King Fisher Fleet 
- Punta Gorda, Florida

The perfect way to sight-see and fish on beautiful Charlotte Harbor


by Steven Skelley & Thomas Routzong

If you love being outdoors and plan a visit to Charlotte Harbor in Punta Gorda, Florida, then a sightseeing or fishing cruise on the award-winning King Fisher Fleet located at the Fishermen's Village Marina is definitely a "must!"

King Fisher Fleet is a family-friendly and family-run business that’s been in operation for over 30 years at the Fishermen’s Village Marina and Shopping Mall in Punta Gorda, Florida. 

Located on beautiful Charlotte Harbor at the mouth of the Peace River, Fishermen’s Village offers 30 shops, 5 restaurants, and a resort that are the perfect compliment to King Fisher Fleet's sightseeing cruises and fishing charters.

We enjoyed every minute of our relaxing Sunset Cruise. The 90-minute Sunset Cruise
offers a gentle ride and casual tour of the harbor as the sun sets slowly into the water. The colors are magnificent. Photographers from beginner to professional are treated to great shots that they'll want to frame and show to family and friends.
