3 Hour Trip on March 2, 2026 • 2 adults
We booked with Christina as our first time charter. She put us on fish at every stop. What we failed to catch was “operator” error on our part. But, she kept coaching us and before long we started landing them. By the end of the tour we were wishing we had another few hours on the water.

Top Notch Trip for Snook
2 Hour Trip (AM) on July 30, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children
We had an incredible experience with Artistic Angler Charters! From start to finish, the trip was everything we hoped for and more. We learned how to troll for ladyfish & hooked a few big snook, which was definitely a highlight for the kids, but what made the day stand out for me was the captain’s patience and kindness with my son (9) & nephew (11) . They talked her ear off the entire trip, and she didn’t miss a beat—answering all their questions and teaching us so much about the waters around Naples and the local wildlife. We had adventure, excitement & fish on until the literal last second of the trip, landing a huge snook at the boat ramp with our leftover ladyfish.
The boat was clean and comfortable, and the captain’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the whole experience top-notch. Highly recommend Capt. Christina - we’ll definitely be back since my son and nephew said they don’t want to fish with anyone else now, lol.

Great trip. Weather was not the best, but Christina still managed to get us to some good spots where the fish were biting. We will be returning on our next trip to Florida. Christina (captain) was responsive before the trip and was an excellent guide.

Captain Christina was amazing! My daughter and I had never been fishing in Florida before and we had so much fun! Captain Christina was able to find the fish and keep my 10 year old entertained for 3 hours. She was patient, knowledgable, and super fun to talk to. Big fish energy that we loved! I would recommend Artistic Angler Charters to everyone who wants to fish! We will definitely be back for more fun!!!
