Our family of 6 booked a half-day charter with Captain Joe during our week at Sanibel. As soon as we completed the reservation on fishing booker, Captain Joe was calling us on the phone. He was enthusiastic and ready to go!  He made it very clear how and where to meet. We arrived a little early but he welcomed us right away. Brimming with personality and authentic Florida vibes. He knew where to take us, what to throw, and how to get the fish in the boat. And get them in we did!  We (mostly our kids) brought home plenty of fish for us to all have for dinner that night. Throughout the whole trip, Captain Joe had plenty of jokes and stories to fill up the time. He even sent us home with a recipe and his own special spice blend for cooking the fish that night. And it was DELICIOUS!  Everyone was thoroughly entertained and satisfied at the end of our trip. Our 2 boys said it was the highlight of their week. We come to Sanibel every year, and as long as Captain Joe is still taking charters out on his boat, he just might see us again!

We booked a 3-hour charter to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday, and it ended up being a perfect morning. It was me, my wife, my in-laws, and our two teenagers. Captain Joe was great. He was very friendly and kept all of us laughing the whole time. A fun and stress free trip. will definitely book again.

Book a 4-Hour trip with Joe on a weekend, brought my elderly father and my seven-year-old daughter and wife, Joe was on time, had everything prepared, and was ready for shove off as soon as we arrived. Joe is a conscientious captain, navigated very well to keep the ride as calm as possible even in busy waters. Joe knew a lot of good spots, we did move three times before we found fish, but Joe found fish when no one else around us did. Joe kept us all entertained, even taught the seven-year-old how to cast, which she ended up pulling in the biggest fish. I recommend Joe and we’ll book again.

We have a great time with Captain Joe! He was very helpful, friendly & patient with my 3 year old who just needed to touch everything on the boat and explore. We caught a few fish, saw manatees, turtles, even spotted a dolphin while heading to another spot! My son absolutely loved it and so did we! I will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks so much for a great day on the water!

We had so much fun with Captain Joe on the fishing boat. He was very sweet and patient with our kids, guided them on proper fishing methods, and was encouraging. He took us to his favorite fishing spots and my son caught a fish! My daughter also almost caught one but she lost it before we could pull the reel up. We would definitely do this with Captain Joe again!
