I stayed in Ft. Myers Beach for 8 days on vacation, and the fishing was the most fun I had--and I almost never fish. This was, in fact, my first saltwater fishing experience. We did a hybrid trip of grass flats (sea trout, Spanish mackerel, etc.) and shark fishing. All 3 of us on the trip hooked a shark! Cpt.... More

Went fishing with Captain Shawn and had a blast. He knows where to go to get the fish and he makes the trip worth your while. More

We had a wonderful day with Captain Shawn of Paradise Charters. We went for a half day charter and caught tons of fish including Pompano, Sea Trout, Spanish Mackerel, and Ladyfish...Captain Shawn is very friendly and really knows what he is doing. Thanks for the great fishing trip!! More

I've been out with my friends several times with Captain Shawn in the last year. In every case, we've caught a lot of nice fish including a bonnet head shark, pompano, flounder, trout & spanish mackerel. Shawn is very easy to talk to and does everything he can to make your day enjoyable. (Going on the charter is also a... More

We had a great day out on the water with Captain Shawn. Full boat and everyone was landing fish of various types. The action was constant, the day and weather was great, and of course, Captain Shawn put us right in the middle of the fish. We definitely leave his boat feeling tired, satisfied and with a cooler filled with... More

Our party was two reluctant wives, two kids that didn't have a choice, my friend, and myself. Capt Shawn promised a good time would be had by all. He delivered on his promise. Our instructions were that we wanted to catch fish, have something to eat, and maybe catch some shark if possible. I had the fishing trip of a... More

My three sons and I booked a 6 hour fishing trip and it was great. Capt. Shawn and his wife Dottie are the best and a very personable couple. They did everything to make our trip a memorable one and we caught a lot of fish including a hammerhead shark which can be seen in the pictures. I highly recommended... More

My two Brothers, our Dad, and myself spent 6+ hours last week with Capt. Shawn and his wife, having fun fishing like we haven't experienced since my Brothers and I were very young. Not only are you well taken care of in terms of fishing gear, baiting, and even casting, but Capt. Shawn is also actively monitoring each person to... More
