Join Captains Brian and Ethan—a seasoned father-son team—for an unforgettable day of fishing in the vibrant waters of Fort Myers Beach and Pine Island Sound. As a third-generation Floridian, Captain Ethan brings local knowledge that runs deep, with skills and stories passed down through the family. Fishing alongside his dad, Captain Brian, the two create an easygoing, welcoming atmosphere on board that makes every trip feel like a day on the water with old friends.

Whether you’re chasing tailing Redfish in the mangroves, stalking Snook along the shoreline, or dropping bait for Sheepshead and Mangrove Snapper near structure, these two know exactly where to go and how to get you hooked up. Depending on the season and conditions, you could also be battling Black Drum, Amberjack, Spotted Seatrout, Tripletail, Tarpon, Cero Mackerel, or even a toothy Shark. Tactics change depending on what’s biting—you might be casting with spinning gear or trying something more specialized—but with this crew, you’re always in good hands.

Your fishing
machine for the day is a 23' Sabalo center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There is a cooler with ice and water onboard.

Now, time to hit the water!
