If you plan on fishing in Bokeelia, look no further than Floridaze Fishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Brandon can tell you all about the local fishery.

These waters hold game fish like Snook, Speckled Trout, Redfish, Tarpon, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Tripletail, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Black Drum, and more with any luck.
You'll target your catch by spinning, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your day begins aboard a 22' Pathfinder bay boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has a fighting chair and all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Floridaze Fishing Charters is just a click away.

    Great saltwater experience!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Growing up with my grandpa running a charter service for salmon on Lake Huron in Michigan I know the challenges captains face. This was my first time in saltwater. Captain Brandon was cautious of the weather and even inquired about changing our slot to give us the best opportunity due to high winds. We couldn't change but he made the best of it. Great guy! Personable, knowledgeable, informative and easy to talk too. For us he felt like reconnecting with annold friend. My wife wasn't going to fish but Captain Brandon didn't ask, he baited a hook, throw out the line and handed her the rod. She caught more than me and the biggest Snook. So we both had a great time. He worked to get us on fish from before we arrived. We had two double headers at the end of the trip too!

    Amazing experience!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on March 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We just had a wonderful peaceful day on the water. Captain Brandon was easy to chat with and willing to move around to find different types of fish. Everybody caught something! we caught trout, redfish and Snook and he even got in the water to try to catch a big snook before it was too smart and got away. Dolphins were a plus! It was a great day, and worth every penny.

    Best boat captain

    Half Day Trip (PM) on April 14, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Brandon knows the area well. He’s a native to Florida and grew up fishing the area. He’s a pretty honest bet to know where the fish are. My 6 year old son caught a keeper snook and we all caught many red fish on a day others were getting skunked. Dinner was delightful. It was a successful day of fishing and will be booking with Brandon in the future.

    Best charter out there!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 28, 2024 • 6 adults

    Brandon was amazing, there was 6 of us that went out, he was so fun and easy to get along with but also so passionate and hard working, he made sure we all got the experience we were hoping for and of course the fish! With Brandon it’s more then just fishing, it truly feels like he goes out of his way to give you the true Florida experience out on the boat. We already can’t wait for our next charter with him and would highly recommend!

    Great experience!

    3/4 Day Trip on February 16, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Brandon was such a great guide. His boat and gear were all in great condition and setup perfectly. He is so patient and helpful and very enjoyable to fish with and we caught a pile of fish of all different varieties. He made sure we got the most out of our trip and was so great with kids and inexperienced fishermen. He’s very knowledgeable and went above and beyond what we expected, we would highly recommend him and will fish with him in the future.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Fishing these waters is not only a job for me but a passion, and I work tirelessly to track fish throughout the year to ensure my guests have the best day possible. I am a 7th generation Floridian and the 3rd generation to fish these waters. Since the time I could hold a rod, I have fished the same waters I bring guests out to. Guiding has been a dream of mine since I was a child. It is the only job I have ever had that I never snooze my alarm, even as much as I value sleep.
