Hookin' Snook Charters
+13Make an adventure out of your next trip to Matlacha and go fishing with Hookin’ Snook Charters. Captain Dylan will be your guide, giving you access to years of local experience.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, Pompano, Mangrove Snapper, and who knows what else! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask, and your captain can tell you more.
On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. You’re free to keep some of the fish you catch so long as regulations allow it. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned, so keep a cooler ready in the car. The charter boat covers your fishing license.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 22’ Bay boat with space for 4 passengers. It comes with and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time, so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Also, it’s a good idea to bring drinks and snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 22, 2025
We booked a 4 hour charter out of Sanibel. The captain dropped a pin where we would meet him the morning of and it was very easy to find him. Communication prior to the charter was very easy. Once on the boat, we caught upwards of 30 fish between 3 of us. My 6 year old son had an amazing time, caught a bunch of fish and cannot wait to do it again next year! Can’t recommend Captain Dylan enough! He was patient and helpful to all of us, especially my son.

3/4 Day Trip on July 25, 2025
Capt Dylan treated our family of 6 to a great day on the water. We caught a large variety of fish (at least 8 different types) and took home plenty to eat later! The captain was very knowledgeable and put us on the types of fish we wanted to catch. He kept us supplied with live bait, and was very patient and helpful with our 8 year old who had a blast. Fully recommend Captain Dylan and Hookin’ Snook Charters!

Your captain
Sanibel, Florida, United States
Born and raised in Southwest Florida, my father had me on the water fishing with him since I was 2 years old. I'm very passionate about teaching others the art of fishing and respecting the ocean and our waterways. My goal for every trip is to make awesome memories you'll never forget. Safety is always a top priority of mine.
