The Premier Longboat Key Fishing Experience
Longboat Key stretches between Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, bordered to the north by Longboat Pass — one of the area’s most reliable spots for moving water and feeding fish. From Beer Can Island at the north tip to the mangrove shoreline of Jewfish Key just inside the pass, and out across the open grass flats of Sarasota Bay, these waters hold Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Seatrout, and a local fishing guide who reads the passes turns a good day into a great one.
Captain David White knows how the Longboat Key tides fish, from light-tackle snook fishing in Longboat Key along the shoreline to world-class tarpon fishing in Longboat Key off the beaches in late spring and summer. Charter fishing in Longboat Key, FL is geared to exactly what you want — a relaxed day on the flats or a big-game battle just off the sand.
Easy Access from Longboat Key
We launch every trip from one home dock — the public boat ramp at 6398 Marina Way in Holmes Beach, just down the road from the Kingfish Boat Ramp. From Longboat Key, FL it’s a short drive north up Gulf of Mexico Drive across the neighboring barrier islands, roughly 20–30 minutes, keeping your travel time minimal and your time on the water maximized.
