Artistic Angler Charters welcomes you on a fun and enjoyable fishing experience out of Naples, Florida. Together with Captain Christina Kraus, you’ll have a lovely time exploring the area’s bountiful inshore waters and flats. Captain Christina is a lifelong angler who loves introducing her local fishery to others, so join her aboard and have a fishing experience in Florida you won’t soon forget!

Your boat for the day will be a 22’ Carolina Skiff bay boat that can fit up to 5 guests. It’s powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine and uses modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio electronics to ensure safe and efficient navigation. There’s a livewell to provide you with live bait and on some trips you’ll also have a first mate by your side to give you any needed help.

Also available for trips is our 16’ Scout boat, seating 3, and touting a new 90 HP Mercury outboard. Both vessels are perfect for Naples fishing.

You and your crew will be fishing inshore grounds, mangroves, and Naples-10,000 Islands depending on your plans with Capt. Christina. You’ll use spinning rods with light tackle in order to target Snook, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, and Redfish. You’re free to keep the fish you catch if you want to, and the crew will gladly clean and bag it for you free of charge. Also, kids are welcome to come aboard so you can have a beautiful family adventure on the sea.

Captain Christina takes care of all the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, water, as well as fishing licenses. Just bring any food you like and you’ll be all set for the fishing fun.

Artistic Angler Charters is waiting for you, hop aboard and make memories fishing in Florida!
