    Awesome time!!

    Half Day Inshore Trip AM 4 hour • 2 adults

    Captain Cody put us on the fish right away. We got to battle tarpon, goliath grouper, snapper and several other species. He then took us to a different area to keep checking fish off the list…he did not dissapoint! Trip is best for 2-3 people and Cpt Cody will take care of the rest.

    Great Trip

    4 hour shark • 3 adults • 1 child

    capt. Cody was awesome. He made sure we were having fun even though we couldn't hook up with the target species. He went above and beyond trying to get us our shark we wanted. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning for another visit.

    Awesome Experience

    3/4 Day Trip 6 hour • 2 adults

    Me and my Husband had an amazing time fishing with Captain Cody! He was very patient and helpful with my lack of fishing experience. Great company as well. We highly recommend booking a charter with him. Looking forward to another trip with him when we’re back in the area.

    3/4 Day with Vera Vita, Definitely Recommend

    3/4 Day Trip 6 hour • 5 adults

    Cody and Ryan were absolutely awesome! They made us all feel super welcome and comfortable as soon as we got on. They were really helpful in teaching a bunch of freshwater fishing boys how to saltwater fish. They even taught them about the fish, their names of the fish, how to hold them, etc. I would definitely recommend booking with these guys! Extremely attentive and kind, we will book with them again!

    Response from Captain

    Hope to have y'all back. You guys were awesome!

What's biting with Vera Vita Charters in Punta Gorda

Now that the Tarpon craze is dying down, set your sights on the big game fishing offshore. You can enjoy excellent fishing for Snapper, Grouper, and a few fall Spanish Mackerel near the pass.

Great day with my good buddy Antonio, his father, and his son. We caught over 25 snook, got on an insane trout bite, and put 3 tarpon in the air. Those boys make those 16-17in trout look small ?

Grouper season 23’!

Jan 1, 2024 • Punta Gorda
The reef has been hot lately! Full of action! We decided to take a break from the sailfishing and decided to go after yellowtail snapper and grouper on the last day of the 2023 season and boy did it pay off! Box full of good eating fish including a stud of a 35 pound black grouper. Great way to end the season!
