For your Sarasota boat rental, set sail from Lands End Marina, north of Tampa Bay.
Lands End Marina
Lands End Marina is a popular launching area with lots of bars and restaurants all around the Circles Waterfront. Have a meal of fried calamari or coconut shrimp before sailing off to do some fishing of your own.
Fish the Wrecks
Around the wrecks, you can fish for grouper, amberjack, cobia, shark, and barracuda. Sarasota has several wrecks just offshore that are good places to find these types of fish. Set sail from Sarasota and visit shipwrecks off Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, Siesta Key, and Longboat Key.
Boat Fishing
If you want to catch dolphin, tarpon, or grouper, you’ll find some of the best deep-sea fishing in the world on Florida’s Gulf Coast if you can get out on the water early before the break of the day.
Simply anchor your boat offshore at Siesta Key and enjoy the beaches, which have been rated some of the best in the entire country. When you spend your time out in nature on a Sarasota boat rental, you’ll make some incredible memories.
You’ll find Longboat Key just south of Anna Maria Island, between Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Sail your Sarasota boat rental to Longboat Key and check out the beautiful houses and beaches. The high-end development here makes this one of the most expensive places to live in Florida.
Take your Sarasota boat rental to Osprey and explore the waters around the pier. Sometimes you can net fish from the beach or grass flats in the area. Explore the deeper edges of the flats and the sandbars that surround them.
