Beautiful SWFL Gulf Coast Experiences
Fishing Charters
We do 4hr, 6hr, and 8hr, fishing trips, for 4 people. The prices are $400 for a 4hr, $600 for 6hr, and $800 for an 8hr trip. The price includes your license, bait, water, ice, use of rod, reel, and tackle as well as fish cleaning. I can take an additional 2 non-fishing passengers for an extra cost of $50. The 4hr trips start at your choice of 8am, or 2pm. The 6hr and 8hr trips start at 8am. We also offer artificial lure only and fly fishing trips by request (please call for details). We fish from in and around Estero Bay up to Sanibel Island, and Cayo Costa Island. We mainly fish for inshore species such as Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Sea Trout, Mangrove Snapper, and Sheepshead. Fishing is done around Mangrove shorelines, docks, bridges and other structure where these fish hide.
Eco Tours
Eco Tours take you through the beautiful, scenic, Estero Bay, area which includes Lovers Key State Park, Bonita Beach, Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island. We frequently see Dolphins, Manatees, a large variety of shore birds, occasional American Alligators, and a variety of fish. You can choose 3hr, or 4hr Eco Tours for up to 6 people. 3hr Tours are $275 and 4hr Tours are $375. These are NOT a fishing trip but can be combined with a fishing trip to ensure fun for the whole family. Bring your binoculars, cameras, snorkel gear, beach towels and shelling tools. If you choose to get off the boat and hop onto the beaches, you will have to wade a short distance to the shore.
Sunset Cruise
Sunset Cruises are 3hr cruises for up to 6 people, that will take you around Estero Bay, Lovers Key, Bonita Beach, and Fort Myers Beach to enjoy an evening on the water with the beautiful SWFL sunsets. These are perfect for taking in the sights as well as special occasion getaways for couples, small wedding parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or other small groups looking for an enjoyable evening on the water. These cruises are $275 and will start at an agreed upon time in advance to ensure you get the perfect evening.
