Here at Coastal Bound Charters, the crew’s goal is to put you on fish and help you make amazing memories on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Captain Timothy Esgro is doing charters out of Fort Myers Beach, and Sanibel. He’ll meet you in Fort Myers Beach or Sanibel and take you on a fun-packed trip you won’t soon forget. Book any day that suits you and embark on your next fishing adventure in Florida!

Your trip takes place on a 24' Blazer bay boat. The boat rides fairly comfortably, fits up to 5 anglers and it uses GPS and fishfinder technology to keep you on the course all the time. The boat also has gps trolling motor, two livewells, stereo, and an ice-box. (if you have more than 3 people in your group, it will be $50 extra per person.)

Captain Timothy fishes for a variety of species including but not limited to Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Trout, Tripletail, Tarpon, and many more! To attract them, you’ll be fishing both on light and heavy tackle. The fish you catch is yours to keep but you’re free to release it back into the water if you prefer to. Also, kids are more than welcome to come on the trip.

The captain supplies all the fishing equipment, live bait, lures, ice cold water, as well as licenses. If you decide to keep your catch, the captain will clean and fillet it for you at no extra cost. Bring any food you like, arrive on time, and get ready for a great time on the water.

Join Coastal Bound Charters and make memories fishing!

Amazing Experience!

2 Hour Trip (AM) on October 11, 2025 • 4 adults

We took our young boys (8 and 6) and all of us had a great time! Captain Tim took us out for a couple of hours and he was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the fish we were trying to catch. We wound up catching jack crevalle, snook, and even a barracuda. Our oldest nearly reeled in a tarpon but unfortunately it got away. Overall, it was the best part of our vacation and it'll be an experience we won't forget. We'll definitely book with Captain Tim if we're in the area again.

Laid-Back Day with Tight Lines & Good Times!

6 Hour Trip on June 22, 2025 • 3 adults

We booked a 6-hour trip with Coastal Bound and it was the perfect experience from start to finish. Captain Tim was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He put us right on the fish and kept the energy fun and laid-back. Two of our guests are avid fishermen and were thoroughly impressed. I’m more of a chill-on-the-boat type, and I appreciated how accommodating the setup was for all of us. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and the overall vibe struck the perfect balance between easygoing and professional. With four of us on board including the captain, it felt very spacious. Highly recommend Coastal Bound if you’re looking for a fun, well-run charter!

Great Experience!!

2 Hour Trip (AM) on June 21, 2025 • 2 adults

I can’t say enough good things about our fishing charter with Captain Tim. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made me and my son feel like we were the most important crew on the water. His professionalism, knowledge of the area, and pure passion for fishing made this an unforgettable experience. Captain Tim knew exactly where to go and had us reeling in fish within minutes. He was patient and encouraging, celebrating every catch with genuine enthusiasm. His boat was spotless, well-equipped, and clearly maintained with care and pride. If you’re looking for a guide who knows his stuff and truly cares about giving you a great day on the water, look no further than Captain Tim. We’ll definitely be back for another round. Five stars, hands down. 🎣⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
