Where do I start. Captain Dillon was quick to reply to my questions leading up the trip and asked great questions to understand skill and expectation of our party. During the trip we tried for Snapper and Red but they weren’t biting with any regularity. We could have stayed and tried longer, but my goal/ask was to get my boys on fish we could take to a local place to eat, so Captain Dillon put us on several schools of Sea Trout. My boys and I had a blast and easily caught our limit. Caught a couple other species, but they are escaping me. He was also great at teaching my boys on the finer points of when to set the hook and it was great to see the boys’ progression from the beginning to end of the trip. Boys had a blast and said the trip was aweome and hoped they could go on another charter with Captain Dillon because they caught fish and because Captain Dillon was so nice. I told them when we come back, we’re definitely going to call on Captain Dillon.

We had plenty of fish, he slowed down for the kids to see the dolphins running with the boat and even made it a point for them to see manatees while we were catching fish.  He was great with the kids and excellent personality.  We will definitely be looking forward to our next trip down here.

Captain Dillon showed my girls and I a great time fishing! Dillon didn’t just take us fishing he took is catching! We were caching fish every couple minutes. Dillon was on it. Every fish my kids caught he was right there to take it off and if the bait fell off he had a shrimp waiting for them. He was super sweet and educational with ny three girls 11,9,and 5. He took us to see Dolphins and string rays too. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Captain Dillon did an absolutely amazing job, from before we even arrived, he was communicative, quick to reply and extremely helpful! Then the morning arrived and from the moment we were on site He was on point, and got us right on the fish, immediately reelin em in! He was so attentive to each of us the entire day, never let up or took a break. Got us on some monster red, we caught some Jacks, more speckled trout than I count and all day just had the most amazing experience!! Would highly recommend him to anyone that would listen, and plenty that arent! 🤣 I really couldn’t say enough about how awesome our experience was, and that was because of the human element, Captain Dillon. Absolute Joy! Fish On!! 🐟 🐠 🎣

Our fishing day was amazing. Gorgeous weather, got to see dolphins, sharks, and pelicans. We caught a ton of fish of various species, including three large trout that we brought home w us (and brought to a restaurant that cooked it for us). Captain Dillon is a master on the water! He was super knowledgeable, helped us get started, and gave us pointers throughout. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for this family of four (including two teenage boys). Anyone looking for a great, fun day in/near Sanibel, don’t pass Saltwater Excursions SWFL up! We’ll definitely be back!
