This trip exceeded our expectations, we caught quite a few different species and James was a great captain. From fishing the mangroves, to fishing docks, and getting a 100+ pound tarpon to the boat all in one day. It was such a great experience we can’t wait to book with him again next year

James was very knowledgeable about the fish we were trying to catch! Really had a great time caught many fish right off the bat. He also cleaned them all so we could est them. Thank you keep up the good work!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter, stop thinking and book with Captain James! Three of us hit the water expecting a good day—but we got an unforgettable one. We reeled in mangrove snapper, battled sharks, and hooked into tarpon! The rods stayed bent, the laughs never stopped, and Captain James knew exactly where to put us on the fish. Professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure everyone has an amazing time. Whether you’re chasing a trophy catch or just making memories with friends and family, Captain James is the one to call. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We met James at the dock and he was all ready to go. We hooked up on some nice snook within minutes of leaving the dock. It was a great day. He is very professional, knowledgeable and did everything he could to make our trip enjoyable. We highly recommend him and look forward to another visit!

Dayron was a fabulous guide. It began with great communication and ended with a bunch of snappers ready for the frying pan. Dayron was accommodating, knowledgable and a lot of un to fish with. I would highly recommend the next time you want to go fishing in the Captiva Island area.

Had a great experience. Unfortunately the Tarpon refused to bite apparently due to a weather change. Captain Randall is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond attempting to get a bite. Saw lots of fish and at least had the opportunity to reeled in a 8 foot Nurse shark. Can’t say enough about Captain Randall’s knowledge and experience. Would definitely recommend and book with him again.
