Kids Time Fishing runs angling trips out of Naples and offers to educate young people about what the local fishery is all about for future generations.

This trip is not just about catching fish, you are likely to see many of the exotic bird species of our area, the elusive west indie manatee, dolphins, sea turtles, and more. We can also extend the trip to include a stop at one of the barrier islands to swim, relax on ‘beach time" and do some shelling.

Port of the Islands Charters aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let them know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning. You’re looking at 2.5-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Snook, Snapper, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead, depending on the weather and time of year.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 24’ Hurricane boat that can safely and comfortably take up to 6 anglers. All rods, reels, bait, and tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing and making memories.

As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain so you don’t have to worry about it. These trips are catch and release, so expect to return anything you catch back to the water to fight another day and breed future stock.

The boat will be supplied with bottled water for your hydration, you are welcome to bring children & adult beverages and snacks but, please no hard alcohol.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re most welcome to bring your kids, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and all family on for a fun fishing adventure as spectators and photographers.

Book your trip now and show your kids a great time with Kids Time Fishing.

I’m Captain Billy and I guarantee fun and education for all young ones on my boat. Let’s go learn some important things about protecting the future of our environment and have some fun doing it!

Awesome day with Captain Billy
Island fishing/shelling AM - 12:00 PM on February 18, 20263 adults2 children
Our family of five, including 11 and 9 year olds,had a glorious day fishing, shelling and observing the natural beauty along the gulf coast. Captain Billy and Terri couldn’t have been nicer to our children. They were patient and helpful with the kids showing them how to cast and reel in fish. Thanks again Captain Billy and Terri.

Island fishing/shelling AM on February 13, 20262 adults4 children
We had wonderful time fishing and shelling on the island. Our kids especially enjoyed the dolphins swimming feet away from the boat in our wake. Our 10, 8, 6 and 4 yr old children all were able to enjoy the trip. I highly recommend the trip out with Billy. We really appreciated his kindness is working with kids.

2.5 Hour Kids Time Fishing on July 21, 20252 adults2 children
I can’t say enough good things about captain Billy and our fishing trip! I’m an avid fisherman and my two boys (2 and 4 years old) are both getting to the age where they also want to participate but still need a lot of oversight. Our trip with Captain Billy (and his grandson Justin) was the perfect first charter for our boys. It was a pleasant ride to our fishing spot, where we saw alligators, birds, and tarpon rolling. When we got to the spot we were fishing, it was a constant bite. Captain Billy and Justin were so kind and patient with our boys. We caught snook, redfish, mangrove snapper, and a few catfish, and our boys loved every second of it. It takes a special person to lead a charter with little kids and Captain Billy was the perfect person for it! Thanks so much for all of the memories, our boys can’t stop talking about it! When we come back to visit Naples, we’ll most certainly be back!

Amazing Family Fishing and Shelling Trip with Captain Billy!
Island fishing/shelling AM on April 24, 20253 adults2 children
We had a fantastic fishing and shelling trip with Captain Billy! He and his first mate were knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and extremely accommodating. They made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable, especially for our 3-year-old daughter. They went out of their way to show her the fun of fishing, helping her catch fish and pointing out all kinds of wildlife along the way. We caught a bunch of fish, found some amazing sea shells, and made memories that we’ll treasure. I highly recommend Captain Billy for families and anyone looking for a fun, professional, and memorable day on the water!

2.5 Hour Kids Time Fishing on March 26, 20252 adults4 children
Capt. Billy was awesome with our four kids. From the moment the trip started, Capt. Billy was patient, thoughtful, and made our fishing charter full of great memories. Even as someone who doesn't fish (but whose kids have enjoyed it on a lake back home), the experience of fishing around the Gulf canals will be a family memory for a long time. Everyone caught multiple fish, Capt. Billy was super attentive and helped get us into a good flow of baiting hooks, helping cast, and stopping for pictures after a catch. While I didn't know what to expect going in (as having four kids 10 & under on a boat is unpredictable), the smiles and excitement of everyone afterward made it a great outing. Everyone said give Capt. Billy 10 stars!
