Bucket-List Fishing Trip — Goliath Grouper and 10+ Tarpon Landed!
8 Hour Trip – Tarpon - 1:00 PM on April 25, 20262 adults
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!

10 Hour Trip – Tarpon on May 23, 20261 adult
Great captain, great boat, great fish. You couldn’t ask for anything more. Hooked up on Tarpon, Goliath Grouper, and awesome Snook. Excellent experience overall for anyone. Also, Dylan was very accommodating of my days since the weekend was super busy with boaters so the schedule had to be modified.

HIGHLIGHT OF OUR VACATION!
6 Hour – Shark / Goliath Grouper - 1:00 PM on April 16, 20262 adults2 children
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.
Reported catch:
