Select the best fishing charter for you:
How do I know what fishing charter is the best for me and also has the best value? The first thing you may like to do is to have all the following information available when you call to book your fishing trip; 1. How many persons are in your group and what are their ages? 2. Are you looking for a day of backwater fishing on a smooth brackish estuary off the Gulf of Mexico, or would you rather brave the sea and book an offshore charter with a wider variety of species and success? 3. How long would you like to be on the water? We offer trips from four hours up to an entire week of fishing excitement depending on your plans.

Hammerhead Shark Naples Florida Fishing Charters
Full moon and night trips are a great way to take advantage of Florida’s cooler climate as well as catching night feeding fish. It is proven that certain species of fish feed more at night during the full moon cycle because of stronger tides. We will target snook, tarpon, grouper, lane snapper, yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, shark, and permit.
Combination trips are a great way to knock out several peoples interest all in one trip. Kids and non-anglers get bored of watching us enthusiastic angler’s having our fill of fun. This trip you can pick between fishing, sightseeing, shelling, and scuba diving. Let the kids play and swim while the adults lounge on an island sipping on cocktails. Or set out and venture the island and find the awesome shells you won’t find on those crowded beaches.

If you are looking for that fish of a lifetime opportunity this is the way to go. We specialize in putting you on big fish and will do what it takes to make sure you get a chance to experience what drag screaming is all about.
Offshore past 9 miles cont’d..
If you are looking for a long range trip in the 20-40 mile range or further we can customize this trip to target select species of fish whether for game or table fare. These trips run eight to twelve hours in length and can be extended to accommodate your expectations.
You can expect to catch several species of snapper from lane snapper, yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, red snapper, gag grouper, red grouper, black grouper, amberjack, cobia, king mackerel, tuna, bonita, goliath grouper, sharks, and many other reef fish. The types of structure we fish range from natural coral bottom, ledges, wrecks, reefs, springs, which have been proven high activity spots which have been all dove by our dive team to ensure when we fish a spot there is no guess work to where the fish are at.
To ensure the best success there are many factors to take in consideration from tide, barometric pressure, moon phase as well as many other factors. Our team will do everything possible to put all these conditions into play when choosing the best time to schedule your departure time and length of trip. Please remember we are not commercial fishermen and our main goal is to give you the best fishing experience possible while practicing conservation.
We ARE NOT a kill boat and will not keep limits of any species as any full time, long term Captain would not. Our fishery can’t handle that kind of pressure. We leave that up to the commercial fishermen that fish areas far enough out that do not effect our fishing. For clients that want to keep more than enough for a meal, please request this type of trip which at that point we would put you on one of our long range commercial trips that would not have an impact on our recreational fishing spots. This is why we are so successful and why we catch big fish 90 % of the time.
All of our charters are designed to give our clients an opportunity to catch that fish of a lifetime. We employ only the most qualified Captains for the type of fishing you will be doing. Regardless of your expertise our staff is trained to teach each fishermen new techniques which will ensure you have the best chance of landing that big fish and learning something new.
