Thank you soo much Captain Charlie!!!!!! Captain Charlie is very knowledgable and will try his absolute best to get you a fish on. We didn’t catch alot in the beginning, which wasn’t his fault since you know weather, tides, etc. can also play a factor. Honestly, it was just an awesome time hanging out friends and enjoying the atmosphere. Captain Charlie will rig your line and put a live bait on if you don’t feel comfortable touching live bait. At the end of the trip, Captain Charlie found one last fishing spot and everyone on the boat caught fish. That made everyone’s day. Thanks again, Captain Charlie!!! We will definitely hit you up again in the future!!!!!

We booked a trip with Charlie during our stay in Cape Coral - and to be honest, we have been on other fishing charters and didn’t have much success so we had really hoped this would be different. And it was! I have two sons (11 and 14) and while they like to fish back home in Kentucky it just isn’t the same as fishing in Florida. They really worried they wouldn’t “really get to fish” by being able to cast their own lines and reel the fish in themselves. This has been an issue on past trips…...but Charlie showed them how to do it correctly and really let them experience it all - guiding them them as he needed to along the way.We caught so many fish!!! We caught snapper, snook and drum and my boys had a blast! Charlie was personable and so knowledgeable. He let us be playful as a family (we had a $50 bet going for a 35 inch fish or bigger…...) and he played along encouraging the boys to catch the biggest fish they could - making sure to measure each one for them to see if they could get the big pay day!  I (mom) only fished a little bit by choice but I did enjoy the boat ride, the sun and seeing dolphins out in the water. After the trip I asked my boys if they FINALLY enjoyed a fishing charter and my 11 year old said the fishing was great but his favorite thing was Charlie himself as he described him as “so chill” (which translates to a great guide in adult terms!)  We typically vacation at different spots each year as a family but I wouldn’t be surprised if my boys talk me into a 2nd trip with Charlie sometime soon! Highly recommend this trip if you are looking for a great family day on the water.

It was an amazing day! It started out within 15 minutes my husband hooked a Tarpon. It was a super start to the trip. The rest of the day was wonderful. We all caught a grouper and a ton of Snook. Captain Charley was a great Captain and kept us seeing wonderful scenery as we were looking for fish. Even a school of dolphins! It was a superb day and would highly recommend using him for your fishing charter experience.

Had a great morning with Captain Charlie started with him picking us up in North Captiva.  He was extremely patient with all of us novices and helped us all experience catching something. We even got to experience a dolphin close up as one followed us to a great fishing spot and stole a lot of our catches straight from the lines. Which we didn’t mind as we still got enough snapper for the whole family to enjoy!  Would highly recommend a trip with him 👍

We spontaneously booked a 3 hour trip with Captain Charlie on our last day on vacation in Fort Meyers and we had an incredible time. Charlie was very knowledgeable and fun to fish with. He was obviously very passionate about his job. My dad, husband and I each caught a snook with his help, making for some awesome pictures and memories. He has a little trouble with the throttle on his boat which he was having repaired the next day. Honestly it just meant more time enjoying the gulf on the way back in. I’d highly recommend and we’ll be returning in the future.
