Based out of Naples, Born 2 Boogie Fishing Charters is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Capt. Edwin will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Tarpon, King Mackerel, Permit, Tripletail, Grouper, and Spotted Seatrout, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your adventure begins on board a 24' Triton LTS boat that's powered by a Mercury 300 HP Verado. She has a hard top for shade so you can take a break from the heat of the sun. There's plenty of space on board for up to 5 guests, while 4 people can fish at the same time. The boat is equipped with Lowrance navigational electronics and modern safety gear. You'll also find two Yeti coolers to store anything that needs to be kept cold. Make your own playlist and connect to Bluetooth stereo.

All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price, as well as complimentary bottled water, and two bags of ice. Be sure to bring small snacks, towels, and whatever you're drinking. Capt'n Edwin welcomes anglers of all ages so bring the whole family along.

    July fishing trip

    Hook 'em for Lunch on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an amazing time on our fishing trip! The captain was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful from start to finish. He made sure everyone was comfortable, answered all of our questions, and worked hard to get us on the fish. We caught so many fish throughout the trip, and the highlights were landing a nurse shark and an impressive Goliath grouper! It was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our vacation. If you’re looking for a fun, exciting, and memorable fishing charter with a captain who truly cares about his guests having a great time, I highly recommend booking this trip. We can’t wait to come back!

    …catch ’em and cook ’em — and that’s exactly what we did!

    Hook 'em for Dinner on July 31, 2026 • 4 adults

    We spent a great half-day targeting snapper with Captain Edwin. He was friendly, patient, and respectful the entire time, and clearly loves teaching. With his years of local experience he showed us solid techniques that made a real difference! We kept 10 snappers, and Edwin cleaned every one of them so we could enjoy a fresh dinner that night. A smooth, enjoyable trip with a true local expert. Great experience, we will get back for the upcoming new season!

    A beautiful day of fishing

    3 Hour Trip on March 20, 2026 • 4 adults

    Had a great day fishing the mangroves and waterways with Captain Edwin. He did a great job with less experienced anglers, helping learn to live bait, cast, and navigate a true bite vs. a snag. Edwin was super flexible with our timing, duration, and our goals. Our group of four (2 x dad and sons) had a great time and look forward to our next time out - would charter with Captain Edwin again!

    Great Experience with a Great Captain

    Hook 'em for Dinner on July 9, 2025 • 2 adults

    My 13 yr old son and I, (both avid fisherman) had an amazing day out on the waters surrounding Marco Island with Captain Edwin. He knows the top fishing spots and locked us onto fish immediately. We had the chance to use a variety of methods for various species of fish and he was kind enough to offer advice as needed (different techniques than our home waters). Would highly recommend this experience and Captain Edwin to anyone (novice to experienced) if you're looking for a great adventure on the water.

    Spectacular fishing trip!

    I'll Be your Capt'n on November 1, 2024 • 5 adults

    Our fishing trip was an unforgettable experience, thanks largely to Captain Edwin. His expertise and attentiveness made all the difference, he was not only patient but genuinely invested in our success throughout the entire eight hours. The boat was stunning and comfortable, enhancing our time on the water. We struck gold finding Born 2 Boogie; Captain Edwin is a true gem in the industry. It’s rare to encounter someone so dedicated and knowledgeable. You just don’t find captains like this anymore. I can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone looking to enjoy a fun-filled day of fishing. I’m already counting down the days until I can book again next year!

awesome experience
Hook 'em for Lunch on June 16, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

captain was very knowledgeable, within minutes he had my 12 year old son casting perfectly! caught a few and had a great time. memories were made. I highly recommend. Even if you have never fished before, he will have tou catching fish in no time. Dont bring a cooler on the boat with you because there isnt room but have one in your car for and fish you catch.

Great morning with Born 2 Boogie Fishing Charters!
Hook 'em for Lunch on March 31, 2026 • 4 adults

Had a great morning on the water with Captain Edwin! We caught 5 different species of fish and everybody caught something. He is very knowledgeable of the area, did a great job of keeping us fishing and was a great guy to have a conversation with while we were on the water. We would highly recommend Born 2 Boogie and hope we can get back to fish with him again next year!
