Experience world class fishing in the waters of Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor, and the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you are targeting legendary tarpon or heading offshore for hard fighting Gulf species, this private charter delivers serious action with a local captain who knows these waters inside and out.
Join Captain Hayes for a fully private fishing experience tailored to your skill level and goals. From the legendary tarpon runs of Boca Grande Pass to productive nearshore Gulf waters up to nine miles offshore, this charter offers a range of seasonal opportunities.
