Excited to go fishing in Naples? That’s what Phillip Pica Charters is here for! Capt Phil Pica has been fishing the waters from Boca Grande to the Florida Keys for 40 years, and his mission is to give his clients the most productive and enjoyable day on the water possible. He really knows what he’s doing!

These waters are known for Cobia, Gag Grouper, Permit, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Snook, Tarpon, and more. You’ll target your catch by spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 30’ Offshore sport fishing with room for 5 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. Kids are welcome on board.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Ask, and your captain can tell you more.

Don’t forget to bring snacks, a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be a cooler with ice and bottled water for you, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Phillip Pica Charters is just a click away.

I started running charters in the 1980s. The feeling it gave me showing people all our area has to offer was addictive, and knowing I could provide anglers with memories they would have for a lifetime got me hooked! The look on someone’s face after catching their first Tarpon or Permit is priceless!
