Welcome ............to Pine Island Charters
Pine Island Fishing Charters is owned and operated by Captain Chris Stanford. Raised in South Florida, a ten year Navy veteran and a Florida State certified paramedic settled here on Pine Island for some of the greatest fishing in the world.
Fishing since he was old enough to hold a cane pole, Chris has fished everywhere from the coast of southern California to the bay of Guantanamo. Having extensive local knowledge of the surrounding waters adds greatly to the experience that Captain Chris can bring to bare. He will guide you through the local waters showing you the sites & sounds of fishing or exploring in Southwest Florida.

I enjoy introducing people to the beauty this area has to offer and hearing the shouts or grunts of excitement when someone finds themselves tied to the business end of a big snook or redfish - Capt Chris Stanford
