Captain Jesse was an incredible captain! He picked my kids and me up from the dock at our condo on Lemon Bay. It was a rainy/stormy day, but Captain Jesse still put us on fish and kept us out of the storm. The kids caught plenty, and we put several fish in the cooler to eat for dinner. My kids and I enjoyed our fishing trip and highly recommend Gills and Thrills Charter! We would fish with him again if we're back in the area!
We had a company outing and had a fantastic time. The captain was extremely knowledgeable and had a great personality. The boat and gear were all top notch! We will definitely be booking again!
Captain Jesse is great, knows his stuff and will put you on some good fish. We caught our limit of snapper as well as a huge shark. 10/10 recommend 🙌🏻

Your captain
Englewood, Florida, United States
I'm Capt. Jesse Kammerer, owner of Gills and Thrills Charters, a veteran-owned fishing charter based in Boca Grande and Englewood, Florida. My goal isn't just to put you on fish it's to give you a trip you'll remember long after the day is over. Whether you're an experienced angler chasing the trophy snook or tarpon of a lifetime, or you're bringing your family out for their very first fishing adventure, I'll tailor every trip to your experience level and goals. I take pride in creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, from young kids to seasoned fishermen. You'll fish aboard a comfortable, fully equipped boat using quality tackle while targeting Southwest Florida's most sought-after species, including snook, redfish, speckled trout, tarpon, sheepshead, and more, depending on the season. As a U.S. Army veteran and U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain, I believe in professionalism, safety, and treating every guest like family. I work hard before the trip to stay on the fish so you can spend more time catching and less time searching. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler, land your personal best, or simply enjoy an unforgettable day on the water with family and friends, I'd be honored to be your captain. Come see why so many guests leave as friends. Let's make your next fishing story one worth telling!
