Founded on a deep love for the outdoors and decades of fishing experience, our charters are designed to bring families, friends, and anglers together in one of Florida’s most exciting fishing destinations: Fort Myers.
Whether you’re chasing trophy tarpon, casting for snook and redfish, or introducing your kids to fishing for the very first time, every trip with us is tailored to make your day unforgettable.
Meet the Captain
About Captain Erik Johnson
My name is Erik Johnson, owner and operator of Sea N Red Charters. I grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania, and moved to Florida in 1994. Fishing has been my passion for as long as I can remember — from freshwater ponds and rivers to the vast saltwater oceans.
I welcome kids, families, and anglers of all skill levels. Every trip is a learning experience, and I take pride in teaching techniques that make catching fish possible for everyone on board. My goal is simple: to share my love of fishing and make sure you leave with stories you’ll remember forever.
