Looking to go fishing in the Naples, Marco Island, or Bonita Springs area? That's exactly what Watch Out Fishing Charters is here for. With countless hours logged on these tides, Captain Matthew knows these waters inside and out and is ready to put you on the fish.

Depending on the season, you may target Amberjack, Barracuda, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Gag Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Warsaw Grouper, Almaco Jack, African Pompano, Bull Sharks, and more. Fishing methods may include spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or specialized offshore techniques, making this trip ideal for anglers of all experience levels.

Your trip takes place aboard a 34' Freeman catamaran, a luxury charter fishing vessel built for speed, comfort, and performance. The catamaran-style hull handles waves better than traditional boats, delivering a smoother, faster, and more stable ride. Its impressive speed cuts travel time nearly in half, giving you more time fishing and less time riding.

The boat comfortably accommodates up to 6 passengers and is equipped with top-tier electronics, outriggers, and high-end fishing gear, plus a private onboard toilet for convenience. All rods, reels, tackle, and live bait are included. A First Mate is on board to assist—10–20% gratuity is customary.

No fishing license is required. Just bring non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation (no hard liquor or glass bottles).

Fish come and go—but a great day on the water shouldn't. Book your luxury experience with Watch Out Fishing Charters today
