Welcome to the home of Gator Flatts Charters - my name is Captain David Hutcherson - I run Boca Grande fishing charters, Palm Island fishing charters & Englewood fishing charters. This vast & diverse estuary of Charlotte Harbor is known to provide some of the best fishing in the world. Redfish, snook, trout, tarpon & shark are on the menu. Together we will search the grass flats, creeks, passes & shorelines to find your trophy catch. I aim to provide anglers of all levels the professional fishing experience that you, our partners, have come to expect. I specialize in flats fishing & tarpon fishing in Boca Grande, Palm Island, Lemon Bay, Pine Island & Englewood. My focus is to have FUN while catching unforgettable fish in one of the most beautiful places in the world!

Captain David is a 5th generation Florida native, born and raised in Englewood, FL, on the north shore of Charlotte Harbor! David grew up on the water with a love of fishing passed down from his father and grandfather before him and spent countless days and hours on the water with his father learning the skills he is utilizing today! From wading the grass flats to canoeing the backwaters, David learned Charlotte Harbor like the back of his hand! Today with his wife Stephanie, David continues the fishing tradition by passing his skills and love of fishing to their 3 sons Joshua, Matthew & Caleb!
