Capt. Chad Golliher
With over 25 years of experience fishing the waters of Charlotte Harbor and Southwest Florida, Captain Chad Golliher brings unmatched local knowledge to every trip. As a combat veteran and a current firefighter, Chad has built his life around service, discipline, and resilience—qualities he carries into guiding every client on the water.
Mangrove Coast Charters was founded on Chad’s passion for connecting people to the shallow-water world he knows best. Whether stalking redfish on the flats, chasing snook through mangrove shorelines, or pursuing the silver king itself, tarpon, Chad provides an authentic and professional experience shaped by years of dedication both in uniform and on the water.
When you fish with Captain Chad, you’re not just booking a trip—you’re joining a journey led by a guide who values integrity, hard work, and a deep respect for the environment he calls home
