Captain Steve and Jay were incredible. I've been on at least 7 other charters and this one is, by far, the best. Down-to-earth and experienced, they were wonderful helping my son have the best day of his life. If you love to fish, you won't find a better experience. Don't forget to bring your camera, lots of sunblock, water and... More

Capt. Steve has moved the Paradise to Placida, Florida. This is much more convenient for folks in the Punta Gorda through Sarasota areas. He takes parties of up to six people to a number of off-shore, and quite often has room for one or two people on his trips. We fished as a foursome with him in mid-January on a... More

We went out with Paradise today and had a great time. The captain and mate were friendly and helpful. Plus, we caught a ton of fish. I have fished in Destin, FL and coastal North Carolina with good charters, but Paradise tops them. Highly recommended and a great value!

I've been out several times with Captain Steve and have never been disapointed. He has always put us on to the fish and gives great advice on how to prepare them. If you're looking for an offshore fishing adventure (He does overnight trips and shark trips as well) you've found it.

Not Sure who REEL 1 UP is, but Paradise Fishing Charters is run by Capt. Steve, Who is my favorite Charter boat guide in SWFL. I have been fishing with him about 7 different times over the last 4 years. He always does an excellent job getting you on the fish you are looking for, and has a great personality.... More

Steve's an excellent captain. He uses a variety of methods on his trips including netting your own bait which saves you some $$$ for the time spent. I've joined him on multiple trips and always had an excellent time. It's a great place to book a singles trip and there are a variety of trips in the offing whether it... More
