Offshore boat and experience
Captain Mike describes a lifetime of fishing Southwest Florida. The offshore boat is a 25-foot Parker SE with twin Mercury 150 outboards. The operator states that it holds federal fishing permits and can carry up to six guests. Published rate headings cover four guests, so ask about added passengers.
Inshore options
Captain Michael’s trips explore backwaters around Boca Grande, Englewood, Placida, and nearby islands. Snook, redfish, and trout are named targets around places such as Turtle Bay. Tarpon fishing is another specialty to discuss when planning a seasonal visit.
Beyond fishing
Custom outings can include wildlife viewing, sunset cruises, swimming, or a Cabbage Key meal stop. Tell the operator how much of the day you want to spend fishing. Confirm whether restaurant charges or other activity costs are separate.
Booking and departure
Current rates are available by phone. Ask which captain, boat, trip length, and passenger allowance your quote covers. The offshore page directs guests to Eldred’s office to pay for parking before meeting at the docks. Confirm tackle, license coverage, refreshments, and cancellation terms for the selected outing.
Details checked September 29, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
