Cortez Cat Charters, Bradenton

on vacation from england had a brilliant days fishing, captain put us on the fish straight away, crew were helpful and good value for money, good all round package much better than previous trips with other charters, big thanks from neil max and jon (cumbria england)

Just go to the City pier and you'll catch the same thing or better. They're only gonna get you catch and release fish, nothing big. Added to that the 4 hr fishing trip only gets you 2 hrs of fishing.

I'm a fishing girl from Key West, so when we saw the Cortez Cat we desided to try it. We caught tons of fish including grouper(mostly reds), trigger, flounder, king, and grunts. From the time we got anchored until we left we never put our polls down. We reeled in fish in like crazy. The polls and bait were ready to use. If you had a problem with your poll a new one was handed to you right away. The crew was great. Very nice and never talked bad about past costumers or other charters. They want you to catch fish. There was no moving to other spots. We loved our first trip we went again just 5 days later. Both times we left with over 50 fish. For this price you really can't beat the service. Planning on going again once grouper season opens again.

I've been on over 100 party boats in 20 years and Cortez Cat is one of the most memorable. The price is so worth it- Its like a charter but a party boat too. We caught fish after fish - 5 gallon buckets full of snapper. We jumped on the chance to go right back out the next day on another trip. The captain & mate couldn't be better. We also had the dolphins follow the boat for awhile too- and it just really topped the trip off. I only wish i can find a deal like this in marathon this year.

I liked the fact that I personally caught about 30 fish. The mate was very good and the captain was great. They made our day very enjoyable. The whole boat of 12 passengers caught alot of fish-sharks, snappers, grouper . They even cleaned our fish at no charge. For the price , what a deal.

I shot some fantastic video of the dolphin that was jumping behind the boat. What an exciting trip. We'll be booking the Egmont Key trip next time we visit Florida.

Excellent trip!! Friendly service. Family oriented.
