Private Fishing Boat Charters in Naples Bay and the Gulf
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.

Our family of 4 had a good time out with Captain Paul - we hit three different fishing spots and caught fish at all, but the last spot was the best - we caught a shark!! Paul was very knowledgeable and patient - especially after we kept catching squirrel fish - and with our youngest who was at first petrified but eventually warmed up and fished on her own toward the end of the trip. Our oldest said it was the highlight of our vacation - and her dad is still talking about the shark he caught!alexsV4563DM

We went out on 1/31/2022 with our children (12/11/7). We were met at the dock right on time. The boat was very clean and clearly well taken care of. The weather was less then ideal fishing conditions. Our Captain Paul still had us on fish amazingly quickly. Had a lot of cool stuff he explained on the ride to and from our fishing holes. The biggest thing for me was the way he interacted with our children. He was endlessly patient even with our "do everything myself" 7 year old. The kids were allowed to cast or bait theirp hook as little or as much as they wanted. Our middle child asked us when we got back to our vehicle to buy him no toys or presents for the next year to save money to come back. I have done several charters over the years. This was one of my favorite Captains. I will recommend him any day, double so if you have kids with.Cecefly

Captain Paul is an outstanding guide and our afternoon of fishing was perfect on his boat. He is extremely knowledgeable and interesting and our small group enjoyed his easygoing manner and hospitality. Learned a lot, caught some nice fish (and good variety) and enjoyed the afternoon so much. Great value. Thanks Captain Paul!
