I was born in Bradenton at Dr. HARRIS' hospital ( neither Dr or hospital are still there). I was told doc had to leave the Christmas party where he was Santa, to deliver me. I have pictures of me in diapers on the beach. I've lived in many places but this is my home. Love it. Thank you. I'm 73 yes old
Yes. I live 15 minutes from here. Been here for 20 years ❤
Hey, I'm a passenger vessel boat Captain, entertainer, interpreter.
I love all of your videos. Thank you so much for focusing on the boat tours, it helps me with my hustle (finding jobs) lol -- as I never keep a job for long. And, you help the industry. Thanks for your hard work. Captain James, 39, North Carolina. ✌ And to your dog ♥
You are welcome...I have a heart for people like you, those in the hospitality field, always want to help small businesses with our videos
I grew up on Anna Maria Island. From diapers to adult. I lived in Lakeland and we went every weekend. Moved away in my 20s I went in 2013 to visit the beach and it was absolutely amazing
Yep still is amazing
I would never leave this island. Not even Florida. ❤️
Wasn't this hit by the last hurricane? Is this an old video?
As an ex Navy brat, I love your footage. My heart will always be a part of Florida. Excellent work!
Thankyou Olga, I appreciate that
Watching this a second time right now, and you know that I love all your videos, Randy, but I think Anna Maria Island is my favorite one so far!
Thankyou, yea I was feeling like it might be my best, took 10 days to edit
I’m partial to the Treasure Coast videos😉. I moved here April 2022 to the Treasure Coast and love it. But this one comes as a close second!
@@TampaAerialMedia I think all your videos are excellent, the footage is always good cinematography, the narration is always good, I think I just like this one best because it speaks to my soul mostly about where I would like to spend my vacation time.
@@nowyouknowrealestate5703 I hear you bro, anything's better than jersey, LOL
Of all the islands I’ve visited in Florida, keywaydin island has to be my favorite. It’s a small island that is only accessible by boat, it’s is in between Naples and Marco island which are both beautiful places. When I went here, I had the whole 12 miles of private beach to myself because there is only 2-3 homes on the island. The only downside is the 50 minute boat ride to go to any restaurant or store, but it is still very beautiful!
I usually go to Captiva island, but couldn’t go there this year because of tornado damage. Anyways I can’t wait for my trip here!
Yea will have to check out those islands on next video in that area, possibly in the fall
I enjoyed watching this video! Anna Maria indeed has that old Florida charm. Keep those videos coming.
Thankyou Altheia, I appreciate the feedback
Amazing work . I can imagine how inspiring the beauty you film in places like this can be
Thankyou Roberto, I appreciate that
He should make videos for travel agencies.
Glad to see you back, nifty scooter with Bella on your back....great stuff
Thankyou Sailing Schooners
@@TampaAerialMedia I got a Go Pro Sony
Lived in Annemarie for 3 years loved it
Haven't been to Anna Maria I'm a long time.
I didn't see it in your journey,but I didn't see fast Eddy's restaurant or on the pier we used to feed a pelican with one flipper missing,he walked like a pirate with a peg leg. He waited for us every morning we'd get breakfast and coffee. Bradenton since the
80's & 90's. Anna Maria hasn't got commercial good that's what my mom and dad liked about it. Mom loved coquina with all the trees,yeah when I went to visit them (they stayed for the winter)(snow 🐦🕊️ birds)from New England but mom really wanted to live permanently down there. We should have left dad back home and moved down there just the girls. I've been saying for the last 10 yrs. I wanted to retire there even though mom and dad are passed away. I still will get there,I love it. Thanks for the beautiful video and the memories for me.😀🏖️🐚
Yep Fast Eddy closed in around 1993...I found that out in the history museum, they have a write. up on Fast Eddys
Just to tell you I loved that you took Bella with you in your backpack!
Thankyou, yep she loved that backpack
I love Anna Maria Island
Was there last week... LOVED it!!
I vacationed there 55-56 years ago and was one of my favorite places. Have only been back once a few years ago, now live in MA and it’s really changed but still beautiful! Thank you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love your videos. Excellent work. Great job. Captain James, NC.
Aloha Randy thank you for mentoring us and featuring our beautiful unique Hawaii inspired apparel you and adorable Bella have a blessed week ahead I hope to get half a million orders so I can donate 500K anything more is gravy to charities that help people and animals that's our passion in life..
Love your videos. Thank you so much!!!!
Thankyou Jim for the nice words
Super video. Great camera work extra effort in production. Much appreciated.
Thankyou Sam for the nice words
Looks beautiful...you people are lucky.
Beautiful video and amazing as always 🤩
Thankyou Maxwell
Love it! Great job again. Can't wait to visit.
Thankyou ZM
Another great video! Thanks TAM!
Thankyou Myles, I appreciate that
awesome video loved it keep up the great work you do
Thankyou Ed, sure will
Excellent video 📹!
keep up the great work I absolutely love your videos 👏🏻👏🏻
Thankyou Tom, I appreciate that.
This is the best to the point informational video about ana maria that i've seen. Thank you!!
Thankyou Marissa, I appreciate you saying that.
Thank you for posting. This has been on my list but often skip it but will definitely visit
Yep at some point have to check it out, its unique
Beautiful! Can’t wait to visit Florida again and try some of these locations you’ve been featuring.
Yep I think you'll like them
My grandparents lived on Anna Maria from the late 80s until their deaths in the 2010s. We would drive out from Bradenton at least once a month. I remember back when it was a far smaller, sleepier community that only the locals knew about - long before so many of the McMansions went up. I like going back, but it doesn't really feel like the same small town it used to back when it had my Grandma & Grandpa in it.
Yep its changed, sure more crowded, but also has more to do there now too, and more restaurants
What an awesome video. I really enjoyed seeing this lovely place. Thank you.
You are welcome, thanks for the comment
Very well researched and detailed video. Extremely well done.
Thankyou Mike for the feedback
Super good job and lots of helpful info.
Thankyou Tonics, I appreciate the feedback
I live in Bradenton. Thanks for the great video promoting our area.
You are welcome
Can dogs go on your beaches
Looks inviting and fun.
Yes it is
My one and only trip to Florida was here and it was amazing!
Well thats a good place to go if you can only go to 1 FL destination
EXCELLENT__THANK YOU
Thank you !! Love your videos !!
Thankyou Deborah
Thank you for sharing 🥰 My husband and I Love Anna Maria Island. We have been there many times for our wedding anniversaries.Dream Inn is one of our favorite places to stay on Gulf Drive. You showed many places that I was not aware of. Thank you 🥰
You are welcome Deborah may you two have many more great anniverseries
Thank you for all the tips, we will be having a great time on Anna Maria Island very soon! Fun in the Sun!
You are welcome Caren, hope you have a great time...Its a good time of year.
Wow! You sure have a gift! I want to go to every place you feature!
Thankyou for the nice words, FL just has so many great areas
I enjoy watching your videos. I love the gulf side of Florida. Thanks.
Thankyou Andy, I appreciate the feed back
Thankyou Andy for the Super Chat funding, I sure appreciate that, that is very nice of you.
Great video! Love your POV and narration. Nice job and keep it up! Bravo!
Thankyou for that feedback
Those horses just needed leadership, love, and a job.
True
Your videos are so amazing and you do a great job of describing
Thankyou Liam, I appreciate that
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thankyou Joe, you are welcome
Great vid sir! I’m getting amped up for the newest tampa , st Pete’s vids!! Can’t wait
Yep looking like early April for Tampa 2023, thinking of including Tarpon Springs wirh this one
@@TampaAerialMedia sounds great ! I’ll have to watch it after my yearly trip down there. We are going in the end of March and staying in st Pete’s and are planning on visiting Anna Maria island, go down to Sarasota, longboat key and siesta key. Will hit tampa, clearwater and Dunedin as well as oldsmar. I usually see the Tampa vid before our trip and it gets me super pumped but I’ll gladly wait til I get back. Thanks for doing the work sir! I watched your Tampa vid from maybe 6 years ago and went down there on a whim and had a blast in 2018, went back in 2019 it was better and then skip forward to 2022 I came back and guess what?!?! It was so much fun!! This year I’m dragging the entire family along. Cannot wait for the sun and fun. It’s a needed break from the great white north. 🥶
Thanks for your always filming Florida state!! Such a beautiful state… I hope you will come back Key West again and staying longer.. keep it up 👍
Doing the FL Keys in April of 2024
Thank you Randy and Bella for sharing this beautiful video. I really enjoyed it! Hugs to Bella from me
Thankyou Rephael, sure will give the love to Bella
Another fantastic video
Thankyou Jay
My second home. Love XOXOXO Anna Maria Island.
Yes! We've never been there, but going there in a month. Looking forward to this recording!🐚🌊🌴
Hope you like it!
Great video, love it!
Thankyou Rose
Really excellent video with terrific detailed content including contacts and websites. The best video of its type I have seen !
Thankyou Keith, I appreciate that
Great video thanks!
You are welcome Joel
I am from IL and my friends love Anna Bella Island . I think some day I will explore it too.
Yep, everyone has to go tere atleast once
I lived there for 4 years from '96-'00. Have fond memories and enjoyed running and riding the sandy beaches and parking lots. Made some eclectic friends along the way; some have passed on. Seems like its exploded since then though. Moved just to the outskirts for a bit as well beside someone who claimed to be friends w/ two of the real life characters in the 'Perfect Storm.' They used to fish in the winters here when New England fishing was dormant. You can never go back though
Randy, this was a super visit. You covered a lot and I think Bella loved it too. All the dogs are happy you provide so much info for dogs too. Bye for now to you and Bella and I am off to the next video. 🥰
Thanks Rephael, yep should have a new video every week for the next 4 weeks atleast.
Coquina beach is my favorite beach. Lots of parking and not too crowded.
yea I think me too.
WE REALLY LIKE YOUR TOURS
I appreciate that PinkLady
Awesome vid thanks 🙏 😊
Thankyou for the nice words
Lived in Florida since 2010 but been here before a few times I love this island Anna Maria been once, I live near Sanibel. Poor Sanibel and Captiva.
Great Video!
Thankyou for the nice words Michael
You made an amazing video! We vacationed to Anna Maria last summer so this is now our favorite! Stop by The Donut Experiment next time you’re there for some amazing treats! Thanks for always making the best content!
Thankyou for the nice words, I try to avoid doughnuts, too much sugar but yea I know alot of people love them
Great Videos! Playing catch up!
Thankyou Rico...have a big one premiering this Sunday of Gatlinburg
Beautiful place. A heck of a traffic at I-4 to get there and like any island, almost a singular road in and out.
Yep I-4 is what I hate
A Navy buddy has a condo on Anna Maria; I need to visit! Nice overview.
Thankyou, yea you should
I was there recently. We hiked Robinson's Preserve and went up the observation tower. From there we could view fish jumping out of the water. I've never seen that before, but I don't live in Florida either (yet). Perhaps flying fish are more common there...(?)
beautiful
I will look forward for the next video next week.
Should be Sat or Su
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome, thanks for commenting
You did a very nice job
Thankyou for the nice words
I retired couple years ago and am a snowbird down there St Pete and Tampa where I was stationed for both my shore tours in the Navy. I stay for free in my stealth campervan.
Great AMI video, so much useful information and suggestions. We are from UK and have taken vacations in Florida for past 25 years - the last 8 years on AMI. We always go second half of September when it is relatively quiet without any of the traffic jams you witnessed. Dodged a few hurricanes; terrible what happened with Hurricane Ian to the South. Also suffered with Red Tide on a couple of trips so fingers crossed for this coming September. Villa rental charges have gone through the roof (is that a US understood term!) in last year so 2024 could be challenging for us. Anna Maria is something really special - we love it. And don’t miss Ginny’s and Jane’s for breakfast and cakes. Best regards to everyone in USA ❤❤❤
Yep probably smart to go then to save, but yea chancing it with the hurricanes.
Thank you. I live here. You're video is beautiful. We all whom are living here only worry about population controls, not just here but all over our country. Ive liked and subbed.
Yep very true, but I think Anna Maria Island is doing a better job at controlling it versus some other beaches like Clwtr Bch or Miami Bch
Great video.. but not the home Garth Brooks is renovating.. you can google coasting Llc and pull up the old hotel he bought and is renovating.. its on white ave holmes beach
Thanks for the correction
I want to go visit the Manatee sanctuary one day.
I've been here and it is truly beautiful. I sincerely hope that they try to preserve the island as much as possible. One side isn't any better than the other in fact, the differences between the east and west coasts of Florida compliment each other, perfectly.
I agree with that the east and west coast compliment each other, thats a great way to put it
Climate change. Only a matter of time.
Great video. I feel like I've been there except I'm not sunburned and I still have some money in my pocket.
Thankyou Travis
My favorite place on earth!!! Great video! One correction, it is the Waterfront restaurant not Waterside. Thanks for the video!
Thankyou Cynthia for the correction
Excellent video! This must have taken a very long time to put together. It is a beautiful area. My parents lived in Longboat Key for years. We have been to Anna Maria but have never done any of these activities and now I'm embarrassed! The only thing I want to point out - because I'm a negative person in general - is that all this fun will be astronomically expensive. Maybe that's why we didn't do the parasailing or the horse riding through the waves. Because it would be a small fortune - plus of course the aggressive hustling for tips. But don't let me rain on the parade. Lovely area and great video!
Thankyou for the feedback
I went to the beach there on July 4th, 2019.
Mahalo Jerry Always looking forward to your weekly updates and your honesty on what’s really coming.
Jerry, whats the possibility of a quick location of the beautiful homes that are always in your video back drop❓
Mahalo 🤙🏽🌴🇺🇸🌺🍍
Ill try to do that
We have had a family owned beach house there for 70+ years. It was great a long time ago. Now it is just another tourist trap. We don't even go there any more and just rent it full time.
Waiting!!! Woo-hoo!
FYI its a tourist hell during tourist season and when the winter people are in florida. And good luck finding parking. I have taken many day trips to the islands. If you go during the off season you can have a real good time though even if not all places are fully operating at in the off season.
Funny you bring that up about parking, because today a ruling cleared the way for them to put a parking garage at Manatee Bch
@@TampaAerialMedia As someone that has been there often. Its most likely not going to actually help all that much. lol.
What is considered busy season? We are thinking about coming down from Ohio in February or March. Great video!
February, which is when this was filmed is semi busy, March is very busy with Spring Break, but weather is awesome during those months
Nice info on this beautiful island. One correction- it’s called Waterfront Restaurant not Waterside.
Thankyou for the correction
Yes WaterFRONT is one of best restaurants in Anna Maria. They’ll cook your catch and have fabulous seafood , salads, and drinks.
I’m from Louisville KY moved to Florida in 2015
❤ the background tracks. Trying to find one mambo song you had toward the end…what was the name? Can’t find music credits in the description. Thanks!
Thankyou, if you give me a time stamp of that song I can give you the name and artist
crazy expensive $$$$$$🤑
Hi, just wondered what is the name of the song/artists you use in parts of the video? Something about a bungalow in the jungle? I have tried and tried to find it - I just love it!
Hi Soraha, that is Bamboo Bungalo by The Commandeers, available on PremiumBeat.com
❤
Thanks for visiting skinny’s place this is Alex
Oh hey Alex, thanks for commenting, hope you are doing great, thanks for the great service
@@TampaAerialMedia your welcome can’t wait to see you in the future
Hi from UK can I ask what song this is at 29.03 on video please ? Great video 😊
That is "Bamboo Bungalow" by the Commandeers available on PremiumBeat.com
3 decent islands, Anna Maria, pine Island in charlotte harbor and Caladesi Island are the 3 best on the west coast with out condos.
True
Great video. What's the song at 1251?
Its Jah Rstafari, by One Republic available on PremiumBeat.com
What time of year and day were these videos taken? Traffic in May 2023 was just starting to lighten up I was told by residents. Anyway reservations were still needed at peak times in restaurants. Found getting around by bicycle more convenient than car even in May. Found north area of islands in this video so congested during peak season have to think these videos were deceptively taken at times most unappealing because of heat and humidity keeping crowds reduced. Was there red tide during shooting of these videos possibly keeping away?
This was done in early February...traffic is manageable, just probably want to be off the roads from about 3-4 hours before sunset to sunset, atleast near the 3 entrances to the island
A couple directional corrections. You go west on 64 - (not east like you say) . And left on east bay drive - (not right like said in video )
Thanks for the correction
