We are a full service outdoor outfitter here in southwest Florida. We are primarily a fishing guide and outfitter service however we also offer hunting trips, camping in primitive locations, survival schools, and sight seeing trips. Please see our rates and products page for more detail. 

Pine Island Outfitters 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.

Captain Chris is a top notch guide that will provide you with an enjoyable day of fishing for Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Grouper, Trout, Snapper, Shark, or Cobia. If you're in the Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Pine Island, Sanibel, or Captiva areas please drop us a line or give us a call and we'll be happy to provide you with a great experience.   

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
