Our Private Fishing Charters last either 4, 3, or 2.5 hours, including an approximately 15-minute session for cleaning and packing your fish. The shorter charter trips are perfect for busy anglers and families with young children.
We offer both morning and evening sessions.
Our experienced Captain will guide you to Naples’ most fruitful fishing areas, such as the lively backcountry, Naples Bay, and up to 9 miles into the Gulf on particularly serene days. Possible catches include Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, the tenacious Snook, Pompano, Seatrout, Jacks, and Snapper.
The boat is equipped with advanced features including a GPS system, Fishfinder, trolling Motor and Bluetooth Stereo. All seats come with cushions for maximum comfort. The boat’s higher gunnels prevent children from falling overboard. There’s also a T-Top for shade. We provide top-of-the-line Ugly Stik rods and a variety of Penn reels.
