About Your Trip

Looking for a thrilling battle with a giant sea monster that twists, turns, flips, and whirls on your line? Look no further and join Captain Ken for a half day tracking Tarpon in the waters off Boca Grande pass, known as the Tarpon Capital of the World! These bucket list fish make a glorious fight with spectacular runs. Captain Ken will chase the Silver Kings while you battle from the fighting chair on the bow!

Catching Tarpon is akin the Super Bowl of fishing, since these monsters put up an incredible fight. They are known to jump up to 6 feet in the air near the end of your battle! This trip promises to be nothing short of electrifying.

Your vessel is a 25’ Tidewater powered by a 300hp Yamaha engine. The fighting chair in the bow is well secured, like a throne for battle. While in the inshore pass you will be bottom fishing for these monsters of the deep, but be prepared, once you have them at the surface the Silver Kings will fight even harder!

Captain Ken will provide everything you need on this all-inclusive adventure including live bait, tackle, licenses, bottled water, suntan lotion, and a cooler with ice. Bring your own snacks and drinks, and get excited for this frantic frenzy!

About Your Guide

Ken M.

Independent Guide

Captain Ken is a Southwest Florida native, born and raised. The son of a commercial fisherman, Ken has been on the water fishing the gulf and inshore waters all his life. A winning tournament angler, he has also guided several charity fishing events in the area. As a testament to his skill, he landed a Tarpon over 7 feet long and a mere 20lbs from the record last year! When it comes down to hiring a charter captain, you want more than a local expert with the ability to put you in a position to catch your target species. You also want someone who ensures you and your family have a fun and safe experience. These are top priorities for Captain Ken. You'll catch fish, have some laughs and enjoy everything that makes this area the best fishing destination in Florida. Spend a day on the water with a guide that loves to put his anglers on the fish of a lifetime!
