Fish the Gulf Like a Local — with Captain DJ
Welcome to Gulfshore Fishing Co., where every trip is more than just a charter — it's an unforgettable adventure on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Led by Captain DJ, a Florida native with a lifetime of local knowledge, you'll fish the same reefs and wrecks he grew up on — targeting grouper, snapper, african pompano, amberjack, kingfish, and more. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced angler, you'll enjoy a safe, exciting day full of action and local insight.
Step aboard our 2024 Twin Vee 340 GFX, powered by twin Mercury 400 V10s — a smooth, fast, and comfortable ride to the offshore grounds. Relax on plush bean bags as we run out, and enjoy top-quality tackle, bait, safety gear, and soft drinks provided. (Fuel, licensing, and equipment are all included — just bring sun protection, snacks, and your sense of adventure!)
For 8-hour and longer trips, a professional mate joins Captain DJ to help with rigging, gaffing, and cleaning your catch so you can focus on the fun. A 15–20% gratuity for the crew is customary and always appreciated.
We depart from Punta Rassa Boat Ramp, just minutes from Fort Myers Beach, with optional island pickup available. Make it a full getaway by staying at our partner waterfront Airbnb duplex, just steps from the town center — perfect for relaxing after a day on the water.
Whether you're chasing your first big catch or filling the cooler with fresh Gulf fish, Captain DJ makes every trip personal, memorable, and tailored to you. You'll leave with fish in the box, salt in your hair, and stories that last a lifetime.
If paying with a card after trip, 3.5% fee applied at time of payment!

This was a last minute booking offshore with my wife, my daughter and her boyfriend. The boat is a VERY comfortable catamaran. Captain DJ is a very good fisherman who knows how to catch them, and Mike the mate did all the work for us. We caught several big groupers, and a bunch of various snapper species. Next time in the area I will book them again. Most importantly, they are both kind and patient with teaching and helping us catch the fish. We saw spotted dolphins, loggerhead turtles ans huge sharks as well.
Took my family on a fill your freezer trip, and it paid off. Captain DJ and first mate Mike took care of us. Cought fish and had a comfortable ride. The wave forecast was a little off, the sea were a little lager than expected. The captain’s experience showed on the ride back in. They are definitely a customer service guide. They took good care of all us and worked with my boys to get some of their biggest fish to date. Thank Captain DJ and Mike. We will be back.
Did an 8 hr trip with Captain DJ and First Mate Mike. It was such an amazing trip. We caught so many fish and my son even landed a tiger shark. They made everything seemless and easy and we had a great time. I will definitely book with them again!
We had an amazing time catching so many fish. One of the best fishing experiences we have had, and we have fished for a mong time. Our group will be back for sure. Make sure to go with Gulfshore Fishing company.
Captain DJ and First Mate Mike are both awesome. The boat and tackle is top notch but the crew really worked to get us on the fish. We limited out on vermillion snapper and added a couple big grouper too. Several more grouper were just under keeper size but still a fantastic day on the water. We will book with them again! Thank you Captain and Mike, we appreciate you!
