We had a great time on our half-day fishing charter with Captain Stearns. He was clearly very knowledgeable about the area and where to fish, selecting a couple of choice spots where they were biting. Since neither myself or my son had fished in a while, Captain Stearns patiently guided us on how and where to cast, and helped to bring on board the fish we did catch (which included a large black drum). He was very easygoing and made our trip a lot of fun. Having him fillet our catch after returning... More

Had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Brandon! Three generations, my dad, my son, and I all had a blast. We caught snook, snapper, and a bunch of other fish throughout the day. Captain Brandon was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone had a great time, no matter their skill level. You can tell he really knows the area and puts in the effort to make the trip memorable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, successful day on the water!

Captain Brandon was fantastic with our 11 yr old son & 13 yr old daughter. We recently moved to Naples and our son is obsessed with fishing, but we don’t know much.

Had an awesome inshore fishing trip with Real Local Fishing Charters. Solo was our guide, and he was fantastic—super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and really made the whole experience fun and relaxed. He knew where to find the fish and kept things running smoothly the entire trip. Can’t recommend him and the company enough if you’re looking for a great day on the water with a local who knows his stuff.

Everything about the trip was 5 stars. The scenery was amazing, Captain Brandon was super flexible and will do his best to make you happy on your day. Most important is that we had tight lines all morning and caught many fish of different species. Cap filleted them for us at the dock and told us how to cook them for the most amazing fresh fish tacos. YUMM. If anyone wants to have fun out on the boat Captain Brandon does a great job!
