Welcome to Paradise!
There's nothing like spending a great day on the water! Join us for an epic, adventure filled day! Whether we are cruising and fishing the inland waters of the intercoastal waterway, or venturing out into the beautiful emerald waters and deep blues found offshore, we want to make your day a great experience!

We make it easy for you! We provide all the rods and reels, bait, tackle and equipment, ice for the cooler and we provide a fishing license that covers everyone on board! We have a flushing toilet on board as well for your convenience.

Our deep V, twin engine powered center console is well known for its soft and comfortable ride even in less than ideal sea conditions. Her twin engines help slice thru the water and get you to the fishing hole fast and comfortable!

Young ones are always welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Make sure to let us know so we can have children's life vests. We welcome all experience levels!

We welcome you to bring whatever food, drinks and snacks you'd like to enjoy on the water. On our longer trips, you can even have the option of stopping at one of our local favorite restaurants for lunch or a quick drink! (Notify us before the start of the trip if this is something you'd like to do).

You'll be amazed at how fast time goes by when your having FUN!

At the end of the day, we are happy to fillet your catch for you! We are happy to share some of the local restaurants that will cook your fresh catch or we can share our favorite recipes!

We keep our boat in St James City City, but can also arrange for pickups from Sanibel, Captiva and Fort Myers.

Born and raised in South Florida, I have always had an affinity for water and drawn to it. My most fond memories growing up all revolve around playing sports and having a rod in my hand. Form an early age, my excitement for fishing trips would keep me awake in anticipation of the next days adventure.. As I've grown older and maybe a little wiser, my passions have only grown. While we had lots of success, the days of little to no success would drive me crazy and pushed me to practice my craft and try to learn more and more. Fishing to me is not just a passion, it is a way of life. Plus, the views out of my office are pretty sweet. I traded in a job wearing a suit and tie to spend my days on the water, teaching and educating anglers. I often get told this is the biggest grouper, snapper, amberjack, etc etc Ive ever caught. This puts a genuine smile and grin on my face. It is something I strive to do, and take pride in doing regularly.
