Spend a day with Naples Everglades Fishing Charters and enjoy the bountiful waters of the Everglades, Ten Thousand Islands and offshore. This is a perfect way to spend some time outdoors in the company of your loved ones and catch some tasty fish on the way. Both beginners and experienced anglers are welcome to join, so don’t worry if you don’t have any fish trophies on your resume - you’re about to get some!
Fish aboard a 25’ Parker center console that accommodates up to 6 guests. She’s powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine that can reach the speed of 35 knots, so you’ll be on your fishing spot in no time. The boat features a live bait tank, and a cooler for your catch. On some trips, you can be accompanied by the first mate, so you’ll have extra help with your equipment.
Every type of fishing ground is our playground. You can visit flats, backcountry, reefs, wrecks, and nearshore spots. This results in a very long list of possible catches, so we’ll mention just a few, such as Black Drum, Red Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Flounder, Trout, Black Grouper, and more.
We cover your fishing license and full equipment, including rods, reels, lures, and live bait. After the trip, the captain will also clean the catch for you, so you’ll leave the dock with the freshest fish fillets.
Just pack some drinks, snacks, and don’t forget your sun protection. Naples Everglades Fishing Charters is waiting for you!

1.5 Hr Everglades Kids Fish 2p on January 19, 2025
We booked a trip with Captain Jimmy and my husband, son, and our son's friend are far more experienced fishers. I hadn't fished in about 20-25 years and Captain Jimmy corrected my statement that "I can't cast" which is now, "that was true when I said it, but now I can cast." He was so patient teaching me! I'm not very coordinated, but I am have no trouble baiting a line myself! We will book a longer trip next time do we can bring in some dinner instead of just catch and release. Everyone caught a lot of fish and we chatted about dogs and it was simply a delightful experience and I can't wait until the next time we're visiting my parents to book another trip.

I hadn't fished since I was a little kid and didn't realize how much fun it was! We booked a trip with Captain Jimmy in January and he got me hooked! When we visited my parents again in April with my son and his friend, we booked a second, longer trip so we could keep some of our catch. Again, so much fun! Captain Jimmy took time to ensure everyone in our group was having fun and catching fish.

Captain Jimmy was amazing with our two kids. Extremely kind and put us on fish right away. Rods were bent the entire trip. Highly recommend especially if you are bringing your kids. He even mixed in a treat for Dad with tarpon by the dock. Would not hesitate to book again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip. The only complaint which is no one’s fault is that the 2.5hrs didn’t seem long enough for a group of adults/teen. Next time we will book a longer fishing trip! Takes time to get out and back. Captain Jimmy was amazing and so helpful! We caught so many fish! Great experience!! Everyone loved it! Will definitely be back!!
