Fishing Charter FAQ for Naples

What fish can I catch in Naples?
Naples and the Ten Thousand Islands offer exceptional snook, redfish, and spotted seatrout fishing in the mangrove backcountry. Tarpon migrate through from April to July. The Naples Pier is famous for pompano and snook. Offshore Gulf trips produce grouper, snapper, permit, cobia, and goliath grouper around wrecks and reefs.
When is the best time to go fishing in Naples?
Naples fishes well year-round. Fall and winter (October-February) offer the best redfish and snook action in cooler, clearer water. Spring (March-May) is prime tarpon season and great for pompano. Summer brings excellent offshore grouper and snapper fishing. The Everglades backcountry is most productive from November through April when water levels recede.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Naples?
Backcountry and inshore charters in Naples typically cost $500-$800 for a half day and $800-$1,200 for a full day. Everglades backcountry trips run slightly higher at $600-$900 for a half day. Offshore Gulf charters range from $1,000-$1,600 for a half day to $1,600-$2,400 for a full day.
Do I need a fishing license for a charter in Naples, FL?
No. In Florida, you do not need a personal fishing license when fishing on a licensed charter vessel. This applies to all Naples-area charters, including backcountry trips in the Ten Thousand Islands and Everglades National Park.
