Aimee Seiler5.0VerifiedBeauiful Day
4 Hour Trip on January 1, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childOur day fishing was wonderful. E&J went above and beyond to make our day great. The cold snap made the fishing slow. E&J made sure we tried many locations and tactics. They strive for success. They took the time to teach us many new things. We were looking for a good day fishing and that is what we got. Our rods were always tended and we were never short for good conversation. We were even able to see dolphins (not good for fishing but a delight). I would book with them again. I was looking for a fun family day fishing and that is what I received. I hope to do it again next year.

Drew MatlockRepeat angler4.7VerifiedNewAmazing Experience
4hr offshore on October 3, 2026 • 6 adultsThis trip was a great experience for my friends and I. We had a blast catching a ton of different species of fish all day and then had them filleted for us after the trip. Captain Eric was amazing to go out with and super easy to talk to. Would recommend to anyone looking to book a fishing trip in the Naples/Bonita Springs area.

Awesome Trip!
6hr offshore on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenIt was too windy to go offshore, but Captain Eric and his First Mate Jace made sure that we had a great time. We caught Snapper, Redfish and even a Bonnet Head Shark! We learned some tips and tricks, got a couple of yummy recipes to try and had great conversation all day. This was an awesome family feel trip- exactly what we were looking for. We highly reccoment E&J- we’ll be back!
Joe Barnett5.0VerifiedFun family afternoon in Estero Bay
4 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on February 19, 2026 • 4 adultsWe had a great time out on the water for an afternoon fishing in the bay. It was too windy to go offshore so Captain Eric took us to a number of inshore spots where we all caught a variety of fish. We are not very experienced but Eric was great giving us the right amount of instruction and keeping our hooks baited and ready to fish. He stayed out a little extra time to let us enjoy the beautiful sunset and then he cleaned our keeper fish to take with us. Eric was very friendly and enjoyable and we would definitely do another trip with him!
Erich CruzRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat family fishing trip!
4 Hour Trip on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had a great family fishing trip with Captain Eric. He was very knowledgeable and knew spots to find fish. Once he saw the bite was slowing down he would move to another spot just to make sure we took home as many fish back. We got a lot of nice snappers and even a Shark! We will definitely be back thank you Captain Eric!
Jessica MartinRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest charter ever!

Paul Peltier5.0Verified5 Star all the way
4 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on April 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenEric is top top notch in all ways. My kids wanted sharks. We caught 8 sharks. Eric had a mastery knowlegde of all things boating and fishing. His equipment and boat is updated with all the tech imaginable for fishing for whatever it is that anyone wants to catch. I cannot say enough good things about our trip. We’ll book with Eric again the next time were in Ft Myers beach.

We only took the 4 hour trip, but it was amazing! The captain and his son were outstanding in every way. Found some trash in the water on the way and he made a considerable extra effort to remove it. The fishing was tough today, but we still caught quite a bit. He gave us a lot of information about the area and types of fish we could expect, and was spot on. They cleaned our catch for us, helped our special needs son with every aspect of the process, helped us with bait and taught us the correct style of presentation. All around fantastic experience, and we would definitely book with them again!
Thank you for booking with us. It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with yall!
Our group went for a 6hr morning charter with Captain Eric and his First Mate Jas ( his son) They got us on the fish right off the bat. They both worked hard making sure our rods always had bait on and removing the different species of fish fish we caught. Cap explained the best way to fish each type of bait to increase our chance for success. He kept on the go all day hunting for the fish not just sitting on a dead spot. We fished different bait, casted spoons, trolled whatever it took to make our trip the most productive and fun for us. We highly recommend his service. Best price, very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Can’t beat that. Thanks Cap for a most enjoyable day. See ya next time.
We had a great time fishing with you guys. Thanks again.
