About AMI Discovery Charters
Meet the Captain
Meet Captain Max Huber, a proud Florida native who was born and raised on Anna Maria Island. His passion for the water began at just nine years old when he got his first boat. Since then, Captain Max has been navigating the local waterways, soaking up the sun and gaining invaluable knowledge about the region. His lifelong connection to the area and deep understanding of its natural beauty make him an outstanding guide. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or a first-time visitor, Captain Max offers an authentic and insightful experience, showcasing the true essence of Florida from the perspective of a local expert.
Meet the Boat
The boat is a brand new 24ft Tahoe Cascade Saltwater Series Luxury Tri-toon.
With a 175 Suzuki motor, the boat can get up and go with lots of space to relax with the upgraded upholstery and cushions for ultimate comfort. We offer under water scooters, paddle boards, and big floating rafts for the whole family to have fun! We also include water and ice with an extra-large cooler for all your beverages and food.
