Our Boat
Before Hurricane Ian attacked in 2022, Luck o' The Irish Fishing Charters proudly boasted two boats within our fleet. Unfortunately, our beautiful 24' Mako did not survive the wretched storm that deeply devastated all of Fort Myers Beach and most of Southwest Florida. Fortunately, we were very relieved to discover that our fearless 27' Carolina Skiff rode through the hurricane like it was just another day in the back bay of Fort Myers Beach. It took us a few days to find her after the storm, but we finally located her in the parking lot of an apartment complex a few blocks down the beach strip. Talk about LUCK! After a thorough inspection, we were delighted to know our Skiff only suffered minor cosmetic scratches and we have since made those repairs. We treat our boats like a part of the team because we depend on them every day. Our Skiff especially holds a special place in our hearts. As one of Luck o' The Irish Fishing Charter's original boats, she has been with us for over a decade and she's still going strong. Without our Skiff, we wouldn't be Luck o' The Irish Fishing Charters! This spacious boat offers plenty of room to accommodate up to 6 passengers aboard our private fishing charters and sunset tours. Call Captain Rich today to book your fishing excursion.

We couldn't be happier with this charter! Captain Rich was great and very prompt communicating while booking the trip and confirming it beforehand. Our guide, Kenny, was also awesome! He was very patient and extremely helpful. He knew where the fish were and was very knowledgeable, kind, and respectful. We had a blast! We love to fish and came all the way from Wisconsin/Michigan. We caught a lot of fish. We saw a lot of dolphin and even a manatee! This was an experience that we will remember forever. They're professional and also make it so fun. It felt especially good to support their local business while they and their community continue to thrive after Hurricane Ian a few months ago. They are definitely doing everything right."

This is the second time my daughter and I have gone out with Luck o’ The Irish. I have to say they came through again. We went out with Captain Joe this time and he could not have been more accommodating. Not only did he take us to spots where we caught fish, but he took the time to show my daughter, who is 9, everything he could about fishing in the Back Bay. She had an awesome time and I know she will talk about it for a long time! Thank you Captain Rich and Captain Joe for making our stay in Ft. Myers memorable.

"Captain Rich asked if we wanted to go out for sunset and it was amazing. He was incredibly nice, fun, and we were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset. Our 2 year old had the best time as well and he was so sweet to her! We would recommend Capt Rich & Lock o' the Irish Charters hands down!"
