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!

Island fishing/shelling AM on April 24, 2025
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 (AM) on March 26, 2025
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!

2.5 Hour Kids Time Fishing (AM) on June 4, 2025
The telltale sign of a great time is when your children ask repeated to go again immediately after the experience which mine have done for two days straight now. Captain Billy and first mate Justin were calm, cool, and collected. Their demeanor was perfect for little kids. My sons (6 and 4) listened to their instructions and caught a ton of fish. By the end of the trip my oldest was baiting the live shrimp, casting and catching by himself. Nothing but smiles from ear to ear. We cannot wait to book our next adventure.

We did two trips with Billy because we LOVED the first trip soooo much! He taught my daughter to cast and she loves it! He took us shelling and we got to see dolphins, manatees and even got to touch some horseshoe crabs! So fun we booked the whole day and could have done some more! Billy fished with my daughter while I got a nice break in the shade on the boat and got to take pictures. He is absolutely amazing and full service! He is not just a guy driving a boat for you. This trip is addicting! You will want to come back again and again.
