Naples’ fishing scene delivers two standout experiences that serious anglers shouldn’t miss.
The offshore deep-sea tours run 4 hours and take you 15-20 miles out where the real action happens – think snappers, groupers, and yes, even sharks.
Back in calmer waters, the 3.5-hour coastal tours are perfect for landing redfish, snook, and sea trout.
I especially love the deep-sea tours for their raw excitement and the chance to battle big game fish.
The inshore trips get my vote for their consistency and family-friendly nature.
Both provide all the gear you’ll need, expert guides, and fresh bait.
A practical tip: Check your motion sickness tolerance before booking offshore trips, and wear appropriate clothing.
Let’s explore the finest fishing charters Naples has to offer.
