Captain Ben Charters specializes in light tackle inshore fishing adventures in Naples and Marco Island. Join Captain Ben Geroy and enjoy some of the finest backwater fishing that Southwest Florida has to offer.
Check the bite on a half-day adventure in the backwaters or get the waters all to yourselves on a full-day trip. Fish with light tackle, go for spinning, test yourself in jigging, or try fly fishing. Before you make your first cast, Capt. Ben will guide you through the basics. Just tell him which fishing methods you'd like to try!
Capt. Ben will work hard to put you on top of the hot bite. On your day out, you will be able to take a lot of fish species off your personal Southwest Florida bucket list. Go after the 'Silver King' Tarpon when the season allows or target toothy Sheepshead. Get a healthy dose of Redfish, Snook, and Black Drum. Chase Jack Crevalle and Mangrove Snapper, or catch Goliath Grouper.
Or try something different and target Lemon, Bull, and Blacktip Shark. Kids love Shark trips!
Just hop onboard a 23' custom-built Atlas Boatworks bay boat, designed specifically for guided fishing in Southwest Florida. Its single 200 HP Mercury 4-stroke engine will power up to 2 anglers to the hottest grounds in the area in comfort and style. The boat is very light for its size, which allows it to run and float in very shallow water.
The boat is outfitted with modern electronics and professional tools to save your time while searching for fish. You will be able to relax in padded, swiveling seats. All aboard!
All trips come with a license, bait, tackle, gear, and a cooler with ice. You will only need to bring your own drinks, food, and appropriate clothing.

Malorie Johnson5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing Day with Capt. Ben!
Morning 3 Hour on July 17, 2026 • 2 adultsHe definitely knows where the fish go, we were catching fish as soon as we were throwing the reels in. Very helpful throughout the trip with baiting and unhooking the fish ( for those who want to fish without the work of fishing lol) Would recommend him to anyone looking for a local charter in Naples.

Morning 3 Hour on February 20, 2026 • 2 adultsCapt. Ben was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to spots where the fish were biting and we had a blast catching many fish and a nice large Red Drum just before we were done for the day. Wonderful experience overall!
Shauna CoenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBig Redfish!
Morning 3 Hour on July 18, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Ben was so helpful and patient with my two boys. He found great spots in the backwaters. We caught 6 species of fish, saw dolphin, and a manatee. Cuda, a ton of mangrove snapper, a lot of nice sized snook, jack, catfish, and the best was the big redfish!

We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water with captain Ben. I hooked and landed an 80 lb Tarpon, which as a complete novice I attribute solely to Ben's ability to coach me through the process. He provided me with the necessary equipment and advice to bring it in, keeping things low stress despite the size and aggressiveness of the fish I had on the line. Highly recommend this charter whether you're experienced or totally new to fishing.
Thank you for the stellar review!
