Gulf Coast Charter Service
+178Capt. 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.

Fantastic Day On The Water!!!
3/4 Day Trip on July 6, 2025
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!

Had a blast with Captain Fabien!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 14, 2025
It was a great day fishing, joking with Captain Fabian, and enjoying the beautiful sun and boatride! We saw dolphins, sharks and stingrays for a bonus! He made sure we got lots of snook and red fish like we wanted along with all supplies needed! He picked us up very close to our resort and easy to load our items into boat. I'm so glad he gave us hints and tips since some of our group were not real experienced. We will definitely book with him again on our next family trip back to Ft. Myers beach!!!!

Amazing Time, Absolutely Recommend
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 21, 2025
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!
Half Day Trip (PM) on April 6, 2025
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!

Half Day Trip (PM) on July 19, 2024
Fabian was incredible! We chose to do a PM 4 hour fishing trip! He came prepared with everything we needed and was very knowledgeable! We were able to pick the kind of fish would like to fish for and he was ready with whatever bait we would need! The sights were absolutely breathtaking and we had a blast! Fabian was very personable, kind, and cracked jokes with us! For those who weren’t comfortable casting their own line, he casted for them, and gave very clear instructions on each thing for those who were new to fishing. Our whole group 100% agrees that we will choose this fishing charter again in the future!
