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 hours or 3 hours 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 Mangrove Snapper.

The boat's electronics include GPS, Fishfinder and Bluetooth Stereo. Seating is cushioned and can seat all the 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.

Had a wonderful time on our private charter with Captain Paul. He took us to prime fishing spots that delivered not only fish, but also outstanding views of Naples, the bay and the gulf. Additionally, we were able to watch dolphins frolic right next to our boat! Many thanks to Captain Paul...he is also a great fish cleaner! Jeff and Stacey

Captain Paul was a great guy that made our trip to Naples, Florida an absolute blast. We fished in the mangroves, had dolphins following in our wake, saw birds of all types, and enjoyed eating our catch after the trip. When the fish stopped biting, Paul even stayed out with us an extra couple of hours so that we could try our luck in a few more places, and it paid off. Everyone had caught fish to keep by the time we were back on the shore! When we arrived at the boat, Captain Paul had it waiting for us and ready to go, and even had a cooler stocked with snacks, soft drinks, and water for us. All throughout the morning we learned lots of cool facts about nature, the history of the area, and the wildlife. He was also super helpful with the fishing process, such as techniques for how to best choose a spot, and how to bait the hook. Also, he has the best dad jokes and puns in the business! This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I'd definitely recommend Mangroveman Charters to anyone wanting a great time fishing in Naples and hiring a great boat charter.
