  Captain Scott is the best in the business

  4 Hour Trip (AM) FOR 1 PERSON on July 11, 2026 • 1 adult

  I’ve chartered many boats over the years, and this was the best experience I’ve ever had. Catching fish is great, but hanging out with Captain Scott is worth the price of admission. Which by the way, his rates are probably the most cost-friendly admission fees in the state! Scott’s communication prior to the trip was great. His directions to the landing are very easy to follow. He wants you to catch fish. And that we did. PLENTY! But even if we had only caught one, the experience would’ve still been a 10/10. If you lose your bait, he’s got the other one ready before you even reel up. If you hook something big, he’s got the net ready the second he hears the drag. And if you have an actual sense of humor, he’s got the jokes and stories locked & loaded! I want to come back to FL just to get on his boat again! Don’t even bother looking at the other charters.

  Captain Scott is the best! 😊

  4 Hour Trip (AM) FOR 2 PEOPLE on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults

  My husband and I booked a fishing charter with Captain Scott Green as part of our wedding anniversary trip, and fishing with Captain Scott and First Mate Steve was the highlight of our entire vacation. This was my very first saltwater fishing experience, while my husband, Jesse, is a highly experienced angler. Returning to the Florida Gulf felt like coming home for him, and Captain Scott and Steve did an exceptional job creating an experience that was enjoyable for both of us despite our very different skill levels. As a beginner, I received patient instruction, encouragement, and guidance throughout the trip. At the same time, my husband was able to fish freely and enjoy being on fish the entire time. Between the two of us, we caught more than a dozen fish during our four-hour charter (not all keepers but so much fun!), and there was never a dull moment. By the end of the trip, we were so tired from actively fishing that we asked to take a break. Rather than simply ending the trip early, Captain Scott took us on a scenic tour of the area so we could enjoy the remainder of our time on the water. It was such a thoughtful gesture that topped off an already amazing trip. Afterward, Captain Scott cleaned our fish and recommended a local restaurant that prepared our catch for dinner. It was the perfect ending to an incredible day. We were also delighted to discover that Captain Scott is a fellow Midwesterner, which made the experience feel even more personal. He and First Mate Steve were both very kind and hilariously funny. Captain Scott is professional, hardworking, and genuinely committed to making sure his guests have a great time. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or trying saltwater fishing for the very first time, you'll be in excellent hands. We came home with a ton of fish, wonderful memories, and sore arms from reeling them in. Of everything we did during our anniversary trip, our day on the water with Captain Scott and Steve is the memory we'll treasure most. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

  Book with Scott!

  4 Hour Trip (AM) FOR 4 PEOPLE on July 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Best experience ever! Scott was a great captain. I would love book the exact same trip every time in I’m Siesta Key. There were 4 of us for 4 hours. My son-in-law and twin 11yo daughters. One daughter is slightly disabled and Scott made sure she was taken care of the entire time. We were so impressed that there was no down time without bait. We limited out on trout, caught 3 sharks, and a bluefish. We caught more than we could keep track of. Scott was very personable and appropriate.

  great trip with Scott

  4 Hour Trip (AM) FOR 2 PEOPLE on October 15, 2026 • 2 adults

  Scott knows what he doing and where fish are. caught some out of season fish we had to toss back but he put us on some barracuda, whuch ive never caught. Used blue runners we caught, he rigged them up and we caught a 40” and 54”. Kept the 40” to eat. Definitely recommend Scott.

  Great Day of Fishing!

  4 Hour Trip (AM) FOR 2 PEOPLE on April 28, 2026 • 2 adults

  Had a great morning out on the water with Captian Scott! Caught and released over 40 fish mostly Lady Fish, Mackeral and large trout. He put us right on the fish and we didnt move all morning. Spent the time bonding over fishing in other states, and sharing stories of other hunting and fishing adventures while catching! Would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to get out and throw a few lines!
