Captain Griffin's Fishing Charters stands out from the sea of boats in Fort Myers for a few good reasons. Capt. Griffin Lowry is a native of SW Florida and has enjoyed fishing here his whole life. His boat is well-maintained and fast, and he has a wide range of equipment onboard. In short, he has the skills, the gear, and the passion to get you on some incredible catches.

Spend your day fishing the nearshore waters or the backcountry. Fort Myers is famous for its endless back bays, bayous, flats, and mangroves. Explore just a fragment of these and you will find Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, and more. Head out further, and Kingfish, Tripletail, Sheepshead, and even Cobia join the cast of incredible sport and table fish.

Even if you don't want to fish at all, you can still enjoy a great day on the water. Head out on an eco tour to learn about this magical part of the country. See dolphins, wild birds, and untouched wetlands with a local guide who is passionate about the area.

You will be fishing aboard a 22' Pathfinder 2200 TE bay boat powered up to 60 knots by a 200 HP Yamaha V Max Sho engine. The vessel's flat bottom and trolling motor let you chase tailing fish deep into the skinny waters, while her GPS and fishfinder make it just as easy to stay on top of nearshore species.

Once you find your fish, you will have plenty of options of how to catch it. Capt. Griffin stocks both light and heavy tackle, allowing you to take on any fish with confidence. You will also have the chance to try out techniques like live baiting, spinning, and bottom fishing.

Anglers of all ages are welcome aboard, and Capt. Griffin is always happy to show children and beginners how to reel in their first fish. So whether you're a seasoned angler looking for a SIlver King worthy of the throne, or a family of four out for fun and a few fish, you will find the perfect trip with Captain Griffin's Fishing Charters.

    Fun Day for My Family

    Half Day Trip (AM) on November 21, 2023 • 3 adults

    We had a great day fishing with Griffin. He was on time, loaded with bait, and took us to spots where we were catching fish the whole time. He knew we were interested in some keepers, so moved around to find the fish. We ended up with a couple keepers that made a great dinner that night. Griffin is a nice guy – polite, helpful, informed and made sure our 14 year-old and us had a great time. Good communicator before the trip and during. Highly recommend. Thanks Griffin for an awesome day!

    Half day trip with Captain Griffin.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 21, 2022 • 4 adults

    Targeted Snapper and Tarpon. We ended up catching many Snapper Snook Jack even a Grouper and barracuda. Cpt Griffin did a great job. If we weren't on the fish in 10 minutes we were gone to the next spot. He did an amazing job finding the fish and making sure we were having fun! My three kids and I were very happy. Thanks again Cpt. Griffin!

    Half Day Trip with Capt Griffin

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 26, 2021 • 3 adults

    This trip was phenomenal. Capt Griffin is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to his clients. His boat is fast, comfortable, and well equipped. We were on the fish 10 minutes in to our trip, and the action never let up. We hooked in to 6 species of fish as well as a big bull shark way up in a creek. Amazing day of fishing for my father, brother, and myself. Highly recommended!

    Six Hour Trip with Captain Griffin, Fort Meyers Beach, Florida

    3/4 Day Trip on October 23, 2021 • 2 adults

    Great trip with Captain Griffin’s Fishing Charters & Tours. Plenty of fish caught in multiple locations. Captain Griffin knows the area waters well and knows where to find fish. We caught our snapper limit in two hours and boated snook, redfish and jack all day. Captain Griffin was an excellent host and expert boatsman / fisherman. Looking forward to our next charter.

Great experience!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 1, 2024 • 2 adults

Really enjoyed our first time out inshore/nearshore fishing! Caught about 6 different pieces and saw plenty of nature including dolphins, barracuda, osprey, etc. He came prepared with fresh caught live bait and made it to where our priority was to enjoy ourselves and catch fish. Totally recommend Capt Griffin and would go out with him again.
