Flats Backcountry Charters offers incredible boating tours and nature
experiences to those with the adventuresome spirit.
This is a personalized “one on one” experience with nature…..no
classical tour-boat operation here! We
go far into the backcountry and Mangrove Jungles where wildlife almost acts
unaffected by the presence of humans.
Here
are just a few of the things that you can experience on an outing!

Capt. Chuck knows where the Manatee’s live.
They are such friendly, docile creatures that often they like to hang
next to Chuck’s boat when visiting “their home”.
Dolphins are a friendly site seen on nearly every outing.
Often times when we catch bait by throwing a large cast net, Dolphins are
nearby and pay us a friendly visit. Just
like Flipper, sometimes they will jump out of the water to show off.
Many times they can be seen eating the baitfish right next to the
boat…..very exciting indeed!

Dolphins are very friendly in Charlotte Harbor |
Then, if you have never seen an Alligator in the wild- GET READY!
There are plenty of Alligators in the
Peace River
. They can often be seen in
their natural habitat and many times will “pose” for the camera with open
jaw and large teeth showing………..very scary, but we’ll keep a safe
distance!
We
can also go to remote beaches where you can be the first one to put your
footprint in the sand. Sunbathing,
swimming and a nice shore lunch can be arranged to have a personal experience
you will remember for a life time! Plenty
of beautiful shells and sharks teeth abound.
Sand Dollars, various crabs, minnows and an array of interesting sea life
are also at your finger tips and at your toes as you walk through the clear Gulf
waters.

Sunset cruises are also offered. Capt.
Chuck can arrange a very interesting day for you and include a visit to a nice
waterfront restaurant. There are
plenty around including the Flamingo and Cabbage Key.
Just lots of fun sipping a nice drink and eating a great lunch at fun
restaurants during your day. By the
way, both restaurants are situated near Mangrove Jungles and just getting there
is fun. One last thing - Capt.
Chuck’s boat runs in extremely shallow water, less than 1 foot and often as we
scoot along, Stingrays, Fish, Sharks and other magnificent sea creatures can be
seen just ahead of the boat as we explore the vast backcountry wilderness!
