I can’t say enough good things about captain Billy and our fishing trip!  I’m an avid fisherman and my two boys (2 and 4 years old) are both getting to the age where they also want to participate but still need a lot of oversight.  Our trip with Captain Billy (and his grandson Justin) was the perfect first charter for our boys.  It was a pleasant ride to our fishing spot, where we saw alligators, birds, and tarpon rolling. When we got to the spot we were fishing, it was a constant bite.  Captain Billy and Justin were so kind and patient with our boys. We caught snook, redfish, mangrove snapper, and a few catfish, and our boys loved every second of it.  It takes a special person to lead a charter with little kids and Captain Billy was the perfect person for it!  Thanks so much for all of the memories, our boys can’t stop talking about it!  When we come back to visit Naples, we’ll most certainly be back!

We had a fantastic fishing and shelling trip with Captain Billy! He and his first mate were knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and extremely accommodating. They made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable, especially for our 3-year-old daughter. They went out of their way to show her the fun of fishing, helping her catch fish and pointing out all kinds of wildlife along the way. We caught a bunch of fish, found some amazing sea shells, and made memories that we’ll treasure. I highly recommend Captain Billy for families and anyone looking for a fun, professional, and memorable day on the water!

Capt. Billy was awesome with our four kids.  From the moment the trip started, Capt. Billy was patient, thoughtful, and made our fishing charter full of great memories.  Even as someone who doesn’t fish (but whose kids have enjoyed it on a lake back home), the experience of fishing around the Gulf canals will be a family memory for a long time.  Everyone caught multiple fish, Capt. Billy was super attentive and helped get us into a good flow of baiting hooks, helping cast, and stopping for pictures after a catch.  While I didn’t know what to expect going in (as having four kids 10 & under on a boat is unpredictable), the smiles and excitement of everyone afterward made it a great outing.  Everyone said give Capt. Billy 10 stars!

Billy and the wife took us and our teenage children (15 and 13 years old) for a 3-hour fishing trip which was one of the best parts of our vacation experience.
They are gracious and fun hosts but also adept at teaching and making the fishing experience meaningful. It was worth every bit of our time and money. We caught a lot of fish and saw dolphins.
We would do it again & highly recommend their service!

We had a great time as a group of college students who have never fished before. First mate Teri was fantastic! Her and Captain Billy were so so patient with us! We wanted to catch fish to eat while camping, and they helped us with finding fish that we could! They really tried their best to help us catch fish. They also provided Great experience, would highly recommend!! Loved it
