About Your Trip

On this trip, you'll head nearshore with Captain Randy,

Your trip will start early in the morning. You'll head out on board Captain Randy's 28' Parker pilothouse, which features all the gear and amenities you need for an epic trip! After you reach your destination, you'll drop lines down aiming to attract some big bites. The bait will vary depending on what the fish are feeding on that day.
You may encounter species such as Vermillion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack, all of which can provide an exciting fight and make for a memorable trip.

In between catches, take the time to enjoy the stunning scenery and the wildlife that surrounds you, including dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds. A charter fishing trip here in Bokeelia, FL, is an unforgettable experience!

About Your Guide

Independent Guide 5 years of exp.

In short I have been blessed with some tremendous friends and mentors in my life so far. My years in the US Marines created a foundation for others to build on. To sum up my years in service and traveling around the world, I would simply say "There is no place on earth better than the USA". Owning and operating a Property Maintenance business for the last 16 years locally, I have developed many relationships through honest and reliable service and whenever possible sharing the beauty of local fishery. Customers have become friends, many of which I have come to respect and hope to continue to share this new adventure with.

Trip: Red Grouper Special

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 2,000+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting 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, bait, 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.
