About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Gil for a fun-filled, family-friendly fishing adventure through the pristine inshore waters of Indian Shores, Florida! Whether you're looking to reel in a few fish or just want to soak up the Florida sun with your favorite tunes, Captain Gil’s inshore bay boat trips are the perfect way to kick back and explore the area’s stunning natural beauty.

These trips are ideal for families and larger groups—up to 6 passengers—looking for a relaxed and flexible day on the water. Captain Gillean brings years of local experience to the table, meaning he knows exactly where to go to find the fish and the peaceful, scenic spots that show off Florida’s vibrant coastal ecosystem. From lush mangroves to winding backwaters, this is your chance to experience a side of Florida that most people never see.

Fishing in this area is always exciting thanks to a diverse mix of species. Depending on the season, you’ll have the chance to target Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Gag Grouper. Using techniques like light tackle spinning, popping, jigging, and drifting, you’ll be outfitted with all the gear you need to get the job done—whether you're an experienced angler or just learning the ropes.

You’ll be fishing from a 17' Carolina Skiff—simple, sturdy, and equipped for comfort. With a T-top for shade, a cooler for your drinks and snacks, and a built-in sound system so you can cruise the flats with some background music, this boat is all about easygoing good times on the water. Rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait are all provided, and your fishing license is covered, so all you need to bring is your favorite sunblock (non-spray), a hat, sunglasses, and your go-to beverages (just skip the glass and hard liquor).

Traveling with kids? No problem—this trip is perfectly suited for young anglers! Just double-check with the captain about child-sized life vests before your trip, and don’t forget to bring some snacks to keep everyone happy and energized.

Whether you’re here to fish hard or just want a laid-back cruise through one of Florida’s most beautiful inshore areas, Captain Gil’s got you covered. Book your trip today and get ready to reel in some memories on the waters of Indian Shores!

With my charters, I strive to not only catch big fish and lots of them but to also show the beautiful and rich nature my hometown has to offer. I want to make a unique and nature-filled experience for my clients to remember and give them the Florida experience that I’ve had since I was a kid.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

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, 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.
