This pier also has many places at it's entrance for the person who needs food before they go on the short walk on the pier. Ft. Myers beach is visible from the pier and there were thousands of people soaking in the sun that adds its own color and fun. Parking can be a bit of a hassle. We got lucky and one person was leaving and signaled us they were leaving. That was a very nice gesture. My only complaint was they did not give us their paid parking ticket to enhance my free visit. :)

I spent most of the trip sea sick, as there were 4-6 ft swells that day. My daughter was right…read morebeside me doing the same. We were 20 miles out and once I lost sight of land it was over. Grown men were also sick, so I didn't feel like such a wimp. The two in our group who weren't sick caught plenty of fish. The following day I went backwater fishing with a guide instead, and caught some fish. If you're looking for something affordable this is a great route. But definitely take dremamine!!!

It was a beautiful day for a very slow cruise in the Gulf, and that's what we got. Never got on…read moreany fish, most people on the boat were skunked, the couple of fish that were caught were small. The cruise was from 9:30am to 4pm, with 2 hours traveling out and 2.5 hours traveling back for 2 hours of fishing. That's if we stayed in one spot. We hit multiple no-fish-found locations that had us cruising around some more. Nobody talked to us while we were fishing, nobody gave us any advice, nobody cared at all that everyone but two of us were skunked for the day. In fairness, if we talked to the mate, he was nice, but only if we talked to him. We'd be fishing, the engine would randomly start, and we'd take off. Presumably to the next spot. The last time we just headed in. Nobody said anything to the people fishing. Nobody said that they were sorry for no fish, thank you for coming out to fish with us today, or anything at all. Nothing. Zero. Zippo. They apparently didn't pack any give-a-darn on the boat that day. As a life-long fisherman and user of charter captains for decades, I've never had an experience like this. They Really. Did. Not. Care. Even more disappointing was arriving back at the docs at the end of the day and see other boats tossing huge carcasses to the pelicans. A bad fishing day is a bad fishing day, but it sure looked like there were fish to be caught, and at least our boat was never able to put us on them. They lost some repeat customers.

One of the classiest and funnest excursions I've done on any vacation…read more We were in town from Fort Worth Texas for a week. I had been looking for a 1/2 day fishing charter for the last two weeks. No luck until I talked to Christine at Paradise last night. We happened to get lucky and they weren't booked up today. She was very friendly and helpful on the phone. Gave us directions and what we would need for our charter at 8am. I have to add they beat everyone else's 1/2 day charter rates. We got there ( my wife and three kids ) and were met by Captain Ryan. He had our boat all prepped and ready to head out right at 8am. Ryan was extremely polite and friendly. Hard to do with three teenagers that we thought about throwing over several times. LOL Captain Ryan must have changed fishing spots at least a dozen times trying his hardest to get us on fish. We all caught several. We only walked away with three keepers ( all good size Mackerel ) but caught a lot more than that. We caught a squirrel fish, lizard fish, blow fish, catfish just to name a few. One of our daughters caught a big fish and it gave her a run for her money. It was a juvenile and even though it was big we had to throw it back. Captain Ryan was very knowledgeable about his fishing. This was an outstanding trip and I will come back here every time we are back in Fort Myers. Our youngest ( 11 years old ) said ....."I think today was the best day I've had as a child". That was worth a million bucks and says a lot about this company. Well done Paradise. We are customers for life!

Best day in a while! Contacted this charter the day before we decided we wanted to go out fishing…read more A last minute business trip/relative visit and impromptu day off. Fishing sounded like a great way to spend it. Contacted charter via phone ( although you could book online) because I wanted to know about access to boat/ what was needed. Christine called me back a few hours later had all of he information. She was polite and accommodating. I confirmed at 7:30pm for next day afternoon slot. That's customer service! Headed to Snook Bight marina and had a fantastic margarita made by Sandy. Met up with captain Ryan at 1. Boarded the 24 ft fishing boat with my hubby, a cooler, sandwiches, maybe some beer and 2 senior citizens ( parents). Had a great 4 Hour trip. Captain Ryan was professional, patient and knew everything about the area wildlife and fish. We got to fish at a few spots. We caught catfish, trout, whiting, baby hammerheads. He somehow arranged for us to see dolphins too! It might seem pricey($400), but honestly because you are able to go at your own pace, not being elbow to elbow with others and having an experienced captain as your guide made the day priceless. Will go again when we are back in town .

The signs and rates are a little misleading/confusing as there are many signs posted on the grounds…read moreand ones visible from the road. Be prepared that the trip will be 2.5 hours each way so there is total 4 hours of fishing. Chase and Ryan were really good boat mates. Many of the people on board didn't want to unhook their own fish so they were working hard being only 2 mates for the entire boat. The captain was nice enough to show a younger boy the wheelhouse. They allowed us to use the shark poles which is very unlikely on a party boat which was very much enjoyed.

When I see deep sea fishing I don't expect to go out to catch bait fish but this is honestly what they targeted. I would not recommend this trip or the company. When I wrote to them to ask for a refund I was told basically that it's fishing and they never responded after that. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT IF YOUR HAPPY OR NOT!! SAVE YOUR $100 AND FIND A SEAWALL OR DOCK. THE BOAT EVEN CAME BACK 45 MINUTES EARLY!!! BEWARE OF THIS!! I TRULY JUST WANT TO HELP PEOPLE NOT GET SCAMMED!!!
