CruiseFishDive – Spear1Up
CruiseFishDive – Spear1Up
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.

Damon Bragg•
Virginia, USMember since 20215.0VerifiedA great day on the water with Capt. Brian
Half Day Trip – Back Bay (AM) MAX 4 on August 8, 2021 • 2 adultsMy wife and I booked a half day morning fishing trip. Captain Brian arrived on time and ready to fish. His personality, knowledge and desire to ensure we enjoyed ourselves was a 10 out of 10! We have never been so entertained all while CATCHING FISH! Every location he took us to we caught exactly what he said we would. We caught snapper, trout, red, ladyfish and snook (I won't fault him for the 3 catfish). We saw manatees and dolphins all while catching lots of fish. We have been on many charter boats in the past but this was by far our best experience ever. Captain Brian was exactly what we needed. I highly recommend Captain Brian and the rest of the Cruise Fish Dive - Spear1up organization.
Susan Kim•Ohio, USMember since 20215.0VerifiedReeled in 30 and 40 pounders!!
Night Trip- 4 Hours on June 11, 2021 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had one adult, 2 teenagers and one child. 4 hour fishing tour. Captain Mark was very experienced and knowledgeable. It was hard work reeling in the barracudas but worth it!!!! Unfortunately, My daughters fish got away. My son was the lucky one who caught 6 fish. The experience was worth the price! Thank you!

Back Bay Fishing MAX 4 on November 27, 2021 • 2 adultsI've been on more private charters than I can count and Capt Brian was BY FAR the most enjoyable, helpful, and experienced fisherman I've gone with. He put us on the fish, taught us countless tips and tricks, and made it so fun. I will absolutely be using CruiseFishDive in the future.

Half Day Trip – Back Bay (AM) MAX 4 on July 2, 2021 • 3 adults • 1 childWe had a great trip wit Captain Bill today!! Our 11-yr old has never caught the type of fish he was able to catch today. It was a great experience for the whole family!! We even had a little Dolphin play time in our boat waves which our son enjoyed as well. Would highly recommend Captain Bill 😊😊

We had the most amazing time with captain Mark and 1st mate Ryan,if you want a trip of a life time then you have to go with Cruise Fish Dive, Spear1up. they will make everything seem so easy and comfortable,they have a wonderful way of teaching you how to fish and also learn about the environment and wild life so that it will be there for generations to come.We had the time of our lives, our son caught a 4 foot barracuda with the help of captain Mark who was so caring. So if you are looking to do some diving , fishing or just anything that has to do with the water, look no further than CruiseFishDive with Spear1up they will make sure that your trip of a life time comes true as ours did. Thanks Captain Mark and 1st mate Ryan you made everything GREAT We look forward to another amazing experience with you soon. Scott ,Michelle,Walker.
Scott, thank you for the kind words and as you know we put our hearts into every aspect of our excursions. I am so proud of Walker pulling off the catch of the day. I tried to upload a pic but it's not working. Look forward to seeing you all in Alaska! See you soon. Capt. Mark Garcy

Fantastic trip! Captain Mark accepted the trip on short notice and worked very hard to give us opportunities for catching big fish. We had a number of chances at big fish, had a number of big fish take the bait but bite us off, but brought in a beautiful barracuda! Highly recommend.
Capt. Marc is wonderful. He puts you on the fish, and shows you how to catch them. I've been fishing all my life, offshore, fly, freshwater, etc. Capt. Marc was great, everyone caught fish, had a great time.
