Knapp Outdoor Expeditions
Punta Gorda, Florida
Knapp Outdoor Expeditions is an owner-operated guide outfitter working the Charlotte Harbour and Peace River region of southwest Florida from Punta Gorda. Captain Tom Knapp was born and raised in the United Kingdom, where he grew up fishing rivers and reservoirs, mainly fly fishing for trout, before making a career on Florida’s Gulf coast; he is USCG licensed and insured. The business runs a second product line alongside the angling: sightseeing cruises looking for alligators, dolphins and manatees, priced at $450 for four hours, $600 for six and $750 for eight and carrying up to six people, which is a larger party than the fishing trips take. That split lets a family book a wildlife morning and an angling day from the same dock. Booking is direct, and the rate card for both products is published in full on the company’s own site rather than quoted only on request.
