The Boat
I run two different boats so we’re always fishing from the right platform for the conditions and the type of trip you book here in the Fort Myers and Cape Coral area.
39’ Invincible – Offshore Charters
When we’re heading offshore, we fish from my 39’ Invincible—and this boat is an absolute weapon in the Gulf. At 39 feet with an 11-foot beam, there’s tons of room for up to six anglers to fish comfortably without feeling crowded. She’s powered by triple 350hp Yamaha engines, so we can cruise fast and efficiently, even on longer runs, and still have a smooth ride home.
One big advantage is that this boat carries federal for-hire permits, which allows us to fish beyond 9 miles offshore—something most charters in this area can’t do. That opens up access to better structure, less pressure, and more productive water.
The boat is loaded with top-of-the-line Garmin electronics to dial in fish, plus radar, a razor light bar, and a night vision camera for added safety—especially on early mornings or nighttime runs. There’s also a flushable toilet and sink onboard for comfort. With 550 gallons of fuel plus a 200-gallon fuel bladder, range is never an issue on extended trips.
Safety is always a priority. The boat is equipped with Marine Mat decking for solid footing, a 36-volt Rhodan trolling motor to hold us on spot in any depth, and serious offshore safety gear including a life raft, EPIRB, satellite phone, two VHF radios, and a Garmin inReach.
23’ Key West – Inshore, Tarpon & Shark Charters
For inshore fishing, tarpon trips, and shark charters, we run my 23’ Key West. This boat is perfect for the back bays, passes, beaches, and nearshore waters around Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Sanibel, and Captiva. It drafts shallow enough to get into skinny water where the fish live, but still handles chop and boat traffic comfortably.
Whether we’re chasing tarpon along the beaches, working mangrove shorelines, or hooking into big sharks, this boat keeps us mobile, comfortable, and right where we need to be.
No matter which boat we’re on, the goal is simple—fish the right water, safely and comfortably, and give you the best shot at an unforgettable day on the water.
