His 30-foot Boca Grande saltwater fishing boat boasts state-of-the-art navigation equipment and essential safety features, ensuring a secure and successful fishing trip. Capt. Jojo believes in making fishing accessible to everyone and welcomes anglers of all ages on board, providing life jackets for added safety. The vessel also offers ample shade and a portable toilet for your convenience.

If you're a novice, he'll gladly introduce you to the art of sportfishing. For those seeking a unique experience, consider spearfishing - Captain Jojo provides all the necessary equipment for you and up to two companions.


Each trip includes top-tier Penn and Shimano rods and reels. Fly fishing lovers are more than welcome to bring their preferred gear along.

Had a couple trips before this wind picked up, and got to run my first trip on the Hatteras! It was only a 6 hour and only found a few tuna but the boat performed amazingly. Lots of great trips ahead!

Joel and Chris were GREAT!! Got us right on the fish and kept us on 'em for about 2 hours. We made quite a haul! Had a great time and would highly recommend Ana Banana Charters.

May 15, 2025

Joel and Chris went above and beyond. They were both excellent with our teenage boys! My family had a blast despite Mother Nature having a mind of her own. They worked hard to get us on fish before the end of the day and we will be back.

had a great time with captain joel and first mate Todd. they kept us on the fish all day. highly recommend fishing with these guys

Wow. The Chandler family of 4 from upstate SC with a 6-10 year old boy had the time of their life. Captain Joel and First Mate Todd are amazing. My 6 year old reeled like an adult and caught fish almost half his weight. Our 10 year old caught so many fish and he has trouble staying focused and never missed a beat. It was great to see him so focus. Captain Joel and First Mate Todd took our 2 boys and fished with them side by side at the back of the boat while my wife and I fished undisturbed. We felt like we had been on a date. My wife enjoys fishing now and we can’t thank these guys enough. You will not be disappointed. We only did a 1/2 day trip and wished we had gone the full day. We are already planning our next trip out when we visit again soon. The best part was the fresh fish we cooked the rest of our stays in the Keys and the amount that we brought home to enjoy months to come!
