Come and explore the rich waters of southwest Florida and the 10,000 Islands National Preserve with true local guides. Our team consists of all Southwest Florida natives who have spent their whole lives fishing. Our team of captains knows all the best fishing spots and promises to take you to the best hunting grounds in search of the exciting and delicious fish that call these waters home.

Hop aboard a spacious 25’ center consoles and enjoy a day on these rich waters. Fitted with a large t-top cover, you’ll have plenty of shade to hide from the sun, while the open deck will provide ample opportunity for sun junkies to get their tan on. There is room for up to 6 on board, but with multiple vessels at our disposal, the captains can happily take up to 18 on multiple boats. Get in touch and arrange a trip to suit your needs!

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, there is space for you on-board. Bring the whole family along to enjoy in a fun-filled day of fishing, with everything you need for a productive day provided. Your captain will even provide ice and coolers, so all you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks aboard and settle in for a thrilling day out.

The stunning scenery will be enough to leave you gobsmacked, with Bottlenose Dolphins swimming around the thousands of islands that give this spot its name. When it comes to fishing, you’re in for a serious treat going up against some of the country’s most prized inshore species. Put your angling skills to the test and head home with a boatload of fish, as you target Groupers, Snappers, Permit, Pompano, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, and many more!

Great trip! We saw some dolphins and Captain Nick was able to get them to surf behind the boat. The fishing was well suited for our family but wish it could have been more intense at times. We were able to go to a beach and cool down for a bit too. Overall it was a good trip and Captain Nick was professional and fun to hang with.

We had Kyle as a guide. He was really nice to work with.....as we had a group of 6 including a 7 and 10 year old. It was a tough bite and windy but we still caught fish. He moved around a lot which was appreciated.
We had fun and would work with him again.

Response from Kodie:

Thank you Jim for coming out with us, our FL winter has been a little colder than normal this year so I apologize. Capt Cooper enjoyed your company on the day and weather definitely made it a tough bite that day. Safe travels back home!
