Fort Myers has a fish with your name on it, so let Lost Anchor Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Kevin is prepared to put you on fish.

Local species include Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Bull Shark, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, Flounder, and more! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Trips with Lost Anchor Charters are kid-friendly, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be welcome aboard a 24' Sailfish center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Kevin will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

The Boys Ate Big — Thanks Captain Kevin!
Half Day Fishing Trip on June 13, 20265 adults

11/10 experience with Captain Kevin! Our goal was simple: catch enough fish to feed a hungry bachelor party crew. Captain Kevin understood the assignment and absolutely delivered. He took us to some great spots, kept us on fish all day, and made the entire trip a blast from start to finish. Thanks to Kevin’s knowledge and hard work, the coolers were full, the grill was busy, and the boys ate like kings. The action was nonstop, and we ended up bringing home plenty of fish for an unforgettable bachelor party feast. If you’re looking for a captain who knows where the fish are, works hard to make sure everyone has a great time, and delivers results, Captain Kevin is your guy. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!

Full Day with Captain Kevin
Full Day Fishing Trip on May 3, 2026

I have been on alot of charters before and this was easily the best experience i have ever had. The boat was great, equipment was amazing and the fishing was incredible. In terms of a captain i have never experienced a friendlier and more knowledgeable captain. He put us on every type of fish we were targeting including a massive 150+ pound tarpon which was a bucket list fish for both me and my brother. I would recommend this charter highly and i am sure we will be heading back down to fish with him again sooner than we were planning. 10/10 recommend.

Tarpon trip at night
on June 5, 2026

I booked a trip to target tarpon and Capt Kevin did just that for my son. We did an evening trip and in about and hour we hooked into a tarpon under the Sanibel bridge. Capt Kevin was very knowledgeable about how to land this fish and we did. He was able to run down the fish and keep instructing my son on what to do so we didn’t lose the fish. I can say what an excellent experience it was to have him as the Capt for this trip. I will use him again and again for my trips. Thank You Vapt Kevin for the memories you help my son go home with.
