Kevin was constantly helping each member of the group, whether it was casting, baiting or giving helpful hints.

  Fantastic family day fishing! - Kevin was exceptionally great. I was honestly worried we’d be going on a “tourist” charter. But he did such an amazing job explaining where we were going, why, and how... read more we’d be catching the fish. He called us all by name immediately. This added such a personal touch. Frankly, he felt like our friend within 5 minutes of getting on the boat. My boys and my wife (of course) caught so many fish and had so much fun. My older son and I caught a nurse shark and fought it for awhile, until we all got wore out and fortunately the line broke. I’d recommend Kevin to anyone coming to this area looking for a fishing charter. It sure beat Disney World!

  Tarpon fishing ft myers fl. - One of the best damn fishing guides I have ever had! Kevin took time to explain and show us how to hook and get tarpon next to the boat. Great... read more equipment! Great guy had a bunch of fun and not just because we caught the hell out of tarpon! If you want to catch tarpon this is the guy!!!!!!!!

We also caught several other types on our 10 hr tarpon trip. Kevin does a great job of teaching you technique as well as explaining the tide change and how the fish move throughout the day. We’ll be coming back, just a first class experience all around!

  Awesome Fishing Trip - Kevin took out our family of five (17, 14 and 12 year old kids) for a four hour inland fishing excursion in April of 2022. He was the absolute best.... read more A total pro, extremely good guy who was great with the kids and the adults. His boat was beautiful and his fishing knowledge was off the charts. He brought us to a few beautiful spots to warm us up where we caught about 15-20 various types of fish. Then he dropped the " do you guys want to try a little shark fishing?" on us and had us reeling in 5 sharks of various sizes including one that was bigger than all of my kids. It was one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences my family has ever had on vacation. He will be the first reservation we make for any future trip to Captiva. I highly recommend him.

  Awesome! - Our family of four had a great time fishing with Kevin today! He had us catching fish in no time, and the morning flew by. Kevin is... read more incredibly knowledgeable, nice, professional and funny! We cannot recommend him highly enough.

  We had an amazing day! Kevin was hilarious and a great guide. We caught more than we expected and Kevin kept us laughing most of the afternoon!

  Fun shelling in Captiva - We just got back from an awesome morning sightseeing/shelling trip with Kevin. We are a family of four with two teenagers. Kevin was easy to communicate with to... read more set up our pick up time and location. He took us out to Costa Cay for some of the best shelling in the area. Our kids loved looking for the best shells and Kevin shared his knowledge on types of shells and even helped us look for them.
We coupled the shelling trip with sightseeing for dolphins and manatees. Though we didn't get lucky to see manatees - we saw several dolphins and even an alligator! Everyone enjoyed our trip out with Captain Kevin. Would highly recommend for a delightful morning in Captiva!

  5-Stars aren't enough! - What a fantastic experience! We booked a day with Captain Kevin at Captiva Island Charters and all the reviews are right, only he's better! Kevin is responsive, easygoing,... read more patient, knowledgeable, competent, etc. etc. etc. He had us on fish (and some pesky birds...) within 20 minutes of leaving the dock. We must have caught 40-50 snook. Not only is he a superb guide, he is an all around nice guy! After just a short time, we felt like we had known him for years. He also guided us to a secluded spot so the ladies could do some shelling. Truthfully, I think they enjoyed the fishing as much as the guys did!

If you have the occasion and want to do a charter in Sanibel/Captiva area, you MUST give Kevin a call. I promise you won't regret it.

  50+ fish in 4 hours! - Awesome fishing charter! My Dad and I went out with Kevin to celebrate his 60th birthday and slayed red fish and snook for nearly 4 straight hours. Several times in... read more that span we were both reeling in fish at the same time. Awesome captain and great company as well. We will definitely fish with him again on our next trip down from NC.

From emails leading up to our trip to the moment we stepped on his boat, I felt not only safe but welcomed. As a single mom, my goal was to provide my 9 year old son a memorable day on the water. It was truly the best day of our trip (and we did other highly rated eco boat trips, parasailing, kayaking, etc). Kevin was patient with both of us, and he had a way of helping us in a very efficient yet relaxed manner. Even though he is a true expert in his field, his humble attitude was refreshing. Thanks to Kevin, we had enough fish to eat for multiple meals! He cleaned it for us and told us about a local restaurant that would prepare it for us. It was a first class experience, and we can’t wait to spend another day on the water with Captain Kevin!

  This trip was nothing short of amazing. Our guide (Kevin) was awesome! He was very helpful and patient. He explained all the different baits being used and... read more all the different fish we caught. And we caught some fish, folks.

They had a blast and Captain Kevin knew right where to take us. The kids were catching one fish after another. Never a dull moment. We even saw sea turtles and reeled in a lemon shark! Kevin was great and patient with my kids, so helpful and encouraging. I highly recommend booking through South Florida Outfitters and we will do so again in the future! Thank you for an amazing day on the water and having a great sense of humor with my son constantly fighting his live bait! Lol.
