Blind Date Charters – Naples - Marco Island
Explore the gorgeous fish-packed waters of southwest Florida and make memories offshore with Blind Date Charters! Captain Tom Katz will meet you in Naples and take you on a trip to the area’s nearshore and offshore grounds along with productive reefs and hidden wrecks. He’s fished the waters of the Gulf of Mexico his whole life and loves sharing his fishing passion with others. Pick your day and join him for an adventure you won’t soon forget!
The boat you’ll be using on your trip is a 32’ Sportsman center console that runs on twin 300 HP Yamaha engines and can fit up to 6 anglers. It uses full-featured technology for navigation, a wireless trolling motor for making less noise, and features a portable toilet. There’s an ice-box to store your catch and you’ll also have the help of a first mate.
The productive waters you’ll be fishing allow you to chase many prized species of Snapper and Grouper, African Pompano, Cobia, King Mackerel, as well as Spanish Mackerel. Using heavy and light tackle, you’ll catch them by bottom, deep sea, and drift fishing as well as trolling, spinning, and jigging. You’re free to bring kids aboard as well as to take your catch home.
Capt. Tom supplies all the fishing tackle, lures, bait, licenses, drinks, as well as a catch cleaning service. Bring nothing but the food of your choice before you start the trip, before you sit back, relax and enjoy Florida’s charming waters and have fun catching fish with Blind Date Charters!
