You will immediately feel the stress leaving your body from the moment we depart from our dock and you begin your professionally guided charter with Captain Pete Rapps or any of his first class captains. As you begin to travel through a mesmerizing maze of red, black, and white mangroves, you will be reassured and rewarded with complete confidence that you have made the absolute correct choice in selecting Captain Rapps Charters. You have begun a real adventure in the Everglades National Park in a very special back country place that few people will ever know or see.


Everyone is welcome from male to female, children to seniors, and novice to experienced anglers. We are in the Everglades National Park and will have access to the many campsites that have port a potties, so restrooms are typically within a few short minutes from where we fish. I will gladly customize your outing to fit your individual wants & needs.

We typically depart from Chokoloskee Island & Everglades City which is just 30 - 45 minutes south of marco Island and Naples. We cover many miles of the most beautiful remote back country water in the world. See porpoise, alligators, manatees, Osprey, Roseate Spoon bills, Eagles, and a variety of other wildlife on the way to catch Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Trout, Grouper, Tripletail, Pompano, Shark, Cobia, Snapper, & Mackerel, and more.
