September - November Inshore on July 16, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Dylan took my 9 yr old son and I out for a great day on the water. Hit loads of snapper and snook. Hooks were back in water as quick as the fish were off. Put us on some gag and Goliath grouper as well that put up an awesome fight. 4hr inshore trip was as perfect as the snapper tacos we had for dinner that evening.

Absolutely incredible experience fishing with Dylan at Boca Grande and Beyond! From the very beginning, Dylan was extremely responsive, professional, and easy to work with — and even better, he’s a fantastic guy to spend the day/night with on the water. Dylan worked nonstop to keep us on fish and made sure we were always in the action. His effort and knowledge of the area really showed. We caught a true bucket-list Goliath grouper and hooked into around 20 tarpon, landing more than 10 — an unforgettable day and easily one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had. If you’re considering a charter in the Boca Grande area, do yourself a favor and book with Dylan at Boca Grande and Beyond. You won’t find someone who works harder or cares more about making sure you have an amazing day. We will 100% be booking with Dylan again the next time we’re in the area!
This was definitely the highlight of our vacation! From the minute we got on the boat, the captain worked non-stop from getting bait put on, unhooking fish, setting us up perfectly to catch the fish he was targeting at each spot. We caught fish right away and if the bites slowed down, he moved to next spot. We lost track of how many fish we caught. This is the fishing charter you want! We will definitely book with Dylan again.
