About Your Trip

Join us for a premium backcountry fishing experience through the pristine waters of Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande, and the surrounding mangrove estuaries. This inshore adventure is ideal for all skill levels, with trips designed for up to 4 anglers—covered under our fishing license. Our typical charters run between 4 to 6 hours, allowing plenty of time to explore the flats, channels, and hidden pockets where game fish thrive.

You’ll be fishing from a luxurious 23 ft Hanson bay boat, custom-built for performance and comfort. With a 9.5 ft beam, the boat offers exceptional stability, spacious deck layout, and smooth rides through shallow backcountry waters. This vessel is fully rigged with top-quality gear, live wells, dry storage, and shaded areas to keep you comfortable throughout the trip.

We target some of Florida’s most sought-after inshore species, including Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, and Tarpon (seasonal). Depending on the time of year and conditions, we’ll adapt techniques—ranging from live bait and artificial lures to sight fishing and drifting. Tarpon fishing heats up in the spring and summer, but we fish these waters year-round with great success.

What makes us different? It’s a laid-back, highly personalized experience that focuses on more than just filling a cooler. Whether you’re introducing the kids to their first redfish or chasing your personal best snook, we create a trip that fits your goals. We provide all rods, reels, bait, tackle, licenses (for up to 4 anglers), and we’ll even clean your catch at the end. All you need to bring is your food, drinks, and excitement to be on the water.

Born and raised in the heart of Southwest Florida, I’ve been fishing these waters since I could walk. Growing up surrounded by the beauty and bounty of Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf, becoming a fishing guide wasn’t just a goal—it was a lifelong dream.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to spend my life on the water, sharing the thrill of the catch and the peace of the backcountry with others. Guiding isn’t just a job for me—it’s a true passion. Every trip is an opportunity to connect people with the incredible fishery I’ve been lucky enough to call home my whole life.

Beyond the thrill of fishing, I hold a deep respect for our local waters and marine life. Conservation plays a major role in everything I do—from practicing sustainable fishing methods to educating others on the importance of preserving our coastal ecosystem for future generations.

When you step aboard with me, you’re not just booking a fishing trip—you’re joining a journey rooted in passion, tradition, and respect for the water that shaped who I am today.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
