My name is Will and I had the chance to go on a 10-hour offshore trip with Captain Dan and a group of guys from Wisconsin. We caught our limit of red grouper pretty quickly and added snapper as well. Dan is very knowledgeable and keeps the trip fun the whole time.

Awesome day with Captain Dan and Best Catch Fishing Charters. The weather was perfect and the fishing was great. My nephews and brother-in-law were visiting for the holidays and loved every minute of the trip. Thanks again Captain Dan.

I don’t normally leave reviews but when something is really good I try to let people know. Captain Dan is awesome. Unlike some charters I’ve been on before, he actually works hard the whole time to get you on fish. Great trip.

We booked a full day fishing trip with Captain Dan and Alex. Besides great customer service they really know their fishing spots and made sure we got into fish. You won’t be disappointed booking with them.

Traded in our Minnesota freshwater fishing for some saltwater red grouper and it was definitely worth it. Limited out pretty quickly and Captain Dan was a great guide. Awesome trip.

This was supposed to be a red snapper and grouper trip. We did catch grouper but unfortunately we lost some time when the anchor dragged and got caught in the prop. It cost us a chunk of the trip. Still caught some fish but it wasn’t the full experience we expected.

Had an awesome trip with Captain Dan on the Best Catch. Our coolers were packed with grouper and snapper by the end of the day. Arms were sore from fighting fish even two days later. Thanks again for a great trip!

I’ve been fishing offshore with Captain Dan from Best Catch Fishing Charters for over 10 years now. He’s a first class captain and always finds the fish. If you’re in the Englewood area and want to go fishing, check him out. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve fished all over Southwest Florida offshore for grouper and Captain Dan works harder than most. He puts in the effort to get you the fish you’re after. We had one heck of a day and I’ll definitely be a returning customer. Highly recommend.

Great trip with Captain Dan and mate Max. Weather looked questionable at first but Dan still got us on the fish. We came back with a full limit of red grouper. Thanks again, we’ll definitely be back.

Six of us went out and limited out on red grouper in just a few hours. Captain Dan definitely knows where the fish are. Great day and a lot of fun. If you want to catch grouper this is the guy to book.

Captain Dan was awesome. We booked a last minute six hour trip and it worked out great. I liked that we stopped on the way out to catch fresh live bait instead of using frozen stuff. Made a big difference and we caught plenty of fish.

Captain Dan had great energy from the start, funny and easy to talk to. The ride out on the Parker was smooth and the fishing was incredible. Tons of red grouper and we filled our limit pretty quickly before moving on to other bottom fish. Awesome day.

We’ve done several trips with Best Catch Fishing Charters and every time it’s been great. When you go out with Captain Dan you know you’re going to catch fish and have a good time. He knows exactly where to go and always works hard to make the trip enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We came down for spring break and had a five star fishing trip. Captain Dan was great with the kids and made the whole experience fun. There were four of us and we caught a bunch of big red grouper plus some mangrove snapper that tasted amazing. Fishing ended up being the highlight of our trip.

Very professional fishing experience from start to finish. The crew is family oriented and really pays attention to the details. They know the area well and made sure we were catching fish throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a solid trip.

Captain Dan absolutely knocked it out of the park this week. We limited out on red grouper, caught a bunch of snapper, and ended up with more fish than we expected. Plenty to feed the family for a while. Great trip and a lot of fun.

Captain Dan and Andreas are some of the hardest working guys out there. These guys really hustle and always try their best to put you on fish. I’ve been offshore several times in my life and honestly haven’t had a better experience than fishing with Captain Dan and Best Catch Fishing Charters. We brought home some beautiful red grouper and snapper. Great trip all around.
