Overview

Price as shown is for the boat trip (it is a group price) and not per adult! The Private Fishing Charters are either 4, 3 or 2.5 hrs long. This time includes also time needed for cleaning/bagging your catch (about 15 min.). The shorter charter trip is ideal for anglers with a very busy schedule and families with small children.

You can choose between morning and afternoon trips.

The Captain will take you to the fishing hotspots of Naples, including the wild and wonderful backcountry, Naples Bay, and up to 9 miles out into the Gulf on very calm days. Expect to reel in Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, the hard-fighting Snook, Pompano, Seatrout, Jacks and Snapper.
The boat's electronics include GPS, Fishfinder, trolling Motor and Bluetooth Stereo. Seats are cushioned for all guests. The higher sides of the boats gunnels help ensure that the little ones can't fall overboard. The T-Top provides some shade. Fishing poles are quality Ugly Stik rods and various sized Penn reels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Fishing Boat Charters in Naples Bay and the Gulf?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
