4 Hour Trip – Tarpon
Highly Recommend, Best Experience
I cannot recommend Captain Ethan enough! From the communication, to the fishing, and everything in between, we had the best time! He was so accommodating with our pickup/dropoff, schedule, and group. We had ages 9-75 and everyone had an amazing trip!! He knows the best spots and is knowledgeable and personable. His passion for what he does exudes in him and is contagious. Now my 9yo son has a new passion and career goal. Catching a tarpon was definitely the highlight of our trip!!

Captain Ethan himself and the whole experience he provided were simply wonderful! He was kind, funny, accommodating, and knew where to find the fish!! We will definitely use him again when we come back to Sanibel. Highly recommend.

4 Hour Trip – Back Bay
Wonderful day on the water - worth booking!
Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour excursion with Captain Ethan. He worked hard to make sure we caught fish, moving as necessary, and he was a pleasure to be with throughout the trip. Was very patient with those less experienced in our group and freely shared his vast knowledge of the area and wildlife. Would book again!

6 Hour Trip – Offshore Wreck/Reef
Capt Ethan was amazing
We had such a great time and have fished with Capt Ethan twice in the last year. We have caught some big fish and some little fish, and he always comes prepared with lots of bait. He is knowledgeable on where to find the best fish! This was a perfect cozy day on the water with an awesome Captain!!
