Erik provides a catered experience to ensure you enjoy your time on the water, he’s very knowledgeable, professional and personable. We had our family out, young and old- all had a great experience. When you go with him you’re helping him provide for his young family! Will be coming back.

We had an awesome fishing adventure!! Captain Erik is great and ensures that we were treated to the best fishing possible. We caught Goliath Grouper and Tarpon as well as all the bait fish (which was almost as much fun)! Thanks Erik!! He treated us like family! Don’t charter with anyone else!

Captain Erik Johnson is one of the kindest and most gracious captains I’ve ever met — patient, tolerant, and genuinely respectful of everyone on board. His calm presence and good-natured spirit made the entire trip feel welcoming and enjoyable. What truly stands out about Captain Erik is his deep appreciation for the natural world. He doesn’t just guide you across the water — he shares the beauty, rhythm, and life of the environment around you. You can feel how much he cares about the sea, the wildlife, and the places he works in. On top of that, he absolutely knows where the fish are. His knowledge of the area is exceptional, and he leads with integrity, skill, and confidence. We felt completely safe the entire time — he is a truly seaworthy captain who takes his responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for a charter experience that is meaningful, fun, and full of fish  — and full of heart— Captain Erik with SeaNRed Charters is the one to book. Highly recommended.

Our family went out on two 4-hour trips, and both were amazing — we caught a ton of fish thanks to Eric’s expertise and guidance. He took us to several great spots, and we ended up catching a wide variety, including snook, ladyfish, sea trout, and redfish. Eric was patient, knowledgeable, and so accommodating, especially with our kids. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had fun and left with a big smile (and plenty of fish!). We truly appreciate the extra time and care he took to make the trip special. Highly recommend Sea n Red Fishing Charters — we’ll definitely be booking again next time we visit Cape Coral & Ft Myers!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Captain Eric!!! I fish with him twice now, first time chasing peacocks by land and the second time a dream of mine to fish Okeechobee Lake since I’ve been a teenager with short notice he made it happen. as you look at the pics, we were very successful.. Eric is very knowledgeable if there’s a species you’re looking to catch in Southwest Florida you got the best shot with Captain Eric To make it come true… I got a few more on my bucket list, so we’ll be fishing together again soon🎣🎣🎣🎣
