The Harbor, Coves, Rivers, Estuaries Coastlines and Reefs in and around the Fort Myers, Florida area contains a wide array of fish, birds, animals and wildlife.

Depending on the time of the year, weather, temperature, and mating season, you may be able to observe the following while on our Shelling and Sightseeing Charter:

  • Manatees: Fort Myers is known for its resident manatee population. These gentle sea mammals can often be spotted in the warm waters of the region. In the Fort Myers, FL area, they may best bee seen around late December, January, and February, and sometimes as late as March when the gulf temperature is below 68F.
  • Dolphins: Bottlenose dolphins are commonly seen in the waters in and around Fort Myers.
  • Birds: Southwest Florida is home to a rich variety of bird species. You might spot wading birds like herons, egrets, and ibises, roseate spoonbills, pelicans, wood storks, as well as ospreys, eagles, and other raptors.
  • Reef Inhabitants: The Gulf is home to a diverse array of fish species. You may see colorful reef fish such as angelfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, and damselfish. Larger species like grouper, snapper, and barracuda are also common. Look for various invertebrates like sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. You might also spot crabs, lobsters, and shrimp.
  • Alligators: If you venture into freshwater areas like rivers and estuaries, you may come across alligators, especially in more secluded and natural settings.
  • Fish: The waters around Fort Myers are teeming with a variety of fish species. Depending on the charter, you may witness schools of fish, and, if you're lucky, even some larger game fish.
  • Mangrove ecosystems: Exploring the mangroves can reveal a unique ecosystem with crabs, snails, and various fish species. Mangroves are vital habitats for many marine species.
  • Sea Turtles: Depending on the time of year, you may encounter sea turtles, particularly during their nesting season.
  • Lizards: Various lizard species, including anoles and geckos, can be found in the region.
  • Marsh Rabbits: Native to wetland areas, these rabbits are adapted to a life in and around water.
  • Bobcats: While more elusive, bobcats inhabit the region and may be spotted in more remote areas.
  • Jellyfish and Rays: In coastal waters, especially in the Gulf of Mexico, you may encounter different species of jellyfish and rays.

Shelling

During a Shelling & Sightseeing Charter, Captain Larry can take you to prime shelling locations, such as barrier islands, sandbars, and beaches, where they can explore and collect seashells. The southwest Florida coast is known for its beautiful beaches and abundant seashells, making it a popular destination for shell enthusiasts. While shelling you may often be provided the oppotunity for wildlife and nature observation. You might encounter dolphins, seabirds, and other coastal wildlife during the excursion.

Captain, Larry Hendricks

"Growing up in Northern Ohio in a family of anglers I quickly learned the joy of fishing from my parents and grandparents. There are pictures of me fishing as far back as I can remember. By starting out in farm ponds and rivers then graduating to the "big waters" of Lake Erie and working at a local tackle store, I learned everything that I could about catching fish."
