Sanibel Island is conveniently situated among some of Fort Myers’ most productive fisheries. With Pine Island Sound to the north, San Carlos Bay to the east, and the open Gulf to the west, your options are as endless as the horizon.

Captain Michael Werner runs several different charters out of the Fort Myers area, and he knows these waters like the back of his hand. His Captiva Island charter will have you fishing Pine Island Sound, Tarpon Bay, and all the way down to San Carlos Bay.

You’ll head out into some of the most productive fishing grounds from Punta Rassa, conveniently located on the edge of San Carlos Bay. The boat ramp is about a 15-minute boat ride to Tarpon Bay and a 35-minute ride to Pine Island Sound.

For all those wonderful outings to the sea, you’ll join the captain on his 2017 Sportsman 312 central console. The boat is 32’ long and there’s ample room for up to 6 passengers. Two 300 HP Yamaha engines will help you slice the waves effortlessly. Additionally, the vessel is fitted with Simrad fishfinding equipment.
