We brought our two boys (9 & 13) on this fishing trip and they had a blast. Captain Fabian was very patient and knowledgeable. The fish were biting good! We took what we kept and fried it up the same night. The kids are still talking about it. Memories made. Highly recommend!
Captain Fabian provided us with an excellent day on the water. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area, and put us on a number of great bites. Our day included a good balance of technical sport fishing and easier trout fishing. Everyone in our group of 4 caught plenty of fish. Captain Fabian filled our coolers and then some with great looking fish; we will be eating well for the next few days. Overall, we had a great experience and will be returning for another trip in the future! I would strongly recommend this charter, whether you're looking to sport fish or fill your cooler, or even a little bit of both.
I wanted to give a friend from the UK a unique SW Florida experience while he was visiting. I chartered a half day trip with Captain Fabian for some inshore fishing. Everything about the trip was excellent. The weather cooperated. Fish were caught, some for the table and others catch and release. Captain Fabian is an excellent guide and boat operator. Knowledgeable of the area, professional and just really good company to have on a boat. He runs a spotlessly clean boat that is well maintained and well organized to maximized guest comfort and ease of movement while fishing. I heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a charter and will likely use him again for future trips in this area.
What a fun experience! We caught several types of fish including delicious red snapper, snook, catfish (ha!), black-tip sharks, ladyfish, redfish etc and tried for some Tarpon. Captain Fabian set us up to succeed and kept the boat hopping, if the action slowed too much, we moved on. It was a great day on the water, making some fantastic memories with our boys! We would absolutely recommend Captain Fabian!
I am a father of three young children (10, 8 and 8) and wanted to give them the experience of a charter fishing trip where they could catch a variety of fish but also, just catch fish! The captain was great and very accommodating to my littles. We caught loads of Mangrove Snapper and a few other species of fish. His boat was very clean and equipment well maintained, both I appreciated. We shared good conversation and learned about the area as we fished. I would recommend Gulf Coast Charter Service and my family hopes to charter with them again in the future.
Captain Fabian did a great job coaching our two young grandsons and finding fish. Although a hot summer day can be hit or miss, he quickly moved on if an area slowed down, and we ended up getting some real good snook and redfish action. He also stretched our time a little in order to check out one more spot before heading back. Would highly recommend.
