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.

He 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.
Thank you gor the review, Malorie!
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!
Had a really fun fishing day. Captain was great with our 8 year old grandson. Grandpa and dad had fun too! Caught lots of fish.
Thanks for the review!
Two of us had a short 3 hour trip with Captain Ben. We caught a variety of species with one keeper sheephead. Captain Ben was knowledgeable, conversational, personable, attentive to our needs. He is my choice for another charter of 4-6 hours.
Thanks for the great review Steve!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I was born and raised in Naples, FL, and have been exploring and fishing the backwaters since I could hold a fishing rod. My father has also been a full-time fishing guide in Naples for almost 40 years. In a way, you can say I was 'born into the business'.
