MEET CAPTAIN ERIC
Licensed & Insured
Captain Eric Chaignet has been fishing the local waters for over twenty years and guiding for four. When not running fishing charters, Captain Eric can be found commercial fishing or diving or competing in spearfishing tournaments throughout the state.
Plenty of time on the water and under it leads to a first-hand perspective of where the fish are, and why.

Captain Eric is the best!! We have been on many charters over the years and highly recommend Gulfcart Charters. Captain Eric not only fishes but also dives the area and knows where the fish are. He is very knowledgeable and makes the trip fun.
