I just spent an afternoon with Captain Rick on his beautiful boat, Fair Winds! The marina was…read moresuper convenient and we loved seeing a crane and a flock of brown pelicans. The little shop sells Dipndots, which was a huge hit with out kids. The more adventurous kids loved the seats on the back of the boat. The views of Sanibel lighthouse were post ard worthy. This was a great way to spend an afternoon on spring break.

Let me just tell you guys, this guy was awesome! My friends and I are experienced fisherman and…read morethis guy's knowledge blew me out of the water! My friend is from England and wanted to charter a guide for his 60th birthday. We were so happy we chose Captain Craig! We have been fishing Captiva and Pine Island since the 80s and this guy put us on fish at every spot. He has a super fast flats boat so he has the ability to hit many areas in a short amount of time. We couldn't be more happy with our choice. Super chill and an inspiring individual! Loved spending time with you Craig! We will be back!

Fantastic 8 hour trip with calm waters and overcast. (July 12th 2026)…read more Hit our limit on grouper, caught a large ARS, and a King Mack. Also filled the boat with a variety of smaller snapper (lane, mangrove). Captain Kaelin & his deck hand were very professional and knowledgeable of the area waters. They got us on the spot and knew when it was time to move to the next. They kept us pulling in fish all day. Their boat was extremely clean and had plenty of seats/bean bags for a group of 6 to ride in comfort all day. The boat was also quite fast, so less time riding and more time actually fishing. Cost of trips change often, so id reach out to the charter for pricing, but i will say it was more affordable compared to some of the other charters in the area and on par for what i felt comfortable spending.

What a disappointment! After driving over an hour for a special occasion for a child and making…read morereservations the day before, the owner decided not to run a tour because "he didn't have enough people to take". This owner acted in an inappropriate and unprofessional manner! You are either in business or you aren't...apparently this company only runs when they think they can make alot of money. To disappoint a child because you can't make enough money that day seems like a funny way to run a business. This place doesn't even have an office! They have their vehicle parked in a vacant lot and that is where they run their business from. I would not recommend anyone get involved with this operation.

This is the worst company in the business. We have sailed and chartered everywhere. The boat was…read morebeat up, dirty and the smell from the head (urine) was overwhelming. We were scheduled for a 7 day overnight trip. Arrived late as scheduled and there was no potable water. Nearest store was 15 miles away. Decided to stay in motel that night. The owner operator is a former CEO from Chicago originally from an eastern block country. Rude and abrasive. Shyster best describes him. We cancelled. Put the matter in dispute and he objected. We are out $4100 and this guy walks. Do not do business with this company. Unbelievably negative experience. Go down the road to St. Pete or Charlotte Harbor Sailing LLC. Phil ended up being our instructor for sailing classes at Charlotte Harbor. This company is the worst sailing experience. Do no charter with them!

The reservation, pick up and drop off all went off without a hitch, the sailing cat we had for the week was well maintained and just as expected.

I also hear they have a new cat or two about to be added to the fleet, which we would be excited to check out next time!

Before departing Randall covered all of the features of the boat as well as the Safety aspects.

Captain Mac was very professional and obviously loves what he does. He baited the hook each time and even took the fish off for me so I didn't have to touch anything.
