Captain Isander & Ruth Santiago

What people are saying

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Captain Santiago and Bay2Bay Tours. My husband and I, along with our son and his fiancée, spent a lovely day on an excursion to Egmont Key State Park. Being a licensed captain, our safety was of the utmost importance to Captain Santiago, and we knew we were in great hands from the instant he picked us up. The boat was immaculate, comfortable, and very well equipped. He had everything we needed for a day on the island: snorkeling gear, seashell bags, beach umbrella, frisbee, and more. He waited patiently as we toured the island, which was remarkable in itself! It was way more than we ever expected. We were thrilled with the amount of wildlife we encountered and even got to see a few manatees at play. We purchased the charcuterie package and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious and beautiful charcuterie board that his wife (Ruth) so lovingly prepared…Captain Satiago set up a very nice picnic for us on the boat and made sure we had everything we needed. We were treated like family, and we greatly appreciated how accommodating he was. We highly recommend choosing Bay2Bay Tours. We are already looking forward to another charter with him next year.

Why Bay2Bay Tours?

Exciting. Elegant. Indulging.

I don’t think I can summarize how wonderful Captain Bobby truly is! The service and experience he provides is truly one-of-a-kind. He is so knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful! If he doesn’t know something, he will find out. If he knows it, he will tell you ALL about it. One of the coolest men I have ever met. He is very flexible and catering, which is extremely hard to find and very special. He is the perfect captain to have for first-time visitors and one millionth time visitors, including locals too. He made our experience so special by showing us the wildlife; allowing us to explore the depths of the gulf and bay; and teaching us the incredible history of Anna Maria Island. He makes you want to come back! I will see you soon, my friend. Thank you!

Captain Bobby is an awesome tour guide! We enjoyed every moment of the tour. We highly recommend his service. Wish we had of booked the trip earlier on our trip because he was soooo informative about the area, sea life etc. See you next trip Captain Bobby.

We had an amazing time! Bobby was fantastic with our kids and also giving the adults interesting facts and stories about the island. We will definitely return for another tour.

Incredible girls night sunset pub crawl!! Captain Bobby was awesome, informative and entertaining! Catered the trip to what we really wanted to do. Just perfect!

Captain Bobby and his wife were very pleasant to be with. They were informative, thoughtful and made sure we got to see dolphins, manatees and more! We got dropped off at Shore and enjoyed a delicious lunch as well. If you’re looking for something fun to do with your kids make sure to book Island Hoppers !

Captain Bobby’s sunset dolphin tour was a highlight of our beach vacation. Our 3 kids, ages 8,9, and 14 all agree. He knew just where to go to catch the dolphins swimming. Captain Bobby is very knowledgeable about the areas’ interesting history, about all of the sea life itself, and just had an easy going vibe that we all enjoyed. We will definitely book any future tours through him when we return to AMI.

We really enjoyed our boat tour with Captain Bobby. He's a wealth of knowledge on the water - we learned so much about the island, dolphins, sand dollars, famous ocean/bay view properties, and so much more! Such a unique tour - AND they allowed me to bring my favorite beverages! Highly recommended!

Captain Bobby’s boat tour is amazing!! He is so fun and knowledgeable about boating, marine life, local areas and history ! I would recommend him 100%!! We had 5 adults and one 3 year old and we ALL had a fantastic time! Dolphins 🐬! Sand dollars! Beautiful views, sandbar! He showed us everything we wanted and more!!!

Captain Bobby is an experienced captain and he is knowledgable about the area! He told us a lot of interesting stories. We saw lots of dolphins playing around and we found some sand dollars as well. 10/10 experience!

JENNIFER P.

( via TripAdvisor ) The day with Captain Justin was so awesome! We just did Disney for the first 4 days this week and wrapped it up with some Anna Maria sea salt therapy. Our 3 kids, unanimously, voted the 5 hour fishing/tour trip was by far their favorite day. Above Disney! While we are now sad for our wallets, we couldn’t agree more. We saw ALL the things. From sharks, to stingrays, manatees, dolphins, turtles, crabs etc…Not to mention each kiddo caught 7+ fish in the couple hours we fished. Justin was amazing and great with our family. Truly was an unforgettable day.

sailboat tours anna maria island

(via Google Reviews) We had a 6 hour trip with Captain Blake and it was awesome! Even though the bite was tough he still put us on fish! He was great with my 10 year old daughter, teaching her what to do and helping her all the time. We have been on several charters over the past couple years and Blake sets the standard for what they should all be. 10 out of 10 we will fish with him again and we highly recommend him to anyone.

sailboat tours anna maria island

(via TripAdvisor) My 11 year old son and I had the pleasure of fishing with captain Jake yesterday! We have fished a lot of charters around the country and from start to finish captain Jake was a pro and well seasoned beyond his years. Explanation of techniques and cast placement were bar none. This guy is serious business. We caught over ten species of fish including tripletail, snook, snapper, sea trout etc. From the moment we stepped aboard to departure after filleting we had an amazing experience. Jake knows all the spots and moved accordingly. Visitors of all skill levels should make it a priority to spend the day on the water with this company and guide. His willingness to share stories and info made the day one we won't forget. Thank you AMI Charters and Captain Jake!

Captain Andy was a joy to sell with. I had 2 children with me and he was very accommodating and the children loved him. I was not doing too good with the deep sea so he was very Accommodating and whipped us into the intercoastal Where we sailed up the inner coastal and fished with the children it was wonderful. Definitely a 10 out of a 10!!
