Captain Mike Zeleny first came to Fort Myers in the summer of 1999 at the age of 7. As a kid, he spent virtually all of his free time fishing. Some of his favorite spots were surf fishing on Sanibel & Captiva and kayak fishing the winding mangrove trails.

Before he got into the charter business industry, he moved to Pittsburgh for 4 years to completed his undergraduate degree at Carnegie Mellon University and ultimately decided to come back to Fort Myers to pursue his career on the water. 

Captain Mike took sometime to gather experience on the water and after many hours, he received his captain's license in the summer of 2016. 

He feels privileged to be able to offer custom excursions in such a diverse area. He is excited to now have the opportunity to share his experiences.
