About Your Guide

Captain Al

Independent Guide

With over 50 years of fishing and boating experience, Captain Al has started with one charter boat. It’s a new 25ft. Sea Hunt BR 25 BX bay boat, powered by a 300 Yamaha, designed for the inshore severe and nearshore fishing of Southwest Florida. This boat is versatile, safe, comfortable, and reliable, allowing you to experience a fantastic trip.

Captain Al is a military veteran and a native of Ohio. He grew up fishing and boating and now resides in Cape Coral, FL. He’s USCG approved, a licensed and insured fishing guide for inshore and nearshore species. With over 50 years of experience fishing and boating in freshwater and saltwater, Captain Al has the experience and knowledge to put you on the fish and teach you how to catch them!

Captain Al is family-friendly, welcoming all experience levels and ages. If requested, Captain Al will be happy to photograph and capture your fishing experience for memories you will cherish.

If you’re not interested in catching fish, Captain Al knows the waters around Southwest Florida and will gladly take you on a scenic trip. Visit secluded beaches and sandbars for shelling and sunbathing, and watch dolphins, manatees, eagles, ospreys, shorebirds, and other wildlife. A day on the waters of Southwest Florida is always a good day!

First Time Booking with Us?

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
