Backwater Calm Bay Fishing



Backwater Calm Bay Fishing with Pure Florida is the ideal choice for those who enjoy calm waters, scenic views, and abundant wildlife.

Perfect for families with younger kids (ages 4–12), these shorter trips offer plenty of fishing action without the extended duration of deep sea outings. All equipment is provided, and while catches aren’t guaranteed, the experienced crew will take you to proven fishing spots. Passengers under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 or older. Whether you're a beginner or experienced angler, Pure Florida’s backwater trips deliver a laid-back, enjoyable day on the water surrounded by the natural beauty of Southwest Florida.
