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!
