A fishing charter is a guided fishing experience where customers hire a boat and a captain to take them to prime fishing locations. It offers professional guidance and often includes all necessary equipment. Recreational fishing, on the other hand, involves fishing independently without a guide.

Customers don't need fishing licenses on a fishing charter as the charter operator typically holds the necessary permits. 

Our charters are exclusive and private to you and your guests. The boat, Captain, and Mate are all yours, for up to 6 passengers! Private Island tours accommodate up to 12 guests. (2 boats provided) You must call and book a Private Island Tour via phone with Captain Greg Dunley. 941-468-9837

No refund given to trips cancelled less than 4 days prior to booked trip. Captain reserves all right to cancel any trip due to weather. Full refunds are given for weather cancelations preventing the boat from leaving the dock. Once the boat has left the inlet, the trip will be charged as a 4 hour trip minimum. 

Trip insurance is offered at 10% of the trip at checkout. Trip insurance allows you to cancel up to 48 hours before your charter time.
