Took our family of 5 on the 1^st excursion of the day. As parents we were totally NOT going to parasail, just watch and enjoy the 2 hrs or so on the lake… changed our minds once we got out there… excellent time for all of us… the staff were friendly and professional… it is expensive, but worth the money if you have never done it. Surreal just hanging there above the water… beautiful really!

Jet ski rentals for 3 — CB’s was recommended by a bartender at SKOB and I’m glad we rented w them. Mention using the local connection when you can!
Booking was easy. Since we had a group of 8 he was willing to cut us a group price. –but most of the group was afraid of the 66 degree water. It was fine and we were not cold! FYI, we were not first timers. If you are, familiarize yourself w the machine online. It’s more like a snowmobile than a car.
I was talked into a 2 hour rental when I called to reserve — and I’m glad! 1 hour is too short to go out into the Gulf — where we had must of our fun. Great excursion and all 3 guys we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. I wld try a guided tour next time.

We bought a ton of gear at CB. It’s kind of hard not to because of their selection. There was always a ton of staff ready to help you out. I was buying 30lb leader and the guy said hold on and grabbed me a different brand that was half of the cost; -,. We rented a boat for the full day for $ 100 plus gas — can’t beat that deal.

Came there today to stop in and get beach wear. Left with beach wear and a two hour jet ski rental. The rental company is inside the shop and is separate staff. The rental staff was more than accommodating and kind. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent a jet ski for the bay or to ride around the gulf. The store itself has beach items from towels to clothing to snorkeling gear and everything in between. Great shop and I would go there again!

We (my fiancé and dog) rented a pontoon for a half day and had a blast! We cruised around a designated route in the bay that had dockside bars and restaurants, sand bars & beautiful empty beaches. The staff was very laid back and helpful, their shop was filled with all things nautical and the boats were new and very well kept. Highly recommend checking out CB’s!

I booked a fly fishing charter with Capt. Andy Cotton out of CB’s Outfitters. Capt. Andy is a great guide who worked very hard to get me on to fish.
The weather wasn’t cooperating for us to go out of the inlet since winds we’re blowing 15 to 20 knots out of the Southwest.
The day looked like it might rain and indeed other Captains had cancelled their charters. Capt Andy gave me that option, but based on his review of the weather radar he thought we could make a day of it. Since I was from out of town, I didn’t have an option to postpone so we figured we’d make the best of it.
We stayed inside Sarasota Bay where he took time to teach me to double-haul. I’m am an avid trout fisherman so double-hauling was not something I had a lot of experience with.
To make a long story short, I caught dozens of speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, along with spotting dolphin, rays and all sorts of marine life.
Capt Andy Cotton was friendly, helpful, and had a wealth of knowledge of the area. All in all a great trip.

We rented a boat with a skipper from CB on very short notice and had an excellent half day. We saw two dolphins and the captain showed us the big houses and a nice restaurant (Casey Key Fish House with a very cool bar next to it). Would definitely recommend it. We went in april and took 08 am — noon wich is les shot than noon –4 pm.

I am a fisherman and this, is my source for knowledge.
1^st– they have a friendly knowledgeable staff who know the area better than anyone. They know what gear to use where, on what, and when. There is no better source to help you get to that next level of fishing than talking and working with the staff here.
2^nd– their rental captains all have blogs. While they won’t give away trade secrets, they are up to date and can give you a picture of what may be going on in the larger area you might be looking to go fish. It is a handy source to read when you have some down time.
So, in conclusion– this is a fisherman’s ultimate stop before going out on the water.
They also have a great selection of clothing, but that’s another blog for another day.

We fished with Capt. Roy String last week in Sarasota Bay and had an awesome time. Caught over 60 fish of a wide range of species and were really glad we picked CB’s to book a charter. Capt. Roy knows the Bay extremely well and was seriously a joy to fish with.
We also frequented CB’s tackle shop a few times while on SK to grab tackle and such and the folks there were always very knowledgeable and friendly. Great all-around experience with CB’s…we’ll be back!

Went on a tarpon fishing trip of Siesta Key with Capt. Andy Cotton booked through CB’s. He connected us with a large tarpon that my dad and I took turns fighting for over an hour, then released. The weather was a bit tough that day so we went inside and fished the flats in Sarasota bay in the afternoon. Andy got us on a nice variety of flats fish with the fly rod He is a very knowledgeable and outstanding guide. I look forward to fishing with him again.

Conveniently located at the south bridge. Have rented jet skis and most recently a 23 foot motor boat. The staff was prompt both times.
It is located toward the center of the causeway so as you depart south there is a short no wake zone (5 minutes to open throttle). Going north the no wake zone is longer yet led through a deep mangrove channel which is cool as well.
Watch your time out of these areas so you leave yourself enough time to return on time.
Just wish I could rent boats overnight as I have dock in the area and would like to boat multiple days without hassle of returning boat each night.

Great family owned business with friendly service. I grew up in Sarasota and have been going to CB’s for years. They have touristy stuff, but also very nice stuff too. I’ve bought several pairs of OluKai shoes and sandals here as well as several sunglasses included Native and Costas, and Shimano reels. They are always helpful if I need to return or exchange any items.
I would definitely recommend checking the place out if your nearby. The boat rentals are run by CB’s, but I believe the jet ski rental company leases out the space inside CB’s and is not affiliated. I have never rented jet skies.

Jets skis are fun, but that’s it. You will have a better day renting elsewhere. From the moment we walked in, the jets ski rental agent obviously didn’t want to be there. The skis were okay, one had a throttle issue.
You have to idle and go slow for 30 mins each way to get to the play zone. We were 15 mins late and they still tried to charge $ 30 or $ 20 cash, I wonder whose pocket it went into???
Point is you can find a way better place with better staff and closer to a zone where u can use the jet skis how they were intended to be used.
Don’t rent here, go somewhere else. Save your money!

A friend and I decided to do some fishing while on vacation and used CB’s for our charter. Management was friendly and flexible (we were running about 15 minutes late due to bizarre events) and the boat and captain were ready to go as soon as we arrived. The captain was knowledgeable about the area, fish varieties and tactics, was very helpful with keeping lines baited, untangled, etc. so we could focus on fishing, was conversational and friendly throughout the trip, and cleaned all our fish for us upon return. Five stars for Captain Roy!
The only reason this is a 4-star review is unfortunately something out of CB’s control, but still impacts the overall experience. There’s a long no-wake zone that takes 20 – 30 minutes to navigate each way, which cuts into your time actually fishing.
Overall a good experience, would use CB’s again. (Note: Would not use Siesta Key Jet Ski rental again — located in the same building, but apparently a separate company.) Thanks CB’s!
