fish in a foot or less of water, stalking these fish up on the flats of Saint Joseph Sound and Tampa Bay. Sight fishing is one of the most exciting and effective ways to fish our waters. On our fishing charters our goal is to keep that rod bent and the drag screaming all day. Your Captain will be on the polling platform, pushing you through the flats and calling out fish to you. "11 o'clock, 50 feet, swimming left" is a good example of the direction you will hear. Then it's up to you to make the cast and hang on! We fish light tackle, & everything feels like a monster! Our fishing charters focus on skinny water sight fishing, primarily with artificial baits on spinning gear or fly fishing. We cruise around on a 1998 Hell's Bay Whipray, hull #38. This is the hull that started it all. This skiff was crafted by the legend Flip Pallot's hands and vision. She has been completely restored and updated with some modern comforts like Aquatraction and a trolling motor. This is one of the best poling skiffs in the world. We can get where most skiffs cannot, so it's just us & the fish. What it's all about! Man, I love what I do! Being a guide for me is an excuse to fish with new friends and give them the bow time they have been longing for. Sight fishing for Florida's top inshore species is an addiction and gets your blood pumping! It is similar to hunting where you have to pay close attention, read your surroundings while stalking these fish to take advantage of opportunities. Going after snook, Tarpon, and big Redfish are just a few of the targets you will see on each trip. Sight fishing the flats is a challenge with some big rewards and my clients absolutely love it! I love the history of fishing here in Florida. I grew up watching Flip on the Walker's Cay Chronicles and José Wejebe, dreaming that one day I would have a chance to be a guide. That's why I wanted a skiff with a storied past and deep roots in the Florida fishing scene. The team that started Hell's Bay really changed the game. Not only with the Whipray but also with what they were able to do in that revolutionary skiff. I feel that heritage every time I get in Hull #38. She has been upgraded but there is still has plenty of her vintage personality shining through. I hope to see you on the bow of the skiff soon! Read More

She comes fitted with all the necessary safety equipment, including an EPIRB, and the captain is fully CPR-trained, for that extra peace of mind. When out on the fish, try bottom dropping, popping the tops, or trolling while you drift along. With the latest Penn rods and reels, you’ll have the best chance of hooking some of these tough-fighting species aboard. Battle it out with the notorious Snook, along with Redfish, and Seatrout. While you’ll also go after a range of tasty fish to fill up your fridge. Take home Sheepshead, Tripletail, Snapper, and Mackerel, among many more. At the end of your trip, Captain Juan will clean and prepare your catch for you to take home for a delicious dinner, and beyond! With water provided and your license taken care of, all that’s left for you to do is bring some snacks and drinks aboard and get ready for a productive day with Captain Juan. An incredible day’s inshore fishing in stunning surroundings awaits! **Captain Juan requires a 48 hour advance on bookings.

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.
