Captain Jack aims to provide an unforgettable experience on every fishing adventure. From a very young age, he has been exploring the waters of Florida, gaining extensive knowledge about Fort Myers fishing through the guidance of his father and grandfather. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, Captain Jack customizes each trip to suit your skill level.
He captains a sleek 23-foot Aqua Star bay boat, designed to handle both rough waters and shallow fishing spots with ease, making it ideal for navigating the waters of Southwest Florida. The boat features a T-top that offers ample shade from the intense Florida sun, along with a fishing tower and a secondary control station. Its wide beam and open deck layout provide plenty of space for guests to move comfortably, battle fish, and unwind.
Equipped with the latest gear including a new trolling motor, a spacious bait well, advanced GPS/SONAR technology, and a Bluetooth sound system, Captain Jack ensures you have everything needed to boost your chances of a great catch. Depending on the season and technique, you can expect to fish for various species such as Mackerel, Snapper, Redfish, Snook, and Sheepshead. After the trip, Captain Jack is happy to clean your catch, so you can enjoy fresh fish at home.
Fishing is just one of the ways to enjoy these beautiful waters! Captain Jack also offers combined trips that blend fishing with eco-tours, shelling excursions, and relaxing sunset cruises. Explore the secluded beaches of North Captiva and Cayo Costa State Park, collecting rare shells that many don’t reach. Delight in watching native wildlife like birds, dolphins, and manatees thriving in their natural surroundings rather than in an aquarium.
“Captain Jack was an absolute blast to fish with! We’re definitely booking another trip. It was a fantastic experience with everyone getting a chance to catch a snook. My granddaughters especially loved it, and we kept one within the slot limit!”
“Although fishing was slow, Captain Jack did everything he could to locate fish for us.”
You can cancel your reservation up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled trip and receive a credit applied to your account. Cancellations made on the day of the trip or failure to show up will result in the full trip cost being charged to your payment method.
Be sure to bring snacks and beverages along with weather-appropriate clothing and sun protection (please note, spray sunscreens are not allowed). Don’t forget your camera to capture the moments. Fishing gear such as rods, reels, tackle, bait, as well as ice and water are provided.
Experience the thrill of shark fishing year-round, though keep in mind that sharks tend to be less active during the colder months. The best chances often depend on strong tidal movements and prime times around sunrise and sunset.
