If you're going to cast a line in SW Florida look no further than Matlacha Saltwater Outfitters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Whitney can tell you all about them. 

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Skipjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Warsaw Grouper, and who knows what else! On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to keep their stamina going!

Capt. Whitney will bring you aboard a 29' Billistic center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Whitney will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Matlacha Saltwater Outfitters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Cape Coral. So, how about booking that trip?

Off shore trip with Captain Dan
Offshore Slam Full Day on December 27, 2025
Our offshore fishing experience was absolutely incredible! Capt Dan took great care of us. He was thorough and patient helping make everyone on board feel safe and confident. He took us to several sweet spots where we caught several red snapper and grouper. Our entire group had a blast! If this is your first time going out or you have been out many times, you won’t be disappointed when you book with Capt. Dan!
Reported catch:
Red Grouper

Awesome offshore fishing day with Captain Dan
Offshore Slam Full Day on December 20, 2025
Had a great day offshore fishing with Captain Dan and caught lots of fish- several kinds of snapper and grouper. Yum! Fishing offshore is very different than the Indiana lakes I was used to and Dan made sure I knew what to do and encouraged me along the way. It is so much fun to reel em in and I can’t wait for another day on the water.
