About Captain Major
Fishing with Captain Major Fishing Charters, The new age of Sumotime Fishing Charters.
A long time Anna Maria Island local, Captain Mark Howard, former owner and Captain of Sumotime Fishing Charters, offered fishing charters to the Anna Maria Island area for over 20 years.

Captain Sam Major is a 5th generation Tampa Bay local who grew up on the water fishing with family and friends. Sam is very knowledgeable, caring, an excellent Captain and Captain Mark's first choice when turning over his business.
