Written By Brian Crotty

There’s nothing quite like the salty breeze, sun-soaked skies, and sparkling waters of Florida’s Gulf Coast—especially when you’re aboard a luxury yacht, rod in hand, waiting for that first big bite. 

Kokomo Charters has found the answer to your question about things to do in Florida or things to do in Anna Maria in particular. Picture this: You're gliding over the turquoise waters off Anna Maria Island, aboard a sleek, unmarked yacht. The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and you're casting your line into one of the most famous fishing spots in Florida—hooking tarpon, red snapper, redfish, or speckled trout. This is Cruise & Cast, a bespoke blend of leisure and sport designed for anglers of all skill levels.

Set sail on a pristine, private yacht where you’ll enjoy plush seating, shade options, and expert guidance—all while cruising through some of the best fishing waters on the Gulf Coast. Unlike standard charters, Kokomo’s experience is tailored to those who appreciate comfort as much as the catch.
