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.

Great with Kids!
2 Hour Trip – Noon on July 15, 20262 adults2 children

This was our first time out fishing in FL with kids and Cap’n Timothy did such a great job invoking and teaching our kids. We were looking for a laid back first time experience and he was everything we were looking for with first timers. We had an excellent experience!

Excellent experience
2 Hour Trip (AM) on June 27, 20261 adult1 child

Captain Tim was amazing. My daughter and I had an absolute blast, and we caught more fish than we could eat-having to throw some back! He was very knowledgeable, kind, and considerate, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a fishing experience.

Amazing Experience!
2 Hour Trip (AM) on October 11, 20254 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.

I have been fishing and traveling all around florida since I was young and have been able to experience many of the unique things florida has to offer. Which makes me very knowledgeable about floridas wildlife, wilderness, and animals. There are many things the state has to offer and I am more then happy to share my love for the state and wildlife with you! I run fun and exciting fishing trips out of Fort Meyers Beach, Naples, Sanibel and estero Florida. Come aboard and discover the area's inshore, nearshore, and backcountry waters, as well as rivers and flats, all beautiful and full of fish.
