If you're ready to go fishing in Fort Myers, book a trip with SWFL Premier Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Nick, which allows you to benefit from their local experience.

These waters are known for Snook, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Blacktip Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Goliath Grouper, Tarpon, Black Drum, Ladyfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Gag Grouper, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few!

On the day of your trip you're likely to spin using light tackle.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 24' Bay boat with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Great experience!!!

    Half Day Fishing on October 21, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Me and my boys from Wisconsin had an awesome time with Captain Nick! He made sure we always were ready to catch fish by providing bait and techniques to help us out. We caught a lot of fish of all different types which made it quite unique. The snook were the most fun to catch…bigger fish with a great fight. Would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a great time on the water. We’re hoping we can get back there next year and go again. Can’t say enough good things. Thanks Nick!

    Ture SW Florida fishing with a Real Local Captain

    3/4 Day Fishing on February 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    My family of four had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Nick. He had us in fish from our first cast to some technical casting i. the end of our day. We did the 3/4 day and it was perfect for our 10 and 11 year old. We caught 10 species and learned a ton about the area and seasons to better plan of next SWFL fishing experience. We were also thrilled tp see dolphins and manatees and an aray of bord species. If you take the time to read the reviews as we did. they are spot on and Captian Nick is definitely the goide to choose.

    Great fishing experience

    Half Day Fishing on April 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Nick was fantastic. He put my wife and I on the fish. We caught a variety of species. Nick was determined to get us a bigger Snook and made it happen after switching locations. Bonus: we saw some manatee and dolphins. So cool! The sun gets intense on the water. Remember your sunscreen, a cool drink, and a hat.

Captain Nick moved to Southwest Florida in 1989 and it was at that time where his love for the waterways of Southwest Florida and fishing began . Growing up on the bimini basin canal system in Cape Coral enabled him to fish daily, navigate the waterways and learn from some of the best in the area.
