Nauti Roddy Charters
If you plan on fishing in Cape Coral, look no further than Nauti Roddy Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jim is prepared to put you on fish.
These waters are known for Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Cobia, Sheepshead, Gag Grouper, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Ladyfish, Mangrove Snapper, sharks and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! Depending on the species, we usually start with medium tackle and move to heavier tackle for Sharks, Tarpon or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Jim welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, less Xbox and more tackle box! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own.
You'll be dropping lines from a 25' Sportsman 247 Masters center console that can fish up to 4 passengers comfortably. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without: Jack plate, dual power poles, double 12" Simrad screens with advanced mapping software and Minn Kota trolling motor.
Capt. Jim will supply rods, reels, live bait and needed lures for you. The boat has 65 quart cooler with ice and water. Don't forget to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized! Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), polarized sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid glass bottles.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Second Trip - Awesome Like The First!
My daughter and I recently took our second charter trip with Captain Jim. Like our first trip in March 2022, this one on New Year's Day 2025 was amazing! This New Year's Day Captain Jim took us on a 6 hour cruise around Cape Coral, Sanibel and Ft. Myers Beach. He knows the area well and all the right places to go. We had a steady day of fishing, watching dolphins chase the boat, sunsets, and beautiful scenery everywhere. Got lots of great pictures, and even better memories. In March 2022, we had a longer 8 hour day cruise that ended with a beautiful sunset. That trip, we had a long eventful day on the water. Lots of great fishing, a stop at the beach to walk around, more fishing, and dinner at the Cabbage Key Restaurant. While there, we saw manatees up close at the dock. Talk about majestic creatures! Overall, both trips were incredible and filled with many firsts for us - from different species fish caught, to getting up close to marine life only before seen in pictures. Oh, and the sunsets...absolutely beautiful on both trips. All experiences like these MUST be seen and felt in person. I highly recommend you book a charter with Captain Jim and get out there on the water. You will not be disappointed!

The fishing started slow but Captain Roddy did not give up! He kept trying different places until we started to catch trout and Lady fish and then my grandson caught a shark! Captain Roddy made sure that we made wonderful memories!

Full Day Trip with Captain Jim Roddy
Always such a wonderful time going out fishing with Captain Jim. He finds the best spots and gets us hooked! Hooked on all the fishies, that is. When we see dolphins, he'll make sure to give us time to watch them play, and grab some pictures and video. Never a dull moment on the Nauti Roddy Charter. Thank Captain Jim!
