My name is Mark Westra and I have been fishing the West Florida coast for over 30 years. As a professional and licensed Captain, it is my passion to deliver the best possible fishing experience to my angler. The beautiful waters surrounding Sanibel, Captiva and Ft Myers area provide ample opportunity for a trophy fish. Depending on the season and weather conditions, we will strategize the day to best fit your expectations. No matter the circumstances, I am confident we will have a great day on the water and make some good memories.
Book your fishing trip early to guarantee a spot! Want to fish during peak season? Plan ahead to ensure prime Tarpon, Snook and Redfish dates are available!
We enjoy year round fishing with excellent chances to catch a Sanibel Slam (Redfish-Seatrout-Snook) or even a Grand Slam (Redfish-Seatrout-Snook-Tarpon).

Caught snapper, snook, jack and almost got a barracuda. We had an amazing morning and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to spend the morning catching some great fish.

We told Capt Mark we wanted to catch fish and he did not disappoint! In the first hour we seat had caught enough mackerel and trout to take home and then some. He took us inland for more sport fish and we even came across manatees. We had a blast with Captain Mark and highly recommend booking with him. He told us all about the fish we were catching and lots if stories. My brother in law went with him the week after us with his 9 year old and they had the same experience!

Have fished with Mark for 10 years so we must be satisfied. Usually have 2 or 3 on the boat which is perfect for the fishing we like to do; near shore and casting around the mangroves for snook, grouper, redfish, seatrout, etc. Caught the Goliath 2 years ago and it was a real thrill to boat a 300lb fish. Mark knew the right places to go and didn't waste time which is important for a half day excursion. He is a patient and friendly guide who we rely on for our annual spring trip. He can take you to Boca Grande for Tarpon if that’s your thing as well. Highly recommend Capt. Mark
