It's hot and it's that time of year were we have to dodge a few storms but the bites still great and there are plenty of fish to be caught. Getting close to the fall fishing bite and the reds should be schooling up soon

Captain Chris was amazing! He provided great communication before our iguana hunting trip and during. Captain Chris was great with his instructions for our 10-year old and 8-year old. He was also very considerate and had a great approach to dealing with kids. We saw quite a few iguanas, shot quite a few, and recovered quite a bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend Captain Chris! Very knowledgeable and experienced!

If anyone on this website is looking for a charter offshore in Sarasota, use Captain Mike! He is extremely professional, knows what he's doing and got us on the fish. Traveled out 50+ miles into the Gulf of America for a 3/4 day charter with my friends from Long Island and we started pulling grouper over the gunwales within minutes of dropping lines. No red snapper but had at least 20 grouper and a few nice mango snappers. Oh and a Goliath Grouper that found his way back in the rocks and broke off! That one hurt! If we got him up, I'd have been in the water for a pic. We had a killer time with fish, belly laughs and phenomenal weather. One of the best captains I have ever chartered by far! Seriously, this is your guy! While he still has his accent from Southie, he's a Floridian for sure! Had a great time with tight lines and fair winds!

We had such a wonderful experience with Captain Charlie ! Amazing communication from day one, which is something you really don’t find anymore. This was my first time out fishing like this, and he immediately made me feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease. We left with wonderful memories and so much appreciation for the day. Captain Charlie is genuine, personable, and an absolute pleasure to be around. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! We highly recommend Charlie and would absolutely book with him again! 🎣❤️

Absolutely a blast. Great group, great coordination, and a genuinely fun evening from start to finish. It took some getting used to at first, since you basically have to identify the animals by color alone, but once you get the hang of it, it clicks fast and makes the whole thing even more interesting. Everything was well organized and the communication was spot on. I would do this again anytime. Highly recommended!

I would give more stars if I could. Logan was a great guide and very knowledgeable about hunting SWFL. Kona was a great dog and one of the best parts of the trip was watching her retrieve the iguanas. When we do another iguana hunting trip we will definitely choose Logan as our guide!
