October 4, 2025Captain Dillon did an absolutely amazing job, from before we even arrived, he was communicative, quick to reply and extremely helpful! Then the morning arrived and from the moment we were on site He was on point, and got us right on the fish, immediately reelin em in! He was so attentive to each of us the entire day, never let up or took a break. Got us on some monster red, we caught some Jacks, more speckled trout than I count and all day just had the most amazing experience!! Would highly recommend him to anyone that would listen, and plenty that arent! I really couldn’t say enough about how awesome our experience was, and that was because of the human element, Captain Dillon. Absolute Joy! Fish On!!

July 24, 2025Captain Dillon with Salt Water Excursions gave our family an unforgettable day on the water in Fort Myers! It was our family’s first time fishing on salt water. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly patient with everyone—especially the kids. We caught some great fish, learned a lot, and had so much fun. Captain Dillon made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved the entire time. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for an awesome fishing experience in the Fort Myers area!

July 18, 2025We had an incredible day on the water. The weather was perfect, and we saw dolphins, sharks, and pelicans along the way. We caught plenty of fish, including three big trout that we took to a local restaurant to cook for us—such a treat. Captain Dillon was fantastic—he knows the water inside and out, helped us get set up, and gave helpful tips throughout the trip. It was the perfect outing for our family of four, including two teenage boys. If you're in or around Sanibel, don’t miss out on Saltwater Excursions SWFL. We’ll definitely be booking again!

June 30, 2025Captain Dillon knows his stuff and has a real talent for finding fish. We landed over 30 as a group—not all were keepers, but the action was steady and a lot of fun. We caught Redfish, Snook, Snapper, Catfish, Pinfish, and Ladyfish, with some solid fighters in the mix. His experience really made the difference.

May 29, 2025One of the best experiences we’ve had in the Sanibel and Fort Myers area over the past 9 years. I’m so glad we chose Captain Dillon as our guide! My boys and I had an incredible time—Dillon is kind, fun, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He’s also a fireman, which just adds to how much we respected and appreciated him. He was patient and helpful the entire trip. We caught plenty of fish and learned a lot about the local islands, waterways, and history. While he cleaned our catch, we walked the white sand beach nearby—pure paradise. We highly recommend Dillon—he’s top-notch. Time to enjoy some fresh trout and redfish!

September 13, 2024Booking was quick and Captain Dillon responded right away. The location was convenient—close to the fishing spots and perfect for dinner afterward. We had short runs to the fishing grounds and a comfortable setup throughout. Caught plenty of nice fish and enjoyed the scenic views. Captain Dillon was personable and made sure all four of us stayed fishing the whole time. He even cleaned and prepped our catch, which we had cooked next door at the marina. We’ll definitely book with him again—highly recommend for anyone planning a trip in the area.

March 15, 2024This was the best guided fishing trip I have ever been on. Captain Dillan really goes above and beyond all expectations. He teaches you all about SWFL fishing while having so much fun! I can’t recommend him enough. Just book the trip with him and enjoy the ride. We are going to set up a monthly outing with him.

January 1, 2023Our previous captain canceled on us, but luckily we found Dillon and he was the best guide we've ever had! The communication was great, the equipment was top-notch, and within 20 minutes of leaving the dock, we were already catching fish left and right. We caught at least 30 fish within the first 45 minutes of our trip, and Dillon's knowledge of the waters, islands, and landscape made the experience even more memorable. Despite the occasional distraction of dolphins, we couldn't have asked for a better outing. We're already looking forward to booking another trip with Dillon and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure in Fort Myers. Don't miss out and book with this Captain today!
