Each summer many types of shark enter the shallow waters of the "Shark Exclusive Charters" each May through October.
We fish all light weight spin gear, very close to shore, in shallow water,
for many different type of shark including..... Bull, Lemon, Hammerhead, Spinner, Sharpnose, Bonnethead, Nurse, and Black Tip.

All of our Shark fishing is "Catch and Release" |
Provided on each charter:• Bait
Tips: Tipping your captain for good service is customary in the charter business, and is most certainly appreciated. Typically it'sabout the same as gratuity for good service in a restaurant. Book Captain Rapps personally, or any of his friendly, knowledgeable,and patient National Park Licensed Guides. Captain Rapps' boat is most comfortable fishing 2 anglers, however holds up to 3 anglers. We also have boats that comfortably
It is alot of fun for groups of 4 or more to go out in several boats and do a "tag team"
Deposits, Cancellations & PaymentIf the customer cancels the trip with at least a 48 hour notice, they will receive a full refund. A customer who is a 'no show', or does not give at least 48 hours notice, will however, forfeit their deposit. A one-hundred dollar ($100) deposit is required to book your charter. If Capt. Rapps cancels prior to the trip, the customer will receive a full refund.
Accepted forms of payment are: Cash, Paypal, Mastercard, Visa, & ![]() |
How to Reserve Your Trip: Don't wait till the last minute - Be sure to book as far as possible in advance to reserve the dates you would like to fish. It is not uncommon for us to have bookings several weeks or months ahead. If your schedule allows, I like to look at the tide charts, moon phase, weather patterns, and several other factors to give you the best scenario to fulfill your dream. You can use the contact form right here on the web site to reach me. Items you should bring :• Hat, sun protective clothing, & sunglasses (preferably polarized) * Please keep your items to a minimum as stowage space is very limited.
WHERE TO STAY You can stay right at CHOKOLOSKEE ISLAND PARK, which is where we meet for most of our charters. They have nice efficiency units with a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. You can also camp here.
If you are wanting more of a hotel room, with breakfast served, & a swimming pool, then I recommend THE IVEY HOUSE HOTEL in Everglades City which is just 10 minutes from the docks.
