McKenzie Charter Company 

We had an incredible 6-hour fishing trip with Capt. Wills McKenzie! What really stood out was his willingness to customize the day around exactly what we wanted to fish for. We wanted Tarpon—and we got Tarpon! We also caught Grouper, Snook, and Snapper, with continuous action throughout the entire day. Beyond the fantastic fishing, Wills was simply a great guy to spend the day with. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. We’ve used FishingBooker for trips in various locations around Florida, and our experience with Capt. Wills was by far our favorite. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough and will absolutely fish with him again!

We had an absolutely fantastic day inshore fishing with Captain Wills. From the moment we got on the boat he was enthusiastic, informative, and incredibly accommodating. He clearly loves what he does and it shows. The fishing was nonstop action. We caught a ton of snook, snapper, jack crevalle, and Spanish mackerel throughout the day. Captain Wills kept us on the fish and made sure we always had a line in the water. The highlight of the trip was when we stumbled upon a massive school of jacks busting on the surface. We dropped our lines in and immediately doubled up—catching multiple fish at once. It was absolute chaos in the best possible way and had us laughing the whole time. Captain Wills also went out of his way to pick us up and drop us off at our preferred location, which we really appreciated and made the whole experience even easier. Beyond the great fishing, he made the entire day fun and memorable - plenty of laughs, great conversation, and constant action. Highly recommend booking with Captain Wills if you’re looking for a great day on the water. Thanks again, Captain Wills!

We had a great time. Our plan was to target, snook, snapper and reds. We stopped at one of the Capt. Willl’s hotspots and the non stop action of snook and snapper was outstanding we didn’t won’t leave. Snook after snook, snapper action was good, probably lost twice as many as we landed; no fault of Captain. For bass fishermen, not setting the hook is a challenge. lol. I ended the evening with my personal best snook, 29”.

This is the first fishing charter for our family, and let me just say, it far exceeded our expectations. As a Port Charlotte native, the captain was very knowledgeable about the fish and the area. He was very dedicated to ensuring we caught a lot of fish (Tarpon and Snook), and that we had an amazing time! His eagerness to teach our family the ropes of fishing for Tarpon made for a engaging experience, and we will definitely be back for more memories!

we caught tarpon and snook. had us on fish all day. Wills was the best captain ive fished with! Awesome day of fishing! would recommend 100%.

What a great trip. Kids were 8 and 11 and captain was great with them. Well worth the money and time. Recommend to all!

Captain Will was great to work with. His personal experience in knowledge with the area was spot on. We had the opportunity to fish a wide area. It was fun, catching the Chinooks as they put up quite a fight. I would highly recommend booking with Captain Will again.

great time out with Captain Mckenzie caught back to PB snooks and fought a lot of tarpon he made sure we all got on some big ones and landed a few as well overall great time and experience and would recommend to anyone going for tarpon and snook

Captain Wills is very fun and knowledgeable! For two people who don’t fish very often, he was very patient and good at putting us on fish. I would recommend this Captain to anyone who is wanting a fun experience. Patience, flexibility, fun.

we had a great time. Wills is such a great guy and very accommodating in every way. we picked a pretty difficult day with choppy seas and a rising tide, and he put us on the fish anyway.
