Fish On Adventure Charters invites you to explore the inshore and nearshore waters of Southwest Florida. The company is operated by Captain Michael, a local professional who enjoys being part of the breathtaking nature of that part of the world. Let him show you, your family, friends, and fishing buddies the art of fishing!

Hop onboard Michael’s 25’ Contender bay boat. There is plenty of space for up to 6 anglers to fish, sit, or just daydream. The boat is outfitted with navigational electronics, fish-finding equipment, and the finest gear to make great catches possible. All aboard!

Fish On Adventure Charters can cater to anglers of all skill levels and ages. Introduce your child to fishing or take your friends out for a fun day on the water. Learn a new technique if you are a complete beginner or master your cast. Test yourself in bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning.

Get your hands on Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Trout. Spend your day chasing mighty Tarpon or target Shark if you are a big fan of fangs. Fish for Mangrove Snapper and Lane Snapper, Gag Grouper or Cobia and Kingfish a bit further out.

Whichever trip you choose, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just bring your own drinks and food, everything else is covered. Capt. Michael will provide all the necessary rods, reels, tackle, licenses, and bait. As well as that, he will send your catch home cleaned and ready to go straight into the frying pan.
