Captain Paul's Yacht Charters invites you to explore the beautiful waters of Southwest Florida and enjoy one or more activities offered. Captain Paul is a laid back charter operator who wants everyone aboard his vessel to have a relaxing and fun time, and he'll give his all to providing you with a memorable experience.

Choose your destination and let the captain know what you'd like to see. He's known these waters for years and has a wealth of knowledge to share. The boat has a large cockpit where kids can even get to steer the helm! The whole family is welcome aboard and Capt. Paul will ensure you all enjoy.

Autumn Henry5.0VerifiedAbsolutely amazing
4 Hour Trip on August 4, 2026 • 6 adultsCannot recommend enough. Not only are they amazing, the boat is so cool with a rustic antique charm with lots of years of stories. The fishing was so cool (saltwater catfish, starfish, puffer fish, and hammerheads). They’re just awesome guys and we cannot recommend a more personal experience. Skip the commercialized/highly advertised fishing charters and book with Paul and Mark. You truly will not forget it.
Justin MclimansRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFamily Friendly Experience
4 Hour Trip on July 9, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childWe had an amazing time with Captain Paul! His first mate and him were very friendly. We were out as a family of five and had a great overall experience. We caught many fish, including small sharks. We cruised in his beautiful yacht, took a dip in the water, and followed a couple groups fo dolphins around. Great experience and highly recommended for family!
Amy GarrettRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAugust fishing trip
5 Hour Trip on August 11, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Paul and the first mate (forgot his name) did awesome with us. The kids had a blast catching everything. We caught alot of catfish but the kids didn’t care. We did catch some hammerhead sharks and some spinner sharks. It was definitely worth what we paid.

Fun boat with some fishing
5 Hour Trip on April 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had a great time! We cruised around to see some of the sights and then we fished, catching two bonnet-head sharks, one blacktip reef shark, one puffer fish, and multiple catfish! Captain Paul let my son steer the boat to a good swimming spot. We did have multiple sightings of dolphins! Paul and Marcos were extremely helpful, making the day more enjoyable! We will book with Captain Paul again.

Captain Paul helped us experience a great fishing trip. Between him and his first mate we were educated on fishing, the area, his yacht and bees… yes I said bees. (First mate gave me ideas to take back home to help our bees. Captain Paul was so knowledgeable and he just made our trip the best. We will definitely be back next year.

Captain Paul is a retired NYCPD Sargent of the Scuba Team. He runs relaxed trips and is comfortable if people don't want to fish .We CATCH AND RELEASE. .Having run site-seeing charters, dolphin-watching, and shelling trips since 2000 in the area, he understands that people want different things. He wants to make you feel at home. I love everything about the water, above or below it.
