Paul - If you are going to go the gift certificate - go with Lehr's Economy Tackle - Dave Lehr is the long-time tackle owner in that region, a great guy and extremely knowledgeable - Fort Myers opens up to Pine island Sound, Charlotte Harbor, Bull Bay and then out to Boca Grand Pass.
Granted it depends upon what type of boat he has, whether it's a flats skiff, or a larger center console that he will take out to the gulf for reef fishing for grouper, snapper, kingfish, spanish mackerel, cobia, triple tail ...
... if he has a flats skiff, he's probably into snook and redfish fishing, as well as the venerable silver king ... tarpon fishermen in that region also pursue them in Boca Grande Pass - just imagine Montauk Point on it's busiest day and multiply it by 100 and that can be Boca Grande Pass during tarpon season.
Fishing in that region is great, as there are a lot more options there. I started fishing there about 1989 and have loved every second of it.
There also is an island restaurant just inside Boca Grande Pass, it's quite well known for the fishing crowd down there, very famous - they have a ton of dollar bills on the walls ... very famous (I Just cant remember it at this time) but maybe a gift certficiate for that would be fun too.
But Dave Lehr is a good one to start with regarding fishing down there - whether it's something for your boss's boat, or some fishing gear for him too. Dave can help you.
the other thought is to book him a guided trip ... while that may not sound like the best option for someone who has a boat, depending upon his experience down there, the boat he has, he can learn a lot, or may want another experience of fishing ... if you want to discuss that further, discuss guides, etc., give me a call. I know a bunch of guides down there.
