Join Mangroveman Charters and let Captain Paul Craft show you exactly what this part of the Gulf has to offer! Is there anything more interesting than experiencing the bountiful, beautiful waters of Naples, FL with a true local who loves to introduce new and experienced anglers to this fabulous fishery?

As a Pensacola native and lifelong fisherman, Capt. Paul knows exactly where to find the hottest bite. His knowledge about the ecosystem and wildlife of this area is truly immense. You’ll leave your trip not only with a remarkable catch, but with new angling knowledge, too!

Your adventure will start on a 22’ Proline center console boat. She features quality fishing and navigation electronics. Combined with your captain’s knowledge of this region, you’ll reach the fishing hot spots in no time. She can easily accommodate up to 6 guests, and 4 of them can fish at the same time. Bring your kids along, too! She’s equipped with all the necessary safety equipment, including lifejackets in child sizes.

Depending on the species you desire to catch, Capt. Paul will take you to various secret fishing spots. You can cruise the wild backcountry of the 10,000 Islands for Mangrove Snapper and Tarpon. Or how about heading to Naples Bay for Floridian favorites, such as Snook and Spotted Seatrout? You can also go up to 9 miles out into the Gulf, famous for being home to Sheepshead, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, and many more.

Check out Capt. Paul’s second listing for longer trips!

Whether you’re an experienced angler seeking a challenge in these famous waters, or want to take your loved ones on an unforgettable Floridian adventure, Capt. Paul has something for everyone. Your family dog is also welcome.

Capt. Paul will provide you with Penn reels and Shakespeare Ugly Stik rods, and live bait. The only thing you need to do is come aboard and let Mangroveman Charters show you how the locals do it!

Sunset fishing trip with Captain Paul
2.5 Hour Sunset Trip (Max 5 Guests) on April 2, 20213 adults
This trip couldn't have gone better! Conditions weren't favorable, with a cold front and high winds bur Capt. Paul got us in sheltered areas that held fish. In the short 2.5 hour trip my wife, daughter, and I caught 7 different species. We also got to watch numerous dolphins doing whatever it is that dolphins do. Capt Paul was very professional, prompt, and his knowledge of the mangrove Islands was amazing. We can't wait until our next fishing trip with The Mangrove Man.

2.5 Hour Sunset Trip on July 9, 20192 adults2 children
We booked a trip with Captain Paul for a Tuesday and the process was quite simple. Due to some scheduling issues, we rescheduled the trip for a Thursday, which was our initial preference. Due to weather, we were concerned that the trip might be unpleasant, but Captain Paul kept in contact with us and we only delayed the start of the trip by 15 minutes to allow the weather to clear. My wife, two 12 year old girls, and myself got on the boat and Captain Paul explained what we would be doing and answered all of our questions. He had a cooler of snacks and drinks available for our trip, as well as more than enough bait. As all of us were novices, Captain Paul worked with each of us to learn how to cast and where to cast. Eventually, we all caught a couple of fish (i.e., sheepshead, catfish, red drum, and mangrove snapper) and released them. I had even more success? catching mangrove limbs due to errant casting! Throughout it all, Captain Paul kept us informed, assisted us when needed, and made it a very enjoyable evening. We strongly recommend this charter and are definitely looking to book again when we have friends and relatives visiting.
