About Your Trip

Step aboard with Captain Alan in Cape Coral for a custom-tailored inshore experience that hits the sweet spot between comfort and serious fishing. Whether you're bringing the family along for a fun day on the water or chasing your next trophy catch, Captain Alan brings deep local knowledge and top-tier gear to make every trip unforgettable.

You’ll be fishing from a brand-new 26’ Southern Cross center console built in 2023, powered by a single 250 HP Suzuki engine that cruises up to 45 knots. With room for up to six anglers, high sides for added safety, and a wide, open deck layout, this boat is the perfect platform for everything from easy-going family fun to all-out sportfishing action.

Captain Alan’s setup is loaded with Garmin electronics, a Minn Kota trolling motor, and a massive 65-gallon livewell packed with fresh bait. He outfits all trips with high-performance rods and reels from Eupro and Florida Fishing Products, giving you a real edge when it’s time to hook up. Live bait is the go-to, but if you’d rather throw lures, just say the word—he’ll have a handpicked selection ready to go.

Depending on the season and trip length (4–8 hours), you’ll explore grass flats, sandbars, and mangrove shorelines in search of Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, and Trout, with bonus action from Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Permit, and even Sharks when they’re around. Ice-cold waters are always onboard, and Captain Alan will clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip so you can take home the freshest part of the experience.

All gear, bait, and licenses are included—just bring snacks, drinks, and your camera. With Captain Alan at the helm, you're in for a fast, flexible, and fish-filled Florida adventure.

Alan S.

About Your Guide

Alan S.

From early mornings on the water with his dad to earning his Master Captain's license, Captain Alan’s life has been a steady tide pulling him toward a career in fishing. Growing up in Florida, Alan spent his weekdays on the baseball field and his weekends chasing fish—hooked on the thrill and tranquility of the sport from a young age. That passion only deepened over the years. He got his start in the industry working at a local bait and tackle shop, saving up to buy his first boat while still in high school. Before long, he was guiding family and friends, laying the foundation for what would become his dream job.

Now based in Cape Coral, Captain Alan runs inshore and nearshore trips targeting everything from snook and redfish to hard-fighting tarpon and monster goliath grouper. Whether you're angling the mangroves or wrestling a giant offshore, Alan brings patience, knowledge, and infectious enthusiasm to every trip. He’s built his charter business on the belief that a good day of fishing is about more than just the catch—it’s about connection, storytelling, and memories that last a lifetime.

With years of local knowledge and a true dedication to his craft, Captain Alan is ready to show you the best of Florida’s waters. Just bring your sense of adventure—he’ll take care of the rest.
