Meet the Captain
Captain Mark Maloney
Anna Maria Island Fishing Charter
Gulf Goats Charters is owned and operated by Captain Mark Maloney, a third-generation fisherman with deep roots in Anna Maria Island and the greater St. Petersburg area. His passion for fishing started young—at just eight years old, he was already taking friends out in a small Jon boat with a Zebco 202 in hand. Today, with over 15 years of professional experience, Captain Mark continues to share that same enthusiasm by guiding guests on productive and enjoyable fishing trips across Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Specializing in both inshore and offshore fishing, Captain Mark caters to anglers of all levels. Families, beginners, and seasoned fishers alike can look forward to well-organized trips backed by local insight and years of knowledge. Gulf Goats Charters focuses on creating relaxed, memorable experiences, whether you’re casting lines along the flats or heading farther out for larger species. With a welcoming atmosphere and a commitment to quality service, Captain Mark makes each outing on Anna Maria Island a day to remember.
