Naples inshore fishing questions
How do I book a Naples inshore trip?
Call (407) 392-4593, 9 am – 6 pm. We’ll check dates and give you the price for your group.
How long are the trips?
4, 6 or 8 hours.
What can I catch inshore in Naples?
Snook, redfish and tarpon. What bites depends on the season and the tide.
Do I need a fishing license?
No. The captain’s saltwater license covers everyone fishing on the trip.
What’s included in the price?
The licensed captain, boat and fuel, your saltwater fishing license, rods, reels, tackle and bait. Not included: the captain’s tip (10–20% is customary) and food and drinks.
Can we keep the fish we catch?
Size and bag limits apply to many species, and some are catch and release. Your captain can tell you what you can keep on the day.
Which trip length should I pick?
4 hours is a good first trip and works well with kids. Longer trips give the captain time to move between spots and work the tide.
Is inshore fishing good for kids and first-timers?
Yes. Inshore trips fish calmer, protected water, and your captain sets up the rods and helps every step of the way.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the captain or guide cancels for weather, you get a full refund or a free reschedule.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel for free up to 72 hours before your trip.
