We had a great trip early yesterday morning. One of us caught 6 species of fish! Adding my stingray catch made 7 species caught. This was a wonderful morning and Bryan was good as a host and guide.

I have fished with Captain Bryan Galasso for two years now. We fish out of Siesta Key/Sarasota since I moved here two years ago. I have fished all over the world for all kinds of species. All, I can say is he is a great Captain and knows how to fish. He is professional, polite, fun, always willing to teach and plays good music. Most important of all, he always has a ton of great live bait and we always catch a ton of fish. Like they say on Hawaii Five-O, Bookem Dano!!

Awesome morning with Captain Bryan. Got on the fish immediately and wore them out. Switched to snook and it was constant action. Really good guy. I would definitely fish with him again.

Capt Bryan is amazing! I suggested a northern friend do some Florida fishing while they looked for a retirement home in the area. This was exactly the ticket! 4 hours of non stop action. Bryan had waters ice and all the bait one could imagine. Right away let me hook up to blue tooth and play my tunes… great start! He then willing taught my friend everything they needed to know and made sure they were catching fish and having fun. The boat is set up nicely to fish with power poles and trolling motor. He even has an umbrella if shade is a must for you.
I fished till my shoulder hurt! As I reeled in he was handing me another pole…. Speed fishing ?? For any level fisherman this is a great experience to get out on the water and pull up some creatures!
Thank you Bryan for cleaning the fish and everything else. Everyone had a blast

Had a rough start to our first day of fishing with Captain Bryan. But he stayed with it stayed patient and was determined to get us on top of the prize Tarpon that we were looking for. Four hours later we finally hooked a 200 pound+ Tarpon. What a great experience it took us over two hours to bring him to the boat but with captain Bryan’s help we finally did it. It was awesome. Biggest Tarpon we had ever caught. We didn’t hook the fish till almost the end of our first day, but once hooked he stayed with it and helped us land this prize.
The second day we were out for some simple bay fishing we caught snook, trout, snapper and jacks it was a great day we caught over 30 fish in four hours
Captain Brian was the best. He’s determined. is professional. We had great equipment plenty of bait and we caught fish from start to finish.
If you have the opportunity to book Captain Bryan don’t hesitate. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned angler he will help you catch fish and have a great time.
I can’t wait to fish with him again and enjoy the experience with my grandkids

After our first 4 hour trip we booked another one for the next day. (I really don't need to say much more!) Day 1 we were out for Tarpon and boy did we get a big one. The picture does not do this 200 pound beast justice. After nearly a 2 hour fight we got him boat side and were all ready for a break. Day -2 in shore we caught a huge variety of fish and brought home some great dinner! (Snapper, Trout, Jack, Snook...) Bryan is great! Gets you to the spots and gives you guidance as needed, but also lets you fish. Local knowledge is critical in finding fish and Bryan has a lifetime of Sarasota water ways wisdom.
HIGHLY RECOMMNEDED!

As an avid fisherman, I decided to take my wife and two teenage kids on an inshore fishing trip with Capt. Bryan to show them how much fun fishing could be, and we were not disappointed. It was one of the best trips I have ever been on. Bryan’s equipment and boat were perfect! Within 15 mins, Bryan put us on top of fish and kept us on top of fish all day. He maneuvered the boat into perfect positioning and moved with the tide! This is not a fish story, there were 4 of us fishing and at least one of us had a fish on at all times. As soon as one fish was released, another was being caught! We brought in Reds, Snapper, Barracuda, Specs, Jacks, Snook and my wife caught a 100 pound Tarpon! In short we had the inshore tri-fecta! Bryan was top notch from start to finish and even cleaned the fish and dropped us off at our car. Could not ask for anything more and I would highly Recommend to Captain Bryan!

Captain Bryan knew where to hook us up! Fished several spots around Sarasota Bay and hit the “inshore slam” before lunch! I’ve fished several charters and Brian was by far the most knowledgeable and attentive Captain I’ve had so far. He even cleaned & expertly filleted the fish before going back to the docks, can’t wait to cook all the fish we caught! Great day on the water with my family, highly recommend!

Captain Bryan was awesome, and his experience on the water really showed during our trip. Captain Bryan welcomed us aboard his boat, he was super friendly, explained everything that was going on when the fish strikes the bait and what to do to keep the fish on the line. We were catching fish nonstop for the entire 4 hour charter, and when it was over Captain Bryan cleaned the fish for us. Its pretty easy to see that Captain Bryan loves being out on the water and his enthusiasm for fishing is highly contagious. Definitely gonna give him a call the next time I’m in Florida.

We had the best time with Captain Bryan! He taught us so much about fishing. Us newbies actually caught fish - tons of fish! He knew the best spots and was very helpful as we got the hang of it. The boat was clean and we felt safe with Captain Bryan. We loved how all we had to do was hop on the boat and have fun!

My family and I have fished off Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida coasts for Blue Fish, Spanish Mackeral, Sharks, Grouper, and many other species. It so happened that we were able to spend some time in Sarasota. We were apprehensive at first. However, communications with the Captain Bryon were quick and professional. On June 24, 2020, we met Captain Bryan and he went over the safety requirements and we were off. Within 10 minutes we were on fish. We moved when the Snook slowed and kept catching Snook (which we released) and some reef size Mangrove Snapper (15+ inches). We fished different areas and were able to see the beautiful waters and homes around Sarasota and Siesta Key. At one point we got into a school of Jack Crevalles with everyone hooking one. What a fun, fighting fish. On the last spot we caught some Jacks and a barracuda, Captain Bryan was professional, took time to explain the local topography, answered any questions that my sons had, and showed a lot of patience with us. Overall, it was the best fishing charter we ever went on and we highly recommend Captain Bryan.

We went out with captain Brian, He made sure we all got into fish, that we could keep all the fish we wanted (measured any fish even close to regulation) He was very patient with the kids and was a fantastic guide. Thank you, we will be back.

We scheduled a half day trip with Captain Brian. This particular trip was with my Grandson who was visiting from South Carolina. I had a previous trip in February with my son who was visiting from Michigan. Once again Brian delighted us with a delightful experience.
Captain Brian took a lot of time to fish multiple sites and spent a lot of time with my Granndson explaining fishing and casting techniques that netted an amazing experience.
Captain Brian has amazing skills and energy that made my second trip even more amazing than the first. I highly recommend Captain Brian!

Captain Brian Delivers!
My brother, 13 year old Godson and I went for a 6-hour morning trip and had an absolute blast. We stopped to jig for bait and was able to catch a few for bait before heading out to deeper water. At the first spot we hooked up immediately. All three of us consistently caught fish. We covered multiple spots and landed fish at every location. The trip ended with a Hammerhead Shark showing up. My Godson hooked up and fought it on light tackle before loosing it. Incredible! great way to end the trip. We ended up with a cooler full of fish. Brian recommended we take it to one of the local restaurants and they would prepare. We had an excellent dinner with the rest of the family and have plenty left. Thanks Brian! I can’t recommend Brian enough!

Capt Bryan was AWESOME! I booked this trip while we were visiting Siesta Key and we couldn’t be happier. My husband, Dad and 10 year old son can’t stop talking about what a fantastic day they had with Bryan! He was a ton of fun and extremely knowledgeable and passionate…you can tell he LOVES his career. Thank you again;)! Highly recommend!!?

Capt. Brian got all of us hooked up on shook and grouper and kept us hooked up. We have been on many other charters in and around Siesta Key/Sarasota and Brian was the best by far. Not only did he keep our lines tight, he taught us the best way to catch them. I would only recommend Capt. Brian to anyone who is looking to learn from the best, have fun, and catch a lot of exceptional fish. Tight lines!

Started at 8am, about 9 miles off shore. Started to mop them up right away. Captain Brian knew the locations, species, and techniques needed to have a great day of fishing. We hooked into a couple in open water fly fishing. Lost them after a hard fight. Overall it was a great experience, and we would love to return.

It was a wonderful trip and our captain, Brian, couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. He was great with our 13 and 5-year-old grandsons. We all enjoyed the boating itself as much as the fishing. Great fun for all. THANK YOU!!!

Great half day with Captain Brian, my daughter Lesley and 27” Cobia. We went out with dear friends in town with us for a wedding. Great experience for the price for four people. Captain also recommended Boatyard Bar & Grill, who cooked the other fish caught ( trout & mackerel). Thanks folks!
