Captain Santi has been a fishing guide in naples for the past 10 years specialize in inshore and nearshore using live and artificial baits
all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Snook, Snapper, Tarpon, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, and Grouper, depending on the season and conditions of the day.

The captains' goal is to provide a safe and comfortable experience for everyone. As a family-owned company, they are also bilingual in English and Spanish and want to make sure every guest feels welcomed and included.

You'll be fishing from a 22' seacraft boat with enough room for up to 4 anglers. It also includes an ice box and a wireless trolling motor. All the necessary fishing gear is provided with the price of your trip. As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain, so you don't have to worry about it.

You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip, and there will be a crew member on board to help you with anything you need. All trips will include a fuel surcharge of $100-150 depending on trip length and amount of gas spent. This fuel surcharge will not be factored into your total until the end of your trip. As well as a credit card processing fee if you choose to pay with card. Tips are always appreciated but never required. You'll find free drinks on the boat, and you're welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.

Captain Mitch made it a trip that my kids will remember forever

3/4 Day Trip (AM) on March 24, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 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.

One for the books!

3/4 Day Trip (PM) on April 21, 2026 • 2 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, 2026 • 2 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.

Caught Fish All Day!

Half Day Trip (3-7PM) on March 20, 2026 • 3 adults

Captain Mitch put us on the right spots in the water consistently all day long! We caught a good mix of Sheepshead, Scup, and Snapper, along with occasional nuisance of some Hardhead Catfish. Mitch was very attentive and was always nearby to keep our rods loaded with bait. My only complaint was the Snook that got away but I’ll be back to get him! Can’t recommend this charter enough!

Greatest Trip we have ever had!

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 21, 2026 • 2 adults

this was the most fun trip we have ever done!  skyler and Arbor were great!  so positive and had us on fish immediately!  we caught some monsters!  No doubt we will be using them again, one of the top highlights of our trio to Naples!
Whatever your level of fishing, our level was minimal, they will have you on fish and keep the rods in the water
