Wanted my grandson to experience the thrill of fighting a tarpon at Boca Grande. This charter did not disappoint us. Highly recommended.

Success at last - finally got our trophy tarpon. Over the past few years we’ve tried other tarpon hotspots with no luck - Islamorada and Costa Rica. That all changed today - good combination paid off -good boat + great captain = 100lb bucket list tarpon! Well done guys!

We had bad weather on our trip and had to reschedule and fine new charters to take us out Capt. Yanni got us out on the water with little notice and we had a great time. His partner Capt Roger took us out and we fished in some areas we had not been to before. The boat was super clean and comfortable. Captain Roger was great, wish we had more time to spend them. 5 stars and would definitely book with Boca Granada Florida tarpon fishing charter again!

Great experience with Captain Nick. Landed one Tarpon, hooked into another, and had several bites. Nick knows how to put you on the fish.

Hey Liam why a fake review on my profile? you’re not our customer. I am not the viral captain in the video circulating. Wrong business I’m reporting to Google now

We had a great day with Roger and even though the weather proved challenging we all caught fish. Unfortunately the following day was cancelled due to the weather but a full refund was granted and we look forward to booking again. Highly recommend the experience
