I am a Florida Native and have fished the waters throughout Florida my whole life. I know where to find fish any time of the year and use the best equipment on the market to help put you on fish!

My name is Captain Phil Rugari, Captain of Sliprock Charters. I run a clean, safe, fun charter that is sure to give your group the experience of a lifetime. Welcome aboard!

The boat is a 2018 2500 Carolina Bay with 300HP Yamaha Motor, Minn Kota I-Pilot trolling motor, twin talon shallow water anchors, Humminbird Fishfinder/GPS and radar, and 2 livewells. There is more than enough seating for guests and gear, and with top speed of 60 mph we get to the fishing spots quick! This gives your group plenty of time to fish!

Sliprock Charters is a full-service fishing charter right here in SW Florida. We provide everything you need for your fishing trip: including licenses, Shimano rods and reels, top of the line tackle, and a professional Captain to teach and guide as needed.

Clearwater, Florida and the surrounding area is the most beautiful travel destinations in the world. With clear blue water and soft sands, it's no wonder people love to visit! It's also home to some of the best marine wildlife. We often see dolphins, manatees, and a variety of birds while at sea.

Book a trip with Captain Phil and Sliprock Charters on your next SW Florida fishing trip. You'll be catching Snapper, Grouper, Redfish, Sea Trout, Tarpon, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Mackerel, Sheepshead and more! Book your trip today!

Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore (AM)
Exactly what someone should look for in a charter. Phil was on time, knowledgeable, and easy to talk with. Professional in all aspects. We fished a bunch of different spots and he had different techniques for the different areas. Caught fish at every spot.
