Capt Charlie is so knowledgeable and was so fun to hang out with! We caught big fish it was sooo exciting! Also gave recommendations for where we could go to get the fish prepared! Dinner afterwards was delicious and knowing we caught it made it even more enjoyable! we truly were the talk of the restaurant when we brought our fish in!! We’ll see you next time we come!!

Captain Charlie is the Best
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 5, 20261 adult1 child

Brought my 11 yr old grandson to Sanibel and we had to go fishing!! Even though Mimi (thats me) caught the first fish in twenty seconds, we had a blast! Captain Charlie took us to several locations so we could catch (and wrestle with) different kinds of fish- jackfish, trout, a shark & more. it was my grandson’s best fishing day ever!
