Cruise Fish Dive offers various fishing adventures in Southwest Florida. Charters can range from fishing, scuba diving, and combo tours. Their fleet of vessels is equipped with the best quality gear to tackle all types of fishing and diving. Offshore boats are equipped with a marine head while backwater vessels are smaller, open boats to allow room for casting but are typically a short drive to a restroom facility if required.
The crew offers a variety of trips from long-range deep sea trips where you’ll be able to harvest different species of fish, to offshore trips that stay within 9 miles from the coast that are catch and release. You will have the opportunity to explore the artificial and natural reefs, wrecks, and bottom structures, targeting species such as Barracuda, Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Permit, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Snook, Snapper, and Shark. All charters within 15 miles of shore are catch and release in order to keep our reef systems healthy due to years of red tides and fishing pressure we have been experiencing. Our goal is to provide an amazing trip and educational experience for all of our guests for years to come. We survey the reefs weekly on our dive trips to keep track of the health of our ecosystem as well as to provide our guests with the best chance at catching big fish.
No smoking, drugs or hard alcohol allowed, but you’re welcome to bring beer/wine, soft drinks and vapes.
You are covered for all the fishing gear, bait, licenses, as well as water.
