This is our second charter with Captain Bill, and once again it was a great time! We caught some sea trout, snappers, jacks, snook, and cats. This was my son’s girlfriend’s first time to Florida, and her first time fishing from a boat. She’s super shy, and very quiet but Bill had her confident to cast her own line, and she ended up catching the most fish! She had a ton of fun! Bill is just an all around cool dude, that will help the most inexperienced angler or will hang back and let you do your thing. We highly recommend Captain Bill, you won’t regret it! Until next year!!!

My family (my husband, and 17 yr old son and myself) had the pleasure chartering with Captain Bill. We had an outstanding time! Capt. Bill put us on some monster sea trout, snapper, and snook! And while it’s out of season for snook it was such a blast to catch!! As the captain himself quoted “like bass on steroids” couldn’t have been anymore on target with that! So much fun!! We are freshwater fisherman that love the challenge of saltwater fishing on vacation, and Capt. Bill knew all the tips and tricks to land some giants! He was patient, and had tons of knowledge to share. We will booking next year with Capt. Bill, planning for a full day at that! Thank you Bill, we can’t wait for our next trip with ya! Book with this charter you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Captain Bill and his son provided a fantastic experience! Very knowledgeable and efficient finding the fish! Highly recommended! We read a couple nice reviews and our experience absolutely lived up to the praise…it really did feel like we were out fishing with good honest people trying to shows us a fun time! They absolutely did that!

My son and I had a blast! Can't say enough about Captain Bill and his son the First Mate AJ. Super laid back and easy going. They definitely know their stuff and have deep knowledge of the fish in the area. They put us on fish right off and we caught Snook, Redfish, Red Grouper, Spotted Trout and Mangrove Snapper. As a bonus we ran into some Manatee! He had a variety of techniques and bait. He and the the First Mate kept our lines in the water which was really helpful in-between bites and fish. They helped us get in some tricky spots to make sure we took advantage of every opportunity. The boat was clean and he offered ice cold waters. Overall a great fishing trip and would use him again when in the area. Thanks Bill and AJ!!!

Capt Bill and his son AJ provided a wonderful day trip for my father and I. My dad is a great fly fisherman and they put him on some great spots to get some nice fish. I'm a novice fisherman and they patiently helped me catch some as well. Bill and AJ were wonderful hosts and thoughtful guides. We both had a memorable day. I would highly recommend Capt Bill to anyone looking for a great fishing day around Boca Grande.
Phenomenal day of fishing with capt Bill and his first mate(son) AJ. Despite a recent cold snap causing the bite to be slow, he worked to find us fish until he put us on some good sheepshead and snappers. They started biting like gang busters and was an awesome end to the day. Even filleted them for us when we got back to the dock and boy did they taste good!
Captain Bill and his son were awesome….this was the first saltwater fishing adventure for my 3 boys. We had a blast…. Captain Bill and his son were very attentive to our needs….and very patient…tangled lines….etc..They also told us a little history on the islands etc… long story short… it was a great time…the boys loved it……and I caught that snook! We will be back. I would highly recommend to anyone….especially with kids!
Great trip. Put us on plenty of fish. Great captain. Had a great day. Will be booking again in October. Hit an inshore slam. Gave me some great fishing tips. Loved the boat. No equipment issues.
Everyone had fun, and most importantly, it was an epic first experience for my daughter! Very appreciative for all the attention and assistance. Walking away with some of the tasty fresh fish we caught was icing on the cake 😁.

We had an amazing experience with Capt. Bill and his son and first mate, AJ. A monster snook for mom, two inshore slams, a shark and much more. We even took home some trout for dinner. It was a great day! We highly recommend these guys!
