Half Day Trip (AM)
Sea Trout and Manatees
My children and I had a fantastic morning with Captain Dillon. We landed some big sea trout, plus garfish and catfish. The manatees visited us while we were anchored by the mangroves. Dillon was very kind, thoughtful and helpful with the children. He has terrific local knowledge and I enjoyed his company while we fished. It was the highlight of our vacation to Cape Coral and we wholeheartedly recommend Dillon. Thank you so much skipper!

Epic day on the water!
Our fishing day was amazing. Gorgeous weather, got to see dolphins, sharks, and pelicans. We caught a ton of fish of various species, including three large trout that we brought home w us (and brought to a restaurant that cooked it for us). Captain Dillon is a master on the water! He was super knowledgeable, helped us get started, and gave us pointers throughout. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for this family of four (including two teenage boys). Anyone looking for a great, fun day in/near Sanibel, don’t pass Saltwater Excursions SWFL up! We’ll definitely be back!

The best fishing guide, trip and dinner
Truly one of the best experiences we had around Sanibel and Fort Myers in the past 9 years. I am so glad we chose Dillon to be our guide! My boys and I had an amazing time! Dillon is a kind, fun, knowledgeable, extremely polite fireman with vast experience. He was patient, ready to help every step of the way. He is overall a fantastic guide. We caught plenty of fish while learning about the islands, waterways and history of the area. While he cleaned our fish my boys and I walked the white sanded beaches which is a local paradise. We highly recommend Dillon, hands down the best; you will have an absolutely wonderful experience! Now let’s eat our freshly caught trout and redfish fillets :)

Incredible time with Captain Dillon. Our kids said it was like being on a boat with a friend! We couldn't agree more. First cast, fish on! Was our best fishing trip in a very long time. Incredible as we caught 9 different types of fish (ok the wife caught 8 of the 9 types of fish!) we kept Dillon busy baiting everyone lines, measuring for keepers and truly enjoyed the day! Many thanks Dillon and we will see you again soon!
