Flat Bottom Girl Charters is located in Naples and is ready to give you the best day on Naples Bay. Get a few lines wet and make memories together!

Capt. Dean aims to create a trip that will fit your needs. Fish nearshore artificial reefs and target fish for lunch or dinner, or go backwater fishing. Let him know what you want! Depending on the trip and species, you'll be using techniques like bottom fishing, jigging, occasional trolling, and happy to accommodate either inshore or nearshore fishing (inside 9 miles) for whatever you desire. Inshore fishing generally targeting Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Snook, Redfish, catfish, jack crevalle, pompano. Nearshore trips are targeting Mangrove snapper, lane snapper, Hogfish, gag grouper, Goliath Grouper, Spanish mackerel, Barracuda, and many more. Or simply book a trip to go on a sighsteeing/dolphin tour, shelling, or a run down to marco to get lunch with the family!

Your boat for the day will be a 30' Carolina Skiff that fits up to 6 anglers. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain, so you don't have to worry about it. You can keep anything you catch as long as it's legal.

You'll find free bottled water and ice on the boat for your convenience, but you're always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to and a 65qt yeti cooler will be filled with ice so you don't even need to bring a cooler along just whatever you want to eat or drink besides water. This is a children-friendly charter, so you're welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure. We love taking out families with small children to give them a great experience of fishing and getting on the water.

    A catching trip!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 24, 2026 • 2 adults

    This was an amazing charter!!! We were nonstop the whole time. Limited out on the snapper, caught many grunts, pork fish, the trigger fish always showed up. A flounder, red grouper, got to see a gag grouper next to the boat. A few hogfish and a nice hogfish that was a keeper!!! Super exciting adventure. Captain Dean was incredible! Kept us on them the whole trip! Kept us baited and catching the entire time!! His music playlist was spot on!! If you are ready to “ catch” and not just fish, Dean is the man!!

    Best Captain ever!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 23, 2025 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Dean Murphy was the best we have ever had!!! We have done many charter fishing trips. Captain Dean was friendly and helpful to everyone but especially to the children. He wanted everyone to have a memorable fishing experience, and it was. He was accommodating, asking what we wanted to catch, and took us there. He filleted them for us and bagged them on ice. We caught a lot of fish and enjoyed eating them when we arrived home. I would highly recommend Captain Dean and Flat Bottom Girl!!!

    Great Day on the Water!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 12, 2025 • 1 adult

    I booked a 4-hour trip with Captain Dean on the "Flat Bottom Girl Charter" out of Naples, FL. Captain Dean knew where to go while watching the wind and tide. Non-stop action for 3 1/2 hours. This was a back bay, mangrove trip using live shrimp. We caught speckled trout, sheepshead, 2 kinds of snapper, catfish and several other species. I brought home sheepshead, trout and snapper fillets for dinner. It was the highlight of my week vacation.

    A great experience!

    2 Hour Backwater Fishing Trip on March 26, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had a fantastic 2 hour, backwater fishing charter with Captain Dean! We caught a ton of fish, and one was even a keeper which Captain Dean cleaned and filleted for us to take home to eat. In addition to the fishing it was beautiful ride and we enjoyed looking at all of the fabulous homes along the shore. We even saw dolphins!

    Rod Bender Experience

    2 Hour Backwater Fishing Trip on January 3, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    The 2 hour fishing trip was well worth it. We caught an array of different fish throughout the charter and everyone landed a fish from child to adult. Definitely worth the money. We will be booking a trip next time we are in Naples.

I've been raised in Naples, FL, since I was four years old and have been working on the water my entire adult life. I started off pushing rental jet skis and boats and moved on to working as a deckhand on multi-passenger fishing vessels, both backwater and offshore. Eventually got my 100 Ton Masters License. I've since operated everything from taking boat owners on their own vessels fishing to running yacht charters in the North East. From delivering yachts up and down the East Coast of the US as well as running various charter vessels with anywhere from 6 to 149 passengers. I'm excited to have my charter boat in Naples Bay finally!
