What Our Clients Say

“I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a fishing adventure with Day 5 Charters and it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment we set sail, I could tell that this was going to be a fun and memorable trip. The captain and crew were incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we had everything we needed for a successful day of fishing. But what really stood out to me was the beautiful island adventure we had while on the boat. The stunning shell collection on display was a sight to behold and added an extra layer of excitement to the trip. It was clear that the crew had put a lot of effort into creating a unique and enjoyable experience for their guests. Overall, I highly recommend Day 5 Charters for anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable fishing adventure. The combination of amazing fishing and island exploration made for a perfect day on the water. Thank you to the entire team for an incredible experience. I can't wait to come back and do it all again!”

“Absolutely one of the most memorable experiences for our family of 6. My kids Are 10, 8, 6, and 3 and they had a blast. We did an all day island adventure and caught some fish to eat. Did some swimming and shelling and enjoyed fighting some sharks on the line too. Captain John was extremely friendly and kind. He helped my 6 and 3 year old daughters reel in some trout. I can’t wait to go out with Day 5 Charters again. They know their stuff and enjoy doing it. If you are looking for a charter in the Ft Myers area. Look no further.”
