What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fishing Charter Captain URGENTLY HIRING position at AMI Charter Fishing?
We are looking for licensed, dependable captains to run family-friendly inshore charters around Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach and the surrounding waters.
This is a hands-on role for someone who actually knows the area, enjoys working with people, and takes pride in running a clean, safe boat.
About the Job
You’ll be running 2–4 hour inshore/nearshore fishing charters focused on fun, education, and solid fishing. Most trips are families, tourists, and first-timers — not always hardcore tournament anglers. Your job is to put people on fish and give them a great experience.
We run skiffs, fish local flats, channels, docks, and nearshore structure, and keep things relaxed but professional.
What We’re Looking For
- Valid USCG Captain’s License (6-pack minimum)
- Strong local knowledge of Anna Maria / Tampa Bay inshore waters
- Comfortable handling skiffs in shallow water
- Confident with tides, seasons, bait, and species
- Great with people — especially kids and beginners
- Safety-minded and reliable (showing up matters here)
- Clean record and insurable
Bonus Points If You
- Can teach while you fish
- Know how to read a group and adjust the trip
- Take pride in your boat and gear
- Understand this is hospitality and fishing
Schedule & Pay
- Part-time or full time, with plenty of opportunities
- Pay starting at $25 per hour tips (tips are usually solid)
- Flexible schedule, busiest during season, holidays and weekends
Why Work With Us
- Laid-back but professional operation
- No ego, no drama
- Well-maintained boats and gear
- Clear expectations and support
- Room to grow as we expand
If you’re a local captain who knows these waters and enjoys putting smiles on people’s faces, we’d love to talk.
