Gorgeous sandy beaches, a cool breeze to chill you on a hot summer's day, and the sound of the reel screaming as you scramble to fight a massive Amberjack – that's what Fort Myers Beach looks like. Combine that with a professional and friendly charter like Always Fun Charters and you have the recipe for an unforgettable fishing adventure!

Join Captain Neil Douglass on board of his 41' Tiara offshore sport fishing vessel. She's quite the powerhouse, with twin Detroit diesel engines providing 1100 HP worth of thrust. That's enough to push her along at a smooth 26 knots of maximum cruising speed, impressive for a vessel of her size. Not only is her ride smooth, but also quite comfortable with a full restroom. You can easily bring 5 of your fishing buddies and you still won't bump elbows.

Don't worry about losing your edge on longer trips under the hot sun, she's got all the comforts a modern angler needs to stay at his best. An air-conditioned cabin will keep you cool and you can freshen up in the shower. A power-nap in the onboard bed is available, to recharge your batteries between epic fights.

Don't think she's a pleasure cruiser, Capt. Neil's Tiara is a sport fishing vessel 100%. You can strap in a fighting chair when you hook a big boy, or enjoy trolling with greater success: outriggers and downriggers extend your reach. Great species such as Amberjack, Cobia, Red Snapper, Groupers, Permit, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, and others are waiting for you.

There's a first mate on board to assist you in whatever you do, as well as clean and fillet your fish, free of charge. Gratuity is greatly appreciated, though.

There's no minimum age for kids with Always Fun Charters, they will provide you with PFDs in all sizes. The captain will usually prepare your live bait in advance, which is included in the trip price.

Book a trip with Captain Neil Douglass and get ready to cast off on a fishing trip that you'll fondly remember for years to come!

Family Fishing Trip
5 Hour Inshore/Offshore Trip on November 30, 20254 adults2 children
I booked a 5 hour fishing trip with Always Fun Charters out of Ft Meyers Beach. I went with my two sons a daughter in law and two grand daughters. We liked the fact that captain Neil’s boat the Sea Hawk at 41 feet is much more substantial then most of the charters. There is an on board head (toilet) and plenty of room to get out of the sun. There is also plenty of room for 6 people to fish without getting lines tangled. It was fairly windy so we stayed near shore and did bottom fishing. We all caught some fish and had 7 keepers. The grand daughters and daughter in law who have hardly ever fished had quite the thrills reeling them in. Captain Neal did a great job at finding the fish and first mate Jenna kept up with removing fish and keeping the hooks baited. Jenna also cleaned all the fish at the end of the trip. We all had a great time and would book with them again.

We caught several bonnet sharks three or four over 3’ and were able to keep two of the biggest. We also caught a lot of whiting, a few catfish and one puffer fish. The Captain and chew are great! We would definitely book this trip again!

Hammertime!!!
Inshore/Offshore Trip on July 18, 20253 adults1 child
We had an absolute blast near Sanibel Island! First, we reeled in a bunch of trouts, one by one, and it was a blast for the whole family. And guess what? We even caught a shark with our own-caught bait! It was an epic fight, and an experience we’ll never forget. Thanks a million to Neil and Peter for being such great guides. They made sure we had the best time possible!.

We had so much fun. The captain and Eddie were very nice. Explained how to hook the shrimp to my daughter to not kill it on the hook, caught lots of fish, and a shark! Weather was good but s little windy but no one can control that. Overall we had fun and got some fish to take home for dinner
