The purpose of hiring a fishing charter is to have a smooth fishing experience. If a charter fishing service fails to deliver that, there’s no point in spending your money. Below are some tips that will help you choose the absolute best – like the Sanibel Custom Charters.
Some people prefer having the entire boat to themselves while others prefer going fishing on larger, shared boats. Hiring private boats is costlier than going fishing with a large number of people. So, before you choose any fishing charter service, always ask in advance if you’ll have the boat to yourself or you’ll be sharing. Your decision will be based on what you want – a private excursion or a public one.
Another important consideration that you must make beforehand is to enquire about the size of the boat that you will be provided. If you’re planning a fishing trip with your family, you may prefer a smaller boat in contrast to when you’re planning a trip with a large group of friends. The number of people who’ll accompany you will be the deciding factor about the size of the boat that will best suit you. Don’t wait for any surprises and ask relevant questions at the time of booking.
The cost of fishing charters varies with the number of hours you’re planning to stay out in the sea. Sanibel Custom Charters offers three packages, ranging from 2 hours up to a whole day. If you’re planning to sail near to the coast, you can choose for a shorter trip, but if you’re up for going in further, a 4-hour long inshore excursion will suit you more. So, before you settle on any package, make sure the package you’re choosing meets your requirements.
Another important tip that you must follow is to discuss the type of fish that you wish to catch on your fishing excursion. Different fish varieties inhabit different parts of the sea. If you communicate your wishes and plans beforehand, the professional that is accompanying you will take the route where you can find the fish of your choice. Going on a fishing excursion and not finding the fish you like can be disappointing. Also, not being able to take your catch home can be heart-breaking. But when you’re vocal about your fish choices, you save yourself from this sort of disappointment.
Make it a point to ask about the facilities your boat will be equipped with. You should know beforehand if the boat you’ll get is equipped with a bathroom and a resting area or not. It’s even more important when you’re going on longer excursions.
At Always Fun Charters, LLC, we offer Sanibel Custom Charters, with different boat sizes that can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people. Each of our boats has a bathroom and living and resting areas for the people on board, so as to provide the best, most comfortable, and memorable fishing experience that will have you coming back to us every time you want to go fishing in comfort and luxury!
Our Sanibel Custom Charters meets all the checkboxes of the features that account for the best fishing experience. If you want an experience of a lifetime, you know where you got to go!

Captain Neil and Peter were fantastic! We have a family of 5 with 3 kids 10 and under. Everyone caught fish and had a wonderful time. The first 2 fish caught were little sharks caught by the kids! We saw dolphins and a sea turtle. We ended the trip by catching a black tip shark! Such a great experience. Peter fileted put fish and we took it straight to a dock side restaurant and had it cooked for us.

Many thanks to Captain Neil and First mate Jacob for making our 1st ocean fishing trip such a success. To start with his boat is amazing! There was plenty of room for all 5 of us to spread out. Captain Neil did a great job finding the fish and Jacob worked his tail off showing us how to catch them. They make a great team. We caught enough Spanish mackerel to feed a small village. They really wanted us to have an enjoyable trip and we did. I was really impressed that Jacob helped take care of our daughter who wasn't feeling the best. I just can't say enough wonderful things about this charter. We LOVED it!

We had a great time and caught a bunch of fish inshore. Peter was there to help us the whole time and a great fisherman/advice. I would like to go offshore and I will try and use AFC next time. It was too windy to go offshore our fishing day. The boat is clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend and I've done charters like this in many states.

Exceptionally good time and well worth the price. We caught so many fish, we didn't really have time to take trophy photos except the ones at the dock. Fast and furious bites from all kinds of snapper, porgy and others, we were worn out when it was time to go back to shore. Captain Neil was fun and knew when it was time to head back when my father was looking dehydrated. Brandon was on top of everything from bait to answering questions and telling jokes. He even gave my dad his gatorade when he got dehydrated. They provided us with Sea Bands so we didn't get sea sick, which was awesome. We felt well cared for, safe and like they really wanted to see us catch a boatload of fish. We're still working on eating it all over a month later

Great environment and great experience. The Always Fun crew is knowledgeable and extremely experienced in their field. After a couple hours on the water, we caught plenty of food for 5 and had it cooked up at the local restaurant. First mate Nick was a lot of fun to have help us with catching fish and preparing them for dinner.
Logen Dickey
Amazing experience, read the one star review and that is very false. The captain is not abusive whatsoever to the mate and would never over charge. Captain Neal and one of his first mates Peter gave us a great experience. Super nice and genuine people hard to find these days, highly would recommend this trip as me and 5 of my friends (including my fiancé) all had a blast. The fish were not biting much for any of the boats and they still gave us an experience worth much more than the price. Thanks!

Neil Sloan
Captain Neil was great and we kept Jacob busy the whole time! Southern kings were biting and we also boated a 4' hammerhead! I couldn't have asked for a better day on the water! Then Jacob cleaned the fish for us while I got to feed the tarpon and play with the pelicans! Highly recommended, and I will be coming back for the crew was great!
Thomas Burkett
We took two kids with us (3 and 6), both had an amazing time and caught lots of fish. The 6 yr old was lucky enough to catch a shark. One of the best experiences!!! Highly recommended!!
