Capt. Fabian Guerrero is a USCG licensed and insured captain with more than 2 decades of experience fishing Southwest Florida's vast and fertile waters.

When it comes to finding the hot bite, Capt. Fabian is second to none. Not only is he in tune with the movements and predators and prey, but his area of expertise spans from the coastal creeks and major rivers—like the Caloosahatchee—to the shallow flats and mangrove shorelines of Estero Bay, Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor, to Boca Grande, Captiva and other passes, the beaches and nearshore waters.
For unbeatable comfort, safety and fishabilty, Capt. Fabian runs a 24-foot T Craft Brand custom boat powered by a Suzuki 300 hp motor, which offers a smooth and dry ride, makes a spacious and extremely stable fishing platform, and gets you from one hotspot to the next in a hurry. Of course, the boat has the latest in navigation and fish-finding electronics, as well as all the necessary safety equipment.
Captain Fabian's got you covered for all the fishing gear you'll need for your trip as well as for licenses. Anglers need only bring personal items like polarized sunglasses, rain jacket, etc.

Captain Fabian provided us with an excellent day on the water. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area, and put us on a number of great bites. Our day included a good balance of technical sport fishing and easier trout fishing. Everyone in our group of 4 caught plenty of fish. Captain Fabian filled our coolers and then some with great looking fish; we will be eating well for the next few days. Overall, we had a great experience and will be returning for another trip in the future! I would strongly recommend this charter, whether you're looking to sport fish or fill your cooler, or even a little bit of both.
I wanted to give a friend from the UK a unique SW Florida experience while he was visiting. I chartered a half day trip with Captain Fabian for some inshore fishing. Everything about the trip was excellent. The weather cooperated. Fish were caught, some for the table and others catch and release. Captain Fabian is an excellent guide and boat operator. Knowledgeable of the area, professional and just really good company to have on a boat. He runs a spotlessly clean boat that is well maintained and well organized to maximized guest comfort and ease of movement while fishing. I heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a charter and will likely use him again for future trips in this area.
Capt Fabian nailed it and earned thoae 5 stars. 1) excellent and proactive communication- made it easy and provided confidence for our trip 2) His slip was easy to get to, find and had plenty of parking. 3) His boat and gear were clean and everything was very organized and professional 4) He was a great guide, knew the waters and a mot of history - also put us on the fish and took pir requests 5) Capt Fabian is super personable and was great with our kids. Made it easy for them to catch some fish, see the sighs and they had a great time feeding the pelicans after a great day on the water. Id highly recommend Capt Fabian for tour next charter!
There’s a reason Capt Fabian only has 5 star reviews. Simply put, he’s just a great guy and truly knows the water and what he’s doing. He has an immaculately kept boat and great custom gear. Most importantly for me, he was incredibly patient with my two sons who are 9 and 7, teaching them what do and joking with them along the way. He shifted around our tactics as the afternoon went along and we were able to catch lots of trout (some really big), a couple snook, and at least a half dozen redfish. I know my boys and I will remember this experience for a long time!
We had an awesome fishing trip with Capt. Fabian! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to put us on the fish. We caught snook and several other species, we didnt know what they were since we were from NY. :) Everyone in our group had a great time. Capt. Fabian makes the trip enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommend!
