Fishing is Captain Joel's passion in life. He just loves getting the fish in the cooler and putting smiles on customers' faces. The best thing for Capt. Joel about running charters is seeing the excitement when they hook into something big. He's been fishing his whole life, and has even caught a 600 lb Goliath Grouper. With such success, it's no wonder he was able to turn his passion into a full-time job! He's sure to get the big fish on the boat for you.

    Joel was one of the top rated captains on fishing booker in the Naples area. We hooked into Spanish mackerel as soon as we got to our first spot. We caught many other species of fish including bonita, blue runner, nurse shark, Atlantic sharp nose shark, and a massive tiger shark! It was an incredible trip!

    My husband and son each caught about a dozen fish but the winner was an 80 lb kingfish that my 13 yr old son caught. It took him about 20 min to reel this big guy in. Joel was very helpful! They were also trying to catch a 14-16’ tiger shark that was hanging out around the boat. Didn’t catch that guy but it was fun to watch. Highly recommend Joel!

    I wasn't on this trip, but I kept getting text notices of it that I thought were some sort of scam - obviously a wrong number. Certainly looks like you had a great time. Wish I were there.
