Below are some links to local service providers that we love
Some of our favorite captains. Book early as they fill up fast!
Inshore and offshore fishing charters. Dave always finds the fish (especially tarpon).
Captain Rick runs great offshore/nearshore fishing and diving too!
Every one of the guides on this site is local and fun to fish with.
The area just North of Boca Grande is littered with fossils including Megalodon Shark teek up to 6'' long. A variety of boats are available to put you onto the "black gold."
These guys have been around forever and know where the teeth are!
Megalodon diving and spearfishing charters.
These guys focus exclusively on tooth diving and have been around for over a decade.
A fun way to see the barrier islands from the air. All of these outfits run from Englewood Beach
Experience breathtaking views from up to 500ft in the air. The only operator in the area that can run 1200ft of towline.
Seemingly the same deal, but with different word ordering.
Screen, sift or snorkel in one of Florida’s shallow rivers or streams, find remains of ancient sharks, whales, dolphins, fish, saber-tooth cats, jaguars, mammoths, mastodons, camels, tapirs, horses, sloths, giant armadillos and much more.
Experienced tour operator on the Peace River.
Walk-in and kayak-based fossil expeditions on the Peace River.
These guys combine fossil hunting with airboat and swamp buggy rides. How cool is that?
Heading to lunch or dinner on a boat is just plain fun. Here are some of our favorites.
Kitschy place for lunch. Rumored to be where Jimmy Buffet wrote the song "Cheeseburger in Paradise" even though they don't have draft beer nor do you get a kosher pickle with your order...
Some of the best food on the island. Good chance of seeing manatees on the way there, too!
Casual dockside dining. Great place to watch sports, too.
Pretty good food, although the last time I was there they asked me to put shoes on, which was kind of annoying.
