Captain Mitch made it a trip that my kids will remember forever
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on March 24, 20262 adults2 children

Started the morning off with great communication and easily to access. Went out and Captain Mitch was very easy to get along with, hands on, put the kids (11 and 9 years old) first, and was extremely knowledgeable. The trip was easy to enjoy, caught tons of fish of all sorts of species, and ended up with several keepers. As we waited for him to fillet the fish we noticed other charters that went further out or spent more time out with less fish and statements made about less action on the water. Both my boys can not quit talking about the trip and my wife even became more involved and loved the experience. (She is scared of fish and not excited about being out in a boat in the ocean) my wife and kids are already looking forward to the next trip with Captain Mitch.

Reported catch:
Goliath Grouper

One for the books!
3/4 Day Trip (PM) on April 21, 20262 adults

We did a 6-hour charter with Captain Santiago, and it was truly one of the best experiences we could have asked for. From spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees to catching so many fish we didn’t even know the names of(thankfully Santiago did!), every moment was memorable. The highlight was landing our target species the Goliath grouper, not once but twice, all thanks to Santiago’s expert guidance. His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made the entire trip even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back for round two. Thanks again for an incredible trip!

Shark!
Half Day Trip – NIGHT FISHING on April 3, 20262 adults

Santiago is amazing! Very knowledgeable of local waters. Would highly recommend. Patient with kids. He was very diligent to ensure we had a great trip. We caught a small shark as hoped and his equipment is very well kept and maintained. He maintains a positive and uplifting attitude with his clients. He also takes time to explain the process and what fish are feeding on at a particular time/ point of the season. Looking forward to another trip with him at some point in the future. Additionally, he explains local history of Keewaydin Island.

Amazing charter experience!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 4, 20261 adult1 child

Capt Santiago was amazing. Asked what we wanted to do, then produced. Already had the live bait so we waisted no time. He was knowledgeable and you could tell he loves to fish. I was with my 10yr old daughter and she also had an amazing time catching her first Goliath Grouper. We will definitely be back on board woth Capt Santi. Tight lines yall!!!

Great Trip with Son and Further Son In law
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 3, 20264 adults

We had a great time with Captain Santiago. The weather was great and the captain knew the right spots to fish. Every spot we all caught several fish. Even two good size groupers. Would definitely recommend Naples Nearshore Charters if you near Naples area. Captain thank you for everything.
