Based out of Naples, Captain For Hire is your ticket to a memorable time on the water. Capt. David is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it.

Depending on your target species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, popping, or spinning.  As part of Capt. David’s 4-hour trips, you can target species like Snook, Redfish, Cobia, Spotted Seatrout, and Black Drum, based on the current season and weather conditions.

Your boat for the day will be a 28’ Contender that fits up to 6 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with a toilet, ice box, and a wireless trolling motor. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can. The captain will also supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.

Book your trip now and enjoy a fun day exploring Naples with Captain For Hire!
