Fish Naples Bay and nearby Gulf waters on a private charter with a local captain, gear, bait, and catch cleaning included.

About this tour

Set out from Naples for a private fishing trip through the region’s sheltered bays and coastal waters. On a Naples Private Fishing Boat Charter, a local U.S.C.G.-licensed captain guides your group to productive spots in Naples Bay, the backcountry, and, on calm days, as far as 9 miles into the Gulf.

Choose a 2.5-, 3-, or 4-hour outing, with morning and afternoon departures available. Cast for species such as Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Snook, Pompano, Seatrout, Jacks, and Snapper. Fishing licenses, bait, and gear are provided, and the captain will clean and bag your catch. The private 22-foot boat has cushioned seating, a T-top for partial shade, and room for up to 5 guests on fishing charters. Bring your own snacks and drinks to keep in the cooler, or enjoy the provided water, sodas, and small snacks.

Meet the captain near the Danford Street parking lot, then head to the dock together. Book a Naples Private Fishing Boat Charter for a flexible day on the water, whether you’re chasing a favorite catch or introducing the family to fishing.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 52 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Naples
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.0. Top 27% in Naples means it ranks in the top 27% of tours in Naples by this score.
