Gasparilla Guide Service

Member since April 2026 Boca Grande, United States

Background: Captain Chad Gist grew up in Englewood and spent much of his childhood on Boca Grande, Useppa Island, and Cabbage Key. His first job was as a dockhand at Miller's Marina, where he was immersed in the local fishing culture from an early age. After spending many years in corporate America while raising his family, Chad always found his way back to Englewood to fish and enjoy the Southwest Florida lifestyle. Gasparilla Guide Service was born from his desire to share the same 'old-school' fishing experience he grew up with - simple, authentic, and memorable. Chad is a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captain and a proud member of the Boca Grande Fishing Guides Association.
