- Background
- Living near the water in the Canal Zone, we learned how to enjoy everything about the sea. Our uncle showed us how to snorkel, scuba dive, spearfish, and even how to find treasure and old relics underwater. I have lived in Naples, Florida for 28 years, and have been fishing professionally for over 7 years. I became a captain as an excuse to go fishing all the time. I am very passionate about the sea and sea life, and still enjoy it immensely.

Very professional and knowledgeable! We wanted shark and we got shark. The only thing we regret is not spending more time with him catching fish in the beautiful waters.

The weather was too windy to go offshore, but we had a great time in the backwaters. Everyone caught fish, and Captain Vince was great—very helpful and patient. Would recommend!

Our family had a wonderful time with Hemingway Fishing Adventures. Vincent did a spectacular job working with the kids and getting them on fish throughout the day. He handled an unexpected change in the winds well and relocated us to a more friendly setting. We all are looking forward to going out with Vincent again the next time we come to SW Florida. Thanks Vince!

Booked last minute through fishingbooker.com
planed to go out to the gulf but it was cold windy day low and it was only day we could go.
Re thought the plan and stayed in the mangroves
Vince found the fish and whole family had a great time.
Many charters cancelled on this day. We would have if we had another choice but Vince provided a day we will long rememberThanks

We had an amazing day!! Captain Vince was very accommodating and so nice to us three “old ladies!” He showed us everything we needed to know and we caught tons of fish - even some keepers. He was so nice we decided to do it again soon. Such a special day! Unforgettable!!

We had a multi-generational crew, and Captain Vince was accommodating to all needs. He was friendly yet professional, and I have never seen a cleaner boat. Because of our varied crew, we wanted to do a variety of activities, and Captain Vince managed to use our time to let us do it all: fish, explore, skim the waves, enjoy the scenery, eat a picnic lunch, swim and see dolphins, shorebirds, and beautiful mangroves. Hope to do it again soon!

We had 3 fishermen, all with different levels of expertise. And all with different old age maladies. Capt. Vince was patient, knowledgeable, and ready to assist everyone in having a great time. Weather slowed the fishing a little but we all caught our dinner and had a great time. Oh yeh, and we had a free porpoise show alongside the boat.!

Great day with Cpt. Vince, my 16 yr old son and a friend. Perfect weather and a lot of fun on the reef. Lost a few large Gag Groupers when we were too slow but that’s cause we’re rookies! Highly recommend Hemingway fishing tours!

We had a great time with captain Vince Hemingway. He put us right on the fish and we caught a bunch while also catching some sharks and playing with a dolphin. Our next trip with Captain Vince will be in-shore. Ken and Lisa Fulghum

Not too many fish but Captain Vince got an A+ for effort! He tried everything he could to find us a good spot where the fish were! Beautiful day and nice way to celebrate my husbands birthday!

Went to near offshore fishing areas with Captain Vince. Weather was great, slightly overcast and seas were calm. Fished three different spots and caught at least 11 different kinds of fish. Captain Vince gave us good instructions and took care of everything on the boat. Got plenty of fish to eat and fried them up the same day-great tasting! Overall, just an excellent day of fishing with a knowledgeable captain!

This family of four had a great New Years Day fishing! Vincent was friendly and worked hard so we could have a enjoyable time. We’ll definitely look him up again when we return to Naples again next year.
