We already run this area constantly. Two easy ways to get on the water.
Captain ET runs a lot of charters on the El Jobean stretch of the Myakka, and it has become one of the regular spots for groups out of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda. It is close, it is protected, and it holds good water on days when the coast is doing something else.
The other option is worth saying plainly. Englewood is a short drive from most of Charlotte County, and if you are happy to make it, you get the water this whole operation was built around.
The El Jobean stretch is the local call. Captain ET has been running charters there long enough to know how it behaves, and for a group coming out of Port Charlotte or Punta Gorda it is the easy answer. If you would rather come to us, Englewood is a short drive from most of the county and puts you on Lemon Bay, which is the water this whole operation was built around. Either way it is the same boat, the same coaching and the same flat rate for up to six people.
Captain ET picks the launch spot based on the conditions that morning and where your group is coming from, then confirms it with you when he confirms your date. If you have a dock with enough water, he can meet you there instead, which is usually the easiest version for everybody.
Private wakesurf charters with pro instruction and Phase Five boards for every level. Dolphin and wildlife tours. Sunset cruises at golden hour. Or a Day on the Bay with no schedule at all. Every trip is private, every charter rate covers the whole group up to six guests, and everything is included. See full pricing.
Captain ET confirms personally, usually within a few hours.
The El Jobean stretch is the usual spot and we run it often. Captain ET sorts the meeting details with you directly once your date is confirmed.
For a lot of people, yes. It is a short drive from most of Charlotte County and it is the water we know best.
There is a trip fee for charters outside Englewood, and it depends on how far the boat has to travel. Captain ET gives you the exact number before you commit to anything. No surprises on the day.
Yes, and most people who book have never surfed behind a boat. The wave is adjustable and coaching is included from the first set.
We trailer the boat all over this coast. Sarasota, Siesta Key, Venice, Boca Grande, and anywhere else within about two hours of Englewood.
