About Your Trip

Captain Danny offers professionally guided inshore and tarpon fishing trips throughout Southwest Florida. Trips are available in 4, 6, and 8-hour options, with 6- and 10-hour trips available during the April–July tarpon season for anglers looking to experience some of the best tarpon fishing in the world.

Trips can depart from multiple convenient locations, including Punta Gorda, Burnt Store Marina, Pineland Marina, Eldred’s Marina, and the Boca Grande Guide Docks, allowing us to choose the best starting point based on weather, tides, water conditions, and the targeted species.

During tarpon season, we target the legendary Boca Grande tarpon using a variety of proven techniques, including live and natural bait, artificial lures, and sight-fishing techniques when conditions allow. Outside of tarpon trips, anglers can target snook, redfish, trout, snapper, and other inshore species throughout Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Boca Grande, and surrounding waters.

Every trip is customized around the customer’s experience level, goals, tides, weather, and current fishing conditions. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly inshore adventure, a trophy tarpon, or a full day on the water, Captain Danny’s 25+ years of local fishing experience help put you in the right place at the right time.

What sets us apart is the combination of local knowledge, professional equipment, multiple pickup locations, and a trip built around the conditions and what the customer wants to catch. Our goal isn’t simply to take you fishing—it’s to give you an unforgettable Southwest Florida fishing experience.

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.
