  Perfect charter experience

  3/4 Day Trip on May 18, 2026 • 4 adults

  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.

  Excellent experience for me and friend from the UK.

  Half Day Trip on May 4, 2026 • 2 adults

  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.

  Great Family Fishing Trip!

  Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on June 12, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

  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.

  Half Day Trip on August 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  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.

  Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on April 2, 2026 • 4 adults

  Went on the afternoon trip and the captain took us out early. We requested fish for eating to start. Tried several spot and caught a variety of fish. Mostly trout. Also caught about a 3’ shark but when it got up next to the boat, it decided it had enough and broke the line and swam away. Captain then took us to sport fish. Those were Refish and other catch and release type fish. Everyone had a great time and caught fish. Defiantly will go with this captain again next time
