FAQs

FAQs About Saltwater Fishing in Fort Myers

What is saltwater fishing?

Saltwater fishing takes place in ocean waters and targets species like snapper, grouper, kingfish, and tarpon. It can be done from a boat, pier, or shore, but charters offer the best access to productive fishing grounds with all gear included.

Yes – especially with a guide. Our Fort Myers saltwater charters are ideal for beginners and families. Captain Erik provides hands-on guidance for casting, reeling, and handling your catch so you can learn and have fun along the way.

You can hook species like snapper, grouper, cobia, kingfish, Spanish mackerel, shark, and tarpon (depending on the season). Each trip is customized to target the best fish biting at that time of year.

At Sea n Red Fishing Charters, saltwater trip rates start at $550 (4 hours) for 3 people. 6-hour trips are $750, and 8-hour trips are $950. Add a 4th person for $100 or extend for $125/hour — all bait, gear, and licenses included.

Fishing is excellent year-round, but spring through fall offers prime action for snapper and grouper. Cooler months bring steady bites from sheepshead and mackerel. Captain Erik adjusts each trip based on seasonal patterns for maximum success.

Absolutely! Our charters are family-friendly and safe for kids. Captain Erik makes it a fun, educational experience – perfect for first catches and lasting memories on the Gulf. Life jackets and safety gear are always on board.

Yes – charters give you professional gear, expert guidance, and exclusive access to local fishing spots you won’t find alone. With everything included, it’s the most reliable and productive way to fish in Fort Myers.

Yes, but a charter is far more productive. While you can fish from shore or the pier, charters take you to offshore and reef hot spots where bigger and more varied species are waiting to bite.
