Sunset Canal Cruise & Bass Fishing in Cape Coral

Unwind on a 1.5-hour sunset cruise through Cape Coral’s most scenic freshwater canals, lined with lush nature and beautiful homes. As the sun sets, a few guests can cast for largemouth bass using artificial lures, with opportunities to also hook peacock bass, tilapia, and more.

This trip departs at 5:30 PM aboard a 22’ Tide Water Bay Boat powered by a 150HP engine, accommodating up to 6 people. All rods, reels, and tackle are included, and the guide welcomes all skill levels from beginners to advanced anglers.

Bring your favorite drinks (no glass) and play your own Bluetooth music as you relax or fish the peaceful waters of Cape Coral’s rivers and lakes. The trip is kid-friendly and the departure location can be flexible to suit your needs.

Myself and the kids went out with Roland on 12/14/24 and had a great time. He is very knowledgable and did a great job letting the kids shoot and grab the Iguanas. The kids,(16 & 18) had a great time, which was the main goal. He even got the girls involved. I would highly recommend and will be using him again!!!

Capt. Rolland was an excellent guide he provided great equipment and education on the iguanas that we hunted. The action was consistent throughout the hunt. Capt. Rolland has an eagle eye to spot the iguana’s which keeps the hunt moving along with good numbers of iguanas.

Great time stalking the canal system of Cape Coral with Roland! Very professional guide, informative and knowledgeable. His equipment was top notch from the boat to the high performance Gamo air gun systems. The optics were 100% on! During our two hour trip we located and collected 8 iguana! My first trip hunting iguana but not my last!

Captain Roland was fantastic! He put us into several different areas, targeting several species and delivered our goal of taking home fresh catch for dinner. We caught snook, snapper, convict fish and sea trout. An altogether great experience for the four of us. We highly recommend and will be back next season for another outing!!

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey Misty, I am so sorry to hear that this trip was a let down for the group. There was some miscommunication about the fishing licenses on our end, and we have worked to make this clearer in the future. We are committed to finding you another trip that is better suited for the group's needs, so please give us a call so we can get you all back out on the water.
