Discover the riches of southwestern Florida with Charter: Capt. Dan. These waters are home to incredible flats, backcountry, wrecks, and many more, all surrounded by stunning nature. Come and explore the Everglades, the Ten Thousand Islands, and the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as you embark on a fishing adventure like never before.

Captain Danny Falls will make sure that you have everything you need for a productive day on the water. An avid angler since the age of 15, he’s been fishing for over 50 years now, and knows all the tricks of the trade. He promises to do whatever he can to make sure you get the most out of these rich waters, so settle in to land all the fish you’ve ever dreamed of.

Not only will you have an experienced captain, but the purpose-built 24’ Hurricane deck boat will carry you smoothly to all the fishing grounds. She boasts a 102” beam, allowing plenty of space to cast, two fishing seats, a power pole, and trolling motor. Hit up the skinniest of waters and get your fish on against some truly spooky fish.

Whatever you target, you’re in for a thrilling adventure, as these waters are home to some tough-fighting monsters. Settle in to do battle as you bottom fish to entice the bite of Bull Redfish, strong Snook, tough Trout, and some smaller beauties like Sheepshead and Tripletail. If you’re lucky, you may even land a Tarpon or a Shark!

You’ll mainly be practicing catch and release, but you’ll also be able to take a couple of tasty creatures home. Just make sure to bring an ice box to keep your catch fresh. Other than that, you’ll need to pack some drinks and snacks, and don’t forget to bring a camera to snap those long-lasting memories.

Charter: Capt. Dan promises a fun-filled day in some of Florida’s best waters. Come aboard and put your fishing skills to the test!
