Cruise Fish Dive – Fish 4 Life

Join Cruise Fish Dive for an amazing day of fishing along the mangrove estuaries. Start out of Cape Coral from Safe Harbor Marina with Capt. Andy Santana, and fish the back bays, oyster beds, mangrove shorelines, passes, and docks for a wide variety of fish. These trips are best suited for small parties under 4 people when fishing in the back bays. You’ll have an excellent choice of inshore, river, flats, and backcountry destinations to go to. Whether you desire to fish for fun or have an experience of a lifetime, Cruise Fish Dive will carefully plan your trip accordingly. This boat and Captain also can accommodate up to 6 guests for any other type of fishing trip offshore out to 9 miles. We also offer combo trips from snorkeling, dolphin encounters, narrated eco tours and more.

The adventure starts on the Fish 4 Life, a 22’ Pathfinder with power pole and latest navigation electronics. It can seat up to 6 guests and runs on a 300 HP Yamaha engine. It’s got quality navigation gear to keep you on the course all the time. It is equipped with a livewell and an ice-box. Snorkeling equipment will be available at your request.

Cruise Fish Dive primarily follows catch and release policy, but make sure you call them and check for details. There will be no smoking and alcohol drinking during the trip, but welcome to bring beer or soft drinks.
