What our customers say

We did a inland fishing trip with Drew and had a great time. He brought us to the fish and gave us a great chance to catch the fish we were looking to catch. We had a great experience from when he picked us up at the docks and dropped us off. I would definitely book a charter with him again if we are back in Ft. Myers.
