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.

Excellent charter, highly recommend
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 1, 20262 adults
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.

Great day of fishing!
Morning 3 Hour on July 10, 20251 adult2 children
First time doing a fishing charter and it was a great experience! Captain Ben was very knowledgeable and we were able to catch a lot of fish! Snapper, catfish and even barracudas! Kids were super excited about that! I also appreciated all the information that he provided me before booking this charter, especially where the charter began. That was helpful in planning! Thanks for a great day Captain Ben! Hopefully we can book another charter when we visit Naples again!

My son and I really enjoyed our trip woth Captain Ben and would highly recommend this trip. Caught a snook and lots of fairly decent sized Jack fish. Nice easy trip and lots of fun. Also saw a dolphin and lots of heron, eagle, osprey, and some other wildlife including a wild boar and swimming racoons.

Half Day Trip (AM) on January 20, 20263 adults
Ben was an outstanding guide. A cold front came in the day before our trip with Ben. We figured fishing would be tough and Ben went above and beyond to get us on fish. We caught multiple species and had a blast. We will definitely rebook with Ben and would recommend to anybody.
Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
Mangrove Snapper
