Fifty-one fishing charters in Lee County have received an Angler’s Choice Award from an online booking platform that uses reader reviews to recognize charters worldwide.

Every year, FishingBooker, which features over 30,000 fishing trips in more than 2,000 destinations worldwide, presents select captains with the award that “honors the top captains on the platform for their efforts in providing the best possible fishing experience for their guests,” a release from FishingBooker states.

From among the 7,800 charter options on the platform, around 15% received the award this year including a “far above the average” number of Lee County captains, the release states.

To be eligible for the award, the charter operators had to meet the following criteria:

• Above 4.5 out of a possible 5-star review rating from at least 7 verified reviews

• Low cancellation rate, below 30%

• High responsiveness to booking requests, above 90%

Cape Coral, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva and Pine Island all had multiple winners
