Spend the day with Flatfin Fishing Charters and let them show you what makes fishing in Southwest Florida so memorable! Based in Fort Myers and serving the surrounding areas, including Bokeelia, Bonita Springs, and Naples, this charter offers personalized fishing trips with flexible departure options. With Captain Robert at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Top targets include Snook, Redfish, and more. For these species, you're likely to spin fish using light tackle. Capt. Robert also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Capt. Robert is happy to have kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be casting lines from a 2023 19' Tarpon Boatworks flats boat with room for up to 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials a fishing machine needs.

Capt. Robert has rods and reels for you. Live bait is included, but it's a good idea to ask about this so you know if 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 look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

    Great day on the water

    6 Hr – Fishing Adventure on April 22, 2025 • 3 adults

    Capt Rob really knows these waters. If the fish weren’t biting in one location, moved us to another area and got us on the fish. He was patient with us but really made it an enjoyable trip. Probably the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with so far, and learned a few new things. Highly recommend doing a trip with him, you won’t regret it.

    Great day on the water with Rob

    4 Hr – Fishing Adventure on April 23, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had a blast out on the water fishing! We caught quite a few fish and saw some dolphins. Rob was a great Captain, we will definitely be booking with him again when we come back. He is super flexible, professional and helpful. We sometimes forgot we had paid him to take us out, it felt like we were fishing with a friend! Highly recommend!!!

    Great Mornjnf

    4 Hr – Fishing Adventure on March 8, 2024 • 2 adults

    Robert was very communicative in terms of pre charter (location, what to wear, bring, last minute questions)..he had lots of water on board for us. The boys caught fish (snook/snapper/red fish), Robert knows his spots. I would definitely recommend him for a small group (2-3). Boat was clean and perfect for what we needed.
