    Bucket-List Fishing Trip — Goliath Grouper and 10+ Tarpon Landed!

    8 Hour Trip – Tarpon - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    Absolutely incredible experience fishing with Dylan at Boca Grande and Beyond! From the very beginning, Dylan was extremely responsive, professional, and easy to work with — and even better, he’s a fantastic guy to spend the day/night with on the water. Dylan worked nonstop to keep us on fish and made sure we were always in the action. His effort and knowledge of the area really showed. We caught a true bucket-list Goliath grouper and hooked into around 20 tarpon, landing more than 10 — an unforgettable day and easily one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had. If you’re considering a charter in the Boca Grande area, do yourself a favor and book with Dylan at Boca Grande and Beyond. You won’t find someone who works harder or cares more about making sure you have an amazing day. We will 100% be booking with Dylan again the next time we’re in the area!

    Great day on the water!

    September - November Inshore • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Dylan took my 9 yr old son and I out for a great day on the water. Hit loads of snapper and snook. Hooks were back in water as quick as the fish were off. Put us on some gag and Goliath grouper as well that put up an awesome fight. 4hr inshore trip was as perfect as the snapper tacos we had for dinner that evening.

    Best Experience Ever

    10 Hour Trip – Tarpon • 1 adult

    Great captain, great boat, great fish. You couldn’t ask for anything more. Hooked up on Tarpon, Goliath Grouper, and awesome Snook. Excellent experience overall for anyone. Also, Dylan was very accommodating of my days since the weekend was super busy with boaters so the schedule had to be modified.
