Gulf Coast Charter Service
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. He started fishing major tournaments at the age of 12, took 4th place in a pro redfish tour event before turning 16, and year after year he has expanded his skill set for catching a wide range of sought-after gamefish that thrive in the region.
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.

3/4 Day Trip
Best Charter I’ve ever been on.
Captain Fabian was ready and waiting when we got there. The boat was nice and very clean. Captain Fabian got us on the fish early. We caught our limit of snapper in about an hour. We went to another spot on got on the Reds. We caught so many fish that I lost count. Captain Fabian is very good at what he does. He is very knowledgeable and very kind! Just a really good guy to hang out with and fish. I’ve been in several charter boats and this is by far my favorite one! I will definitely fish with him again and I would definitely recommend him to everyone. This was the highlight of my vacation. Thanks for everything Captain Fabian! See you again soon!

Worth Every Penny!
We decided to take an afternoon fishing trip for my buddies bachelor trip. After reading other reviews and looking at availability, we decided to go with Captain Fabian. We definitely made the right choice! Captain Fabian was great and made us feel right at home while we were with him. We were able to spend the afternoon on the water, fill up a cooler with fish, and make some awesome memories. Thanks again to Captain Fabian for the awesome experience!

Fantastic Day On The Water!!!
What an amazing fishing trip! From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Fabian made the entire experience enjoyable, relaxing, and exciting. We caught a ton of redfish, snapper, and some other great catches that kept the action going all day long. Captain Fabian really knows his stuff—he put us right on the fish and made sure everyone had a great time. His boat was clean, well-equipped, and he was super professional while also being friendly and fun to talk to. If you’re looking for a fantastic day out on the water with a captain who truly delivers, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Fabian. Can’t wait to go out again!

Half Day Trip (AM)
Amazing Time, Absolutely Recommend
First fishing adventure in FL, picked us up (family of four) very close to our rental, had easy access to parking and right onto the boat. Boat was very clean and well equipped with plenty of poles for different types of fish and depths. The captain was very quick to get all the poles ready, baited and helped cast whenever any needed it. He helped bring in every fish and was swift to rebait when needed too. Caught about 20 trout, kept 8 and captain filet them. Also when snook fishing, reeled in 6 nice ones as well. Very friendly and knowledgeable captain, will definitely rebook! Highly recommend.

What an Awesome Day!
Thank you Captain Fabian for a great fishing trip! This Captain really knows these waters and we hit the bite just right. Lost count of how many Snook we caught but it had to be between 60 and 70 with 3 fisherman. Captain Fabian was running all day unhooking our fish, baiting lines, helping my wife cast into the best spots, changing out worn leaders, etc... He also knows how to drive a boat, with very strong winds he got us to the fishing spots dry and comfortably. My wife has back issues and it was very important that the ride was smooth. Fabian is a lot of fun to fish with as well. I will definitely be booking another trip with Fabian in the future. Until then, stay Awesome Captain!
