About Your Guide

Al H.

Independent Guide

With over 50 years of fishing and boating experience, Captain Al has started with one charter boat. It’s a new 25ft. Sea Hunt BR 25 BX bay boat, powered by a 300 Yamaha, designed for the inshore severe and nearshore fishing of Southwest Florida. This boat is versatile, safe, comfortable, and reliable, allowing you to experience a fantastic trip.

Captain Al is a military veteran and a native of Ohio. He grew up fishing and boating and now resides in Cape Coral, FL. He’s USCG approved, a licensed and insured fishing guide for inshore and nearshore species. With over 50 years of experience fishing and boating in freshwater and saltwater, Captain Al has the experience and knowledge to put you on the fish and teach you how to catch them!

Captain Al is family-friendly, welcoming all experience levels and ages. If requested, Captain Al will be happy to photograph and capture your fishing experience for memories you will cherish.

If you’re not interested in catching fish, Captain Al knows the waters around Southwest Florida and will gladly take you on a scenic trip. Visit secluded beaches and sandbars for shelling and sunbathing, and watch dolphins, manatees, eagles, ospreys, shorebirds, and other wildlife. A day on the waters of Southwest Florida is always a good day!

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.
