Captain Erik Johnson focuses on creating a relaxed but productive atmosphere where guests can learn, improve techniques, and enjoy steady action.

Your trip takes place aboard a 22ft Skeeter Bay Boat built for comfort, stability, and performance. Equipped with modern electronics, Power-Pole anchoring, and U.S. Coast Guard safety gear, it ensures a smooth and safe ride for up to four guests. All charters are all-inclusive. Rods, reels, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning are provided — you simply show up ready to fish. Half-day, 6-hour, and full-day trips are available, along with seasonal tarpon charters and custom fishing & sightseeing combinations. Guests choose Sea N Red Charters because of consistent results, local knowledge, and a personalized approach. Every trip is about more than just catching fish — it’s about building memories, learning from an experienced captain, and experiencing Southwest Florida the right way.

ishing has never just been a job for me — it’s been a lifelong passion. My name is Captain Erik Johnson, and I’m the owner and operator of Sea N Red Charters here in Fort Myers, Florida. I grew up fishing in Erie, Pennsylvania, and after moving to Southwest Florida in 1994, I quickly fell in love with the incredible variety of fishing our Gulf waters offer. From backwater snook and redfish to seasonal tarpon runs and nearshore snapper and grouper, this area truly has it all.
