Sunday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours
This is a not-to-be-missed experience! Capt Craig, 7th generation native of this rarest of areas, opened the curtains to let us experience a disappearing life. Dark clouds departed as we stepped inside Capt Craig’s boat, his eye missing nothing and rich history fascinating. Meandering through the group of manatees we headed out toward open water and a lush green islands. Past a rookery of egrets and cormorants we found a roseate spoonbill sifting and feeding. At Calusa Indian mounds of oyster shells we disembarked to explore the layers of centuries, noting pottery and primitive tools. Capt Craig’s family were forced to leave their own island home in 1960’s but we explored the graveyard, exotic plants, snails, and paths. Shelling just before sunset we found so many treasures. As sunset arrived we raced around and through the maze of islands full speed to beat the departing tide. Fascinating, fulfilling and a true adventure. Don’t miss it! See more..

What a day of fishing! Capt Ray knows his stuff and put us on fish. Reds, drum, snook, tarpon and seatrout. Capt Ray kept us in stitches too with his jokes and stories. Not a dull moment to the day. What a place too! if you've never been to the 10,000 Islands you haven't fished. We saw dolphins, manatees, sharks, jumping eagle rays and hundreds species of shore birds. This place is alive and crawling with wildlife! Great boat and excellent tackle. See more..

-Cold December morning
Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours
I was not very hopeful the fish would be hungry on such a crisp morning. Starting off the ride out to the fishing grounds through the mangroves was amazing with sparkly waters, thousands of birds on sand bars, and in the air, it was magical. (and cold) zipping along at 30 mph... brrrr We released most fish only keeping a few fish for the table. On the way back in we stopped at an oyster bar where there were many white pelicans, cormorants, and oyster catchers, Gosh what can I say it was a wonderful day on the water in the 10,000 islands See more..
