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!

Wonderful fishing
Half Day trip (AM) on July 19, 20252 adults2 children
A great fishing experience. Andy never stopped trying to find the hot spots. He also took some extra time towards the end of our day when we got on a good bite with some redfish. He was also very good with my younger nephews and took some time showing them ropes which was greatly appreciated. We all caught fish and he cleaned our catch at the end if the day. Overall a wonderful time and a good variety of fish. Highly recommend this charter.

Wonderful Trip!!!
Half Day trip (AM) on July 9, 20255 adults
This was our 2nd time out with Captain Andy and it did not disappoint! All five of us caught multiple fish, including some keepers, which Captain Andy cleaned and filleted for us. My daughter is a shark lover and Captain Andy cared so much about her experience that he hung around until another boat pulled up a shark that we were able to see. He even tried to hook a shark for her. He definitely went above and beyond. Highly recommend!!!

Incredible fishing trip!
Half Day trip (AM) on May 7, 20255 adults
Captain Andy is great! There was 5 of us on the charter, 4 adults and one teenager. Captain Andy was quick getting us on fish and making sure no one was standing around waiting for bait to cast back out. Even with multiple fish on lines at the same time, Captain Andy was on top of it. We hit a few dry spots but Captain Andy was quick to get us in different areas so we didn't waste too much time where the fish weren't biting. The best part of the trip was my son catching a black rip shark. We had gotten 3 on a line and they all got away, captain Andy was determined to make sure we landed one. My son got the 4th one on and captain Andy did everything he could to make sure it made it to the boat. It was awesome! We highly recommend captain Andy and we will for sure book another trip with him next time we visit. He also let our son go up the tower with him on the way back to the dock which he loved. Bottom line, you can't go wrong with captain Andy!

Very nice morning trip
Half Day trip (AM) on April 22, 20253 adults1 child
We went on a half-day trip with Captain Andy. He is an incredibly nice guy and we had a lot of fun fishing with him. We caught snooks, trout and a small grouper. Unfortunately, a shark and a mackerel bit through the line. A dolphin and manatees rounded off a great morning. Captain Andy is also not the type to throw you off the boat at 12 o'clock sharp. He took the time at the end to fish for a "giant fish" with my daughter - it almost worked... ;-). Thank you Captain Andy for a wonderful morning. We would definitely book again when we are back in the US.

Captain Andy crushed it with me and my twin 16 year olds. We pretty much caught everything you could imagine, snook, trout, redfish, sting ray, catfish, jack, and a lady tarpon We lost count at some point I know the dolphins literally stole at least 4 of our fish Captain Andy hooked it up literally and took care of everything including bait rods and helped cut up our fillets. He had a souped up boat w all the bells and whistles as well that got us close in the mangroves. Highly recommend a day or morning trip. Worth every penny. Thanks
