We had an awesome day aboard the Snapper Addict chartered by Captain Layne. He provided fresh bait, tackle and an all around good time! We were on the fish in no time with nonstop action and caught a mixed bag of gag grouper, lane snapper, porgies, grunts, spanish mackerel, and a few hogfish. We had a blast and made memories to last a lifetime. Upon returning, Layne filleted our catch and stuffed our coolers full! If you're visiting AMI and looking for a knowledgeable local guide for an offshore trip, book a trip with Captain Layne the Snapper Addict!

Read the reviews and booked a 6 hour charter with Snapper Addict for the 6 of us… definitely didn’t disappoint!!! Captain Layne was great and made sure everyone had a great day of fishing. Very personable and knowledgeable, you couldn’t ask for a better fishing experience when down in the area.
Pulled into the marina right before the weather turned and Captain Layne didn’t think twice about filleting all the fish we caught in the middle of a torrential downpour. Consistent to the end!

My husband and I have gone out with Captain Layne twice now and will definitely be going back! Any time we've gone out we've told him what we want to catch and he is spot on! This time we wanted to catch a Hogfish and sure enough we did, along with a nice Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowtails and Grunts. He also managed to safely navigate us around a storm where we got to see 4 water spouts (in the distance of course). He always makes sure we have a good time and are safe. We went home with 3 bags of fish. Always an awesome time and we can't wait to bring our daughter with us next time!

Captain Layne is THE best!!! He took us on an 1/2 day trip in late April. He was at the dock waiting for us when we arrived, left the dock and were literally pulling in fish within 1 hour of leaving the dock!! He cleaned, fileted and bagged up the fish for us when we returned to the dock.
Outstanding experience all the way around! We WILL be back this coming April.

Really unprofessional. Made reservations one month ago. Captain Layne cancels less than 24 hours before trip stating mechanical issues via text message. Would expect better customer service from someone rated so highly. Fishers beware.... left us with no other options to fish sine we are here for the week and all other charters are booked. My ten year old was really looking forward to it as well. I did receive my deposit back but can only wonder if I cancelled less than 24 hours..... I will not rely on you next time.

Trust me the last thing I want is to cancel your trip. My family counts on me to provide. Boats have issues from time to time. I would love to offer you a discounted trip in the future. I have two boys of my own and I know how they look forward to it. I appreciate you taking time to write a review and I am glad it is only bad because of a coincidence and not because you were unhappy with the trip. Let me know what I can do.

My wife, two kids (ages 8 and 10) and I had a fantastic time on our fishing trip with Captain Layne. We did a 6-hour trip and caught a wide variety of fish, including bonita, king mackerel, goliath grouper, grunt and Atlantic sharks. The trip was action packed and we caught more fish than we could eat. Layne was great with my kids who had never been on a charter fishing trip before. The boat is spacious and the bathroom on board is a bonus. He even gave us some swag at the end of the trip (t-shirt, stickers, key chains and koozies. We had a fish fry and made ceviche with the fish we caught and it was delicious! It was one of our best fishing experiences, we would recommend it to anyone (with or without kids), and we hope to go on another trip with Captain Layne the next time we're in Florida. Thank you again! - Craig, Thirza, Daniel & Claire

We recently did a 4 hour trip with Snapper Addict and it exceeded my (high) expectations! Our ages ranged from 12 years to nearly 80, but Captain Layne made sure everyone had a great time and pulled in plenty of fish. I researched every charter company in the area but took the advice of others to go with Snapper Addict. Trust me, take my advice as well! You will get treated well, bring in plenty of fish, and have an adventure to talk about for years. I can't wait to come back to Bradenton. When I do, I will be booking another trip with Snapper Addict, only longer next time! I did my homework and experienced it myself. These guys know exactly where to drop the lines. Save yourself the hassle of doing all the research - just go with Snapper Addict. You will not be disappointed! I cannot recommend them enough!

One of our favorite spring break traditions include fishing with Captain Layne. Layne works hard to ensure everyone in your crew enjoys their day. We had a few inexperienced fisherman for this years trip and Layne worked hard to ensure their first trip out was a success. We caught several different types of fish and really enjoyed our day. Highly recommend if you get the opportunity. Any day is a great day on the water.

We were referred to Captain Layne through our Vrbo host. He was so easy to book with and we had a great day fishing with him. We caught so many fish that we had to through away “keepers” since we already had too much for dinner! We definitely recommend booking with a Snapper Addict. He also recommended a restaurant we could go to for dinner that would cook our catch. Picture included below of the final product!

Layne is a snapper catching kinda dude. He catches snapper all day and eats it all night. I once seen him sail a boat through the Bermuda Triangle and came back smiling like it was child’s play. He makes Captain Dan look like a nerd on prom night. Seriously though Book your fishing trip now, no good story ever begins with I’ll just have a water. Layne is a good captain and a fun dude.

We are coming to AMI from Dec. 28-Jan 4. I have heard that the fish are not biting this time of year. Could you please tell us if you have any luck fishing this time of year and how much it costs per person for a 1/2 or full day.

Can’t answer about the costs but the fish are always biting.

You took me on a fishing charter a little over a year ago with my dad and 2 of my sons. We had a great time. You are a local guy that I feel can be trusted. I am in town again but not looking for a fishing charter. Any chance you have a recommendation for a private charter through the inter coastal? It’s just my wife and I and I know you will steer me in a good direction. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like the question is directed to the owner of Snapper Addict, not me. I was a customer/reviewer. I know nothing about what he is asking

Written July 22, 2015
Sorry had to change my answer as my prices have changed and don't want to have any more confusion. The current prices are on my website and don't wear your Sunday best as we are trying to catch fish that sometimes bleed a lot. All you need is drinks sunscreen and a cooler to take fish home, I have the rest covered!
