Boat Rentals

You can enjoy all the benefits of a home with a boat dock even if you don’t have your own boat! There are several places to rent boats throughout Anna Maria Island, so you can experience the water on your own terms. AMI Adventure Rentals is one of the most popular options, but you can also turn to companies like Coastal Water Sports, H2O Watersportz, Seaduced Watercraft, and Cannons Marina for all your boating needs. Any of these Anna Maria Island boat rentals can provide everything you need for an incredible time on the water, whether you want to fish or simply float along.

Fishing

Speaking of fishing, this sport is one of the best ways to get your family involved in one activity. Anna Maria Island fishing is truly perfect for everyone, from the youngest and newest fishermen in your group to those who have been fishing for years. You can visit an equipment rental company for all your poles and bait, then head to the beach or get on your boat to cast your line. There are also several piers along the island where you can fish, or stay at your rental and fish off your private dock! You can easily get a fishing license online or at a local shop, so you can get on the water right away.

Charter Boats

For the perfect combination of boat rentals and fishing, book an Anna Maria Island boat charter! Companies like M/V Minnow, Green Boat Tours, YOLO Adventures, and more offer boat charters of all kinds. You might be interested in a private fishing charter with an experienced captain, or you might want to book a family-friendly dolphin cruise. The possibilities are truly endless!

Whether you’re spending some quality time with your sweetheart or you’re planning a huge family reunion, there’s an Anna Maria beach rental that’s perfect for your group.
