Whether you're just discovering your angling passion or you're in search of your next prized inshore catch, Hooked4life Fishing Charters has got your back! Team up with Captain Andy Santana for a day of fishing fun and games and explore the waters around Bokeelia.

Capt. Andy has been exploring the Southwest Florida waters for over 11 years, so you will be in capable hands as you come aboard. The boat that will take you out is a 22' center console outfitted with a 225 HP Yamaha engine that can sit up to 5 anglers excited to start their next adventure.

You will be using Penn rods and reels while trying to hook something awesome, and after the trip, you will get your catch cleaned and filleted just in time for your next delicious meal. Capt. Andy also provides lures, live bait, and fishing licenses for your whole group, so that's one less thing to worry about. You're free to bring your own snacks, drinks, and lunch if you're going on a full day trip.

If you're an inshore fishing aficionado, then you will like the selection of species you can catch on your expedition. Redfish is a classic, as well as Sheepshead, but colossal Snook, Snapper, and Grouper are also popular in these parts, along with Spotted Seatrout and of course, Tarpon. Depending on your preferences, you can chase after a particular species, or drop your line and see what favors it.

You can choose short, but sweet excursions that last 4 hours and are perfect when you're planning a fun family outing. If you'd like to go further and test your skills and luck, there's an 8-hour trip that can go up to 9 nautical miles and brings the whole experience up a notch. Kids are always welcome on Capt. Andy's boat, he loves having them aboard, and he also volunteers to take kids from his community on fishing trips.

With Hooked4life Fishing Charters, you will come to appreciate inshore angling even more and always come back to it gladly!

The action started early, and everyone had a blast reeling in fish throughout the trip.
Half Day trip - 8:00 AM on June 4, 20263 adults1 child
We had an awesome experience with Hooked 4 Life Fishing Charters! Andy was a great captain—friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to keep us on the fish all morning. My kids were excited from the moment we got on the boat, and seeing them catch fish and make memories was the highlight of the trip. The action started early, and everyone had a blast reeling in fish throughout the trip. Andy was patient with the kids, helpful when needed, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing charter with a captain who knows what he’s doing, I highly recommend Hooked 4 Life Fishing Charters. We had a fantastic time and would definitely book another trip! — Matthew and Family 🎣🐟

Cap'n Andy was excellent - great day
3/4 Day Trip on March 26, 20263 adults
What started as a super foggy day ended up beautiful and bright sun. Cap'n Andy handled the low visibility with expertise and before we knew it, we were slowing down and had rods in our hands and a few minutes later we had bent rods with snook and seatrout on the lines. By the end of the day, we had a boat limit of beautiful reds, very meaty seatrout, and plenty of seatrout, snook, and smiles galore. We fished mangroves, grassy and sandy spots, and Cap'n Andy delivered excellent filets for dinner. We will definitely look him up next time we are in the area! Thanks for your service to your country, and thanks for your service to us for the day!

Unforgettable Fishing Trip with Captain Andy
Half Day trip on March 14, 20264 adults
Our fishing trip with Captain Andy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He really knows his stuff—putting us right on the fish and making sure we had action throughout the trip. You can tell he has a deep understanding of the water and where to go, which made all the difference. Beyond his skill, Captain Andy was incredibly friendly and easygoing, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time, and was super accommodating to anything we needed. If you’re looking for a fun, successful day on the water with someone who truly cares about your experience, I can’t recommend Captain Andy enough. We’ll definitely be booking another trip!

Great first time fishing in SWFL!
3/4 Day Trip on May 21, 20262 adults
Had a phenomenal time with Andy on the water. Really enjoyed learning some of the tricks of fishing in SW Florida and couldn’t recommend him or the business more. Super professional, great teacher, and a good man. You won’t be disappointed and I’m sure we’ll be back for more.
