Private Island for Fishing and Boating at Palm Island

Stump Pass, located on the northern shores of our private island resort, is a popular spot for fishing. Whether you prefer fishing from the shores or in the surf, or casting off the bays and coves of the Intracoastal Waterway from one of our several dock locations, you’ll find ample opportunities here.

For those wishing to venture further, we invite you to explore the deep sea fishing opportunities off our private beaches. We’re proud to partner with Wise Guy Charters, led by the experienced Capt. Mike Wise, offering charters in Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande, and Lemon Bay.

If you’re feeling adventurous and would like to arrange a fishing trip, please contact our Activities Coordinator. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, our team, along with Capt. Mike Wise, is ready to provide an unforgettable private island fishing and boating experience.

Boat Tours can be arranged through our activities department and provide something for everyone. Perhaps you’re interested in an educational trip from a naturalist’s perspective, offering you the best opportunity to learn about Southwest Florida’s ecosystem within the barrier and coastal islands of our private island.

If you love sunsets, then capture the radiant streams of color off and above the horizon of the Gulf of Mexico. Our weather patterns and absence of big city lights provide a blank canvas that may very well be painted differently each evening.

Enjoy a Sunset cruise, experience the enchantment of dolphins playing in the waters off our private beaches, or the wonders of the Manatees in the mangroves and many more of our hidden wildlife splendors.

For those seeking a more adventurous experience, we offer off shore fishing trips with Wise Guy Charters. Led by Capt. Mike Wise, these trips provide an opportunity to venture beyond our private island and into the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
