We had a great time iguana hunting with Logan. He was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us tips for shooting iguanas. He was patient with us while we got comfortable with the air guns. We would definitely go again with Logan! Kona is amazing and great at finding iguanas.

Captain Liam did a great job putting me on fish. His boat was clean and his gear was in great shape. His service was top notch and I’d absolutely go again if I’m in the area.

Trip: Fort Myers Fishing Charters

My son and I did a 6 hour off shore fishing charter with Capt. Mike and had a fantastic time. Mike got in touch with us immediately after we booked. His communication was clear, concise and accurate. He was in touch again the day before our trip to see if we had any questions and asked if we had any particular type of fish that we wanted to fish for. On the day of the trip, we arrived 15 minutes before our scheduled departure. Mike already had the boat in the water and the fishing poles rigged and ready. After a brief safety discussion and orientation to the boat, we took off. Mike took us 40 miles off shore before we started fishing. Using his electronics on the boat and past experience, he expertly moved us around and it didn’t take long before my son and I caught some nice size Grouper. Mike kept the fish we caught on ice until we got back to the dock. There, he quickly filleted our fish and had zip lock bags for us to put them in. One thing I couldn’t help but notice was Mike seemed to be having as much fun as we were. I would highly recommend Mike for your next fishing charter.
