About
My name is Captain Shawn Kelly. I’ve been a Professional USCG registered Captain for more than 16 years. For the last 10+ years, I have dedicated my career to the waters of Pine Island Sound with a special focus on Sanibel and Captiva. I am proud to call the historic Jensen’s Twin Palms Marina home, however we can pick you up wherever you’d like from Captiva, Sanibel, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Pine Island or North Captiva. I’m an avid fisherman, a husband and a father who has experienced the great opportunity to teach my son, but also hundreds of other kids how to fish. We fish year-round from Ft. Myers Beach to the famed Boca Grand Pass and everything in between. With more than a decade on these waters, we know when and where to find fish. Our goal is to make your trip as memorable as can be for you, your family and your friends.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Shawn was very knowledgeable and taught my 11 and 10 year old a lot about fishing. We caught many different species of fish and had a blast. Will definitely call Shawn next time in town.

I’ve been coming to Captiva since 1986 and have fished the beach, Blind Pass and have been out with various guides but I have never had so much success as I did last week with Captain Shaw Kelly. Shawn knows his stuff, he put me on the fish. Limited out on Trout in the first hour and then it was on to find the Snook and boy did we ever. Shawn’s an awesome Captain and a great guy to spend the day with, I would highly recommend him for a memorable experience!

Captain Shawn was excellent. He took myself and 2 others on a fishing trip this week; while we vacationed at Cape Coral. He put us right on the fish. He was very knowledgeable of the area and where the fish were including what they were feeding on. He was very professional and accommodating. The winds were faily high the day we went with the waters a little choppy; but he was still right on the fish and we caught several. We had a great time.

Definitely the boat to choose with a family. Captain Shawn was amazing with our kids and made sure they had a great time. From the moment we got on board you could tell he wanted to give us the best experience possible. Great fishing, great day, great captain. He even takes care of all the filleting of the fish for you to take home.
Will definitely do this again when in Cape Coral.

Great fishing guide. Shawn put us on some huge snook and had all the rods ready to go as soon as we got in the boat. Highly recommended booking a trip with Shawn.
