Straw Hats Fishing Charters offers unforgettable fishing experiences in the stunning waters of western Florida. Located in Port Charlotte, our charters provide access to abundant inshore fishing opportunities, enhancing the beauty of the “Suncoast.”

Captain Cody Cristello, hailing from a family of charter captains in the Keys, will guide you on an exhilarating adventure to catch your favorite fish. With a lifelong passion for fishing and obtaining his own license at the age of 18, Captain Cody promises to share his secrets and help you land that prized catch.

Embark on our state-of-the-art 26’ Avenger bay boat and set sail from rivers to reefs. Accommodating up to 6 guests, we'll navigate from one prime fishing spot to another in search of prized fish. Enjoy a 360-degree view and spacious deck while battling monster fish, as Captain Cody provides water and chips to keep you energized. Rest assured, all our gear is brand new!

Prepare to test your fishing skills and physical strength as we explore the waters surrounding Port Charlotte, Boca Grande, and Englewood. Snook, Sharks, and Tarpon will provide a challenging fight, while Redfish, Trout, and Snappers promise exciting battles as well.

After an exhilarating day, cool off by going snorkeling. Simply contact Captain Cody, and he can provide the necessary equipment. If you prefer a leisurely evening cruise, ask Capt. Cody to take you dolphin watching and sightseeing. We can also arrange a trip to Cabbage Key island for shelling or any other beach activities you enjoy. Water will be provided on board, and you are welcome to bring your own alcohol, excluding glass containers.

At the end of the day, Captain Cody will clean and fillet your catch, so you can take it home. We provide all the necessary equipment, including licenses. Make Straw Hats Fishing Charters your next destination on your visit to western Florida!
