Explore the waters around Boca Grande and the Charlotte Harbor with Airborne Outdoors Fishing Charters! With private trips available year-round, the action never stops. This charter is owned and operated by US Army veteran Captain Chris, who’s been catching fish in the area for many years. He decided to share his experience and passion with other people and help each guest get their slice of paradise.
You will be fishing on a 24’ Pathfinder boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This custom-built vessel provides a smooth and dry ride, no matter what fishing spots you visit. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and has a Minn Kota wireless trolling motor. There’s also a Yeti cooler to keep your drinks and snacks fresh and cold.
The backcountry spots and flats offer lots of opportunities and you’ll have a chance to target Redfish, Shark, Trout, Black Drum, Snook, and many more. And let’s not forget the Silver King! Tarpon is the sole reason many anglers come to this area and spend countless days on the water.
Each trip can be custom-tailored to meet your needs. Let the captain know how you imagine your day and he’ll do his best to help accommodate.
All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. You only need to come prepared to have an awesome day.
Anglers of all skill levels are welcome! Take a trip with Airborne Outdoors Fishing Charters and find your new passion.

6 Hour Trip – Inshore
We had a good day with Captain Chris. He had had us hooked up on a snook within 10 mins at the first stop! We caught a few fish. We were in the right places and saw quite a few snook cruising but they were tight lipped. Found a few trout as well. Captain Chris knows the water and the fish, we will use him again.

Let me start by saying Chris’s communication was fast and friendly. His boat was immaculate and very current. He worked hard all day to put us on fish and we were very successful. Chris’s friendly demeanor was a pleasant surprise and everyone in our group enjoyed his stories and he ours. We all would highly recommend using Captain Chris for your next fishing trip as we will certainly be back on his boat next time we go fishing!!!

Captain Chris is an excellent guide. He has great equipment that he keeps very clean and tidy. You can tell he has a great knowledge of the area, where to fish, and how to fish. We just had a great day. I highly recommend Chris. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. If we get down there again and go fishing we will definitely use Chris.
