About Your Trip

If you're after a fun-filled day on the water with unforgettable memories, Captain Dayron is ready to show you the best of Southwest Florida's fishing scene. Operating out of scenic hotspots like Boca Grande, Fort Myers, Matlacha, Sanibel, Cape Coral, and Captiva, he’ll meet you at a convenient pickup point and get you on the fish in no time. With pristine mangrove shorelines, shallow flats, and expansive sandy beaches just a short ride from the dock, you'll be immersed in a world-class fishery from the moment you leave shore.

Your ride for the day is a 2018 23’ Skeeter bay boat powered by a 250 HP Yamaha outboard. Designed for both comfort and performance, the boat's aggressive V hull slices through chop for a smooth ride, while the trolling motor and power pole let you approach fish with stealth and precision. It’s fully equipped with GPS, a fishfinder, and a live bait well, plus there’s a cooler loaded with ice and water—just bring your favorite snacks and drinks.

No matter your skill level or age, Captain Dayron is dedicated to providing a personalized and exciting experience. The 4-hour trip is perfect for those wanting a taste of the action without committing the whole day. You’ll stay inshore, targeting hard-hitting favorites like Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Seatrout. It’s an ideal choice for families with young kids, beginners, or anyone looking to enjoy a productive morning or afternoon on the water.

If you’re looking for more time and more variety, the 6-hour trip offers the flexibility to fish both inshore and nearshore. Depending on the season and what you're hoping to catch, you could be reeling in everything from Redfish and Sheepshead in the bays to Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and Cobia near the reefs and wrecks. This trip strikes a perfect balance between time, action, and relaxation, and it’s fully customized to your preferences.

For those who want to go all out, the 8-hour trip is a full-day fishing adventure that gives you access to a wider range of fishing spots and species. With the extra time, you can cover more ground, fish longer, and target a greater variety of fish. From the flats to the reefs, your lines will stay tight with species like Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, Red and Gag Grouper, Tripletail, and more. Just bring lunch and sunscreen—you’re in for a day packed with rod-bending action.

Captain Dayron provides top-of-the-line Shimano rods and reels, live bait prepped before the trip, a full array of lures, and all necessary licenses. He’ll also clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day. Whether you're working the flats with light tackle, jigging structure, or bottom fishing offshore spots with heavy gear, Captain Dayron has the expertise and equipment to make your trip a success.

From start to finish, Captain Dayron is committed to delivering a top-tier experience that combines local knowledge, professional gear, and a passion for fishing. Whether you're looking for a quick morning trip or an all-day offshore adventure, you’ll find yourself immersed in some of Florida’s finest fishing with a guide who knows how to make every cast count.

About Your Guide

Dayron P.

From sun-soaked childhoods on the shores of Cuba to guiding adventurers through the abundant waters of the Gulf, Captain Dayron’s love for the ocean has always run deep. Growing up with beach vacations that were more like full-on aquatic expeditions—diving, snorkeling, and fishing from sunrise to sunset—he developed an early connection with marine life that still fuels his days on the water.

Now, with over two decades of ocean experience behind him, Captain Dayron has transformed his lifelong passion into a full-time adventure as a fishing guide. “There’s no better office than one behind the helm,” he says—and anyone who steps aboard quickly feels that same energy. Whether you're looking to explore the calm inshore bays or head out to the nearshore reefs, Dayron’s got the local knowledge to put you on the fish.

Depending on the season, you might be chasing Redfish and Sheepshead in the shallows, or heading out to the wrecks to battle Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and even Cobia. No matter the target, Dayron is dedicated to creating unforgettable moments on the water—where the lines are tight, the stories are flowing, and the memories are built to last.

Hop aboard and see why Captain Dayron believes there’s truly nothing better than a day spent fishing SWFL!
