Rigid Fishing Charters is a fishing charter business located in Cape Coral. We offer both inshore and offshore fishing trips, as well as snapper fishing trips. Our captain, Captain Joseph Arguelles, has been fishing in Florida his whole life and loves it!


Captain Joseph Arguelles has been fishing in Florida his whole life and loves it more than anything else. Captain Joseph Arguelles has been fishing in Florida his entire life and loves it more than anything else. He takes pride in offering his guests a safe, fun experience that they'll love. He's also a great captain who can help you land the big one!


They offer two types of fishing trips: inshore and offshore. Inshore trips are great for families or first-time fishermen, as they take place near the coast and only require a light tackle. Offshore trips are farther out to sea and can get you up close with any number of fish species, including snapper, grouper, tuna and more!


We are confident that you will love your trip with us just as much as we love being out on the water. If you're looking for something fun to do with your family or friends on vacation, this is exactly what you need! We'd love to have you come out and experience all the magic of fishing in Florida!

Cape Coral Fishing Report

The Snook bite is extremely good in the backcountry and flats. As the weather is settling into autumn patterns, some species may be moving south along the coast. The cold nights have been perfect for fishing so get your rods ready and cast a line, enjoy a fun-filled Cape Coral fishing excursion by booking a trip with Rigid Fishing Charters!

The captain and owner, Joseph, was knowledgeable, always helpful, and a joy to be around.

August 18, 2025

We had a fantastic experience. Joe hooked us up on the first stop. We caught many trout as well as some Puffers. My wife also caught a shark. We then moved to deeper water in search of Tarpon. We saw a lot of them, but no bites. It was a fantastic day.
