Meet The Captain
4th Generation Floridian And Venice Native Mike Wise
Captain Mike Wise is a top Boca Grande Offshore Fishing Charter Captain. Mike's a fourth generation Floridian born in Venice, Florida. Mike grew up on Thornton Key, a barrier island between Stump Pass and Little Gasparilla Pass. As a child Captain Mike Wise used to take the boat to the bus stop, now that's Florida. Mike's father Merv and his neighbor actually named "Rum Bay" and he can't wait to tell you the story.
Captain Mike is one of the few Boca Grande Fishing Charter Captains, that is a federally permitted reef and pelagic species expert. This certification enables Mike's patrons to venture further that nine miles off shore, with trips up to one hundred miles from the beach, to catch the big game fish. In addition to this, Captain Mike is also a Coast Guard approved 6-pack captain (OUPV License), allowing for upto six guests on the charter boat.
