- 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 10 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.

What a day for us. Captain V is definitely one of the best captain in this area, he is a patient, ardor, knowledgeable and amiable expert. He perfectly navigates us to the right places at the right time, and cooperates us to get the keepers. He will call you earlier to confirm the weather and fishing condition. And he is so kind that he extended the fishing time for us!!! We caught like 60 fish includes 19 keepers (with a delicious flounder) and a nice angel shark in only four hours. He prepared snacks and drinks and tons of good jokes for you! It was an enjoyable day with such awesome captain.

Captain Vince was very knowledgeable about fishing in the area. I never had a captain work as hard as he did to make sure we caught fish. We caught and kept multiple species that were in season and threw back a lot of out of season or under size fish. The fishing action was very lively with almost nonstop hits. I highly recommend Captain Vince for a day on the water.

We had a great day of fishing! Captain Vince put us on the fish and we all had a great time! We caught black drum, sheepshead, speckled trout, snapper and catfish. We had enough keepers (skillfully fileted by Captain Vince) to have a nice fish dinner for the four of us!

We were supposed to do backwater trip did inshore caught trout. We have done several trips in the area that were much better and cheaper. Our trip was supposed to be 4 hrs and it was only 31/2 and the fish were cleaned horribly.

Our family of four had a wonderful half day adventure with our captain, Vincent. We were able to fish in multiple spots with beautiful scenery ,dolphins, numerous species of birds and a manatee. We caught dozens of fish and Vincent was so knowledgeable in all the varieties we caught. One of my favorite moments was when 3 of us were hauling in a fish at the same time. He filleted all of the trout we kept and now we can look forward to a fish fry!

My wife and I had a great trip with Captain Vince today. He is knowledgeable, professional and a terrific fishing coach. We caught lots of snapper and mackerel, and a barracuda. We’d recommend him to anyone who wants a great half day trip. And, we’re already planning our next trip in a few weeks!

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 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!

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!
