Regardless of your fishing experience, Captain Brandon will do his best to help you catch your fish of a lifetime. He’s been guiding other people around Naples and the 10,000 Islands area for over 20 years. With that amount of knowledge and experience of a 3rd generation fisherman by your side, any beginner is bound to become an angler by the end of the day.

You’ll be fishing on a 26’ Sea Chaser that accommodates up to 4 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and features all necessary fishing equipment you’ll need for the day. There’s enough room to walk around and relax on the cushion seats, so you’re looking for a comfortable day on the water, even if you’re not used to being around boats.

The inshore waters and backcountry spots of the area offer lots of species to target, with the most common ones being Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tripletail, Tarpon, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and more. You can keep the catch after the trip and the captain will clean and fillet it for you free of charge.

All fishing equipment, licenses, and cold drinks are included in the price. You only need to pack some snacks and sun protection.

Reel Local Fishing Charters guarantees a good time on the water. Come join Capt. Brandon and see what’s biting. Fish on!

Great fishing experience

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 2025 • 2 adults

We had a great time on our half-day fishing charter with Captain Stearns. He was clearly very knowledgeable about the area and where to fish, selecting a couple of choice spots where they were biting. Since neither myself or my son had fished in a while, Captain Stearns patiently guided us on how and where to cast, and helped to bring on board the fish we did catch (which included a large black drum). He was very easygoing and made our trip a lot of fun. Having him fillet our catch after returning to the dock was a nice bonus. Can’t wait to go fishing with Captain Stearns again!

Excellent Fishing Trip with a Top-Notch Captain

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 16, 2025 • 3 adults

Had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Brandon! Three generations, my dad, my son, and I all had a blast. We caught snook, snapper, and a bunch of other fish throughout the day. Captain Brandon was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone had a great time, no matter their skill level. You can tell he really knows the area and puts in the effort to make the trip memorable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, successful day on the water!

Awesome Trip

Full Day Trip on July 1, 2025 • 4 adults

Had an awesome inshore fishing trip with Real Local Fishing Charters. Solo was our guide, and he was fantastic—super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and really made the whole experience fun and relaxed. He knew where to find the fish and kept things running smoothly the entire trip. Can’t recommend him and the company enough if you’re looking for a great day on the water with a local who knows his stuff.
