Book a longer trip to catch multiple species, or offshore species, or a shorter trip if you’re looking for a specific close to shore fish and are tighter on time.

Bowditch Point Charters

If you are fishing in the morning, especially in March, make sure to dress appropriately (pants, jacket, etc). We used a waterproof case for our phones so we could take videos and pics quickly and didn't have to worry about getting phone wet. And most importantly, Jack knows what he is doing so just relax and enjoy the fishing time!

Captain Santiago was excellent! He put us on fish right away and we caught the entire time. Highlight was catching a giant grouper, huge redfish and beautiful snook as well as a couple big jacks. Top notch operation and he knows how to catch fish! Boat was beautiful as well, pretty much brand new with high end electronics.

We did the half-day weekend trip with Captain Stanley. My 8 year-old loves fishing, and Captain Stanley taught us many things about the fish and other wildlife. Stanley was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. We caught plenty of fish and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend a trip with 2 Thumbs Up!

My friend and I were visiting south west Florida for a couple of weeks. We decided to go on a fishing excursion. We had a lot of fun catching sea trout, snook and red snapper. Dalton is a pro and knows what he is doing. After this experience, I wouldn’t choose anyone else for my next fishing excursion. Thank you Dalton!

Didn’t have much time, and so the 2-Hr trip was all I could do. Captain Bobby put right on top of three type of fish right away ( Snook, Jacks and Speckled trout were biting this morning). Caught almost a dozen fish and had time to go check out a “herd” of manatees on the way back to the Marina! 👍🏼👍🏼
