Captain Brandon was beyond words AWESOME!!!! His knowledge about the Tarpon Springs area and water navigation during periods of inclement weather was impressive and enlightening. This was my 6yr old sons first boating and fishing experience and to say he had a blast would be an understatement!!! Brandon was so kind, patient and honestly treated my son as if he was his own. Taking him step by step teaching him to drop the boat anchor and secure the boat; how to steer the boat; how to “fish” with a net; how to cast a fishing pole and helping him to catch his first big fish!! We found lots of cool shells, saw a dolphin, a manatee, a blue clawed crab, star fish, pink sand, driftwood, sponges, plankton, a chomping scallop, and a rainbow that seriously lasted for well over an hour plus!!! The list just goes on and on!! My son knows a lot of facts about animals and most adults don’t take the time to really listen and engage for an extended period of time with such a young child….. Brandon listened intently and engaged with him exactly where he was at. This trip was beyond what I could have ever asked for….Watching my son experience all of the above and then some was a priceless gift that as a mother I will be forever grateful for!! If you are looking for an awesome adventure with a knowledgeable and kind soul- look no further!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!!

Nothing but amazing experience! We booked a Sunset Cruise with Anclote Charters and enjoyed our three hour private boat tour. Captain Brandon was awesome! Very knowledgeable and with such a professional approach. Our family felt very comfortable on board of the boat and enjoyed the sunset views from two different private islands and got to see dolphins from upclose. We highly recommend it and would do it again!
