I've been raised in Naples, FL, since I was four years old and have been working on the water my entire adult life. I started off pushing rental jet skis and boats and moved on to working as a deckhand on multi-passenger fishing vessels, both backwater and offshore. Eventually got my 100 Ton Masters License. I've since operated everything from taking boat owners on their own vessels fishing to running yacht charters in the North East. From delivering yachts up and down the East Coast of the US as well as running various charter vessels with anywhere from 6 to 149 passengers. I'm excited to have my charter boat in Naples Bay finally!

    A catching trip!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    This was an amazing charter!!! We were nonstop the whole time. Limited out on the snapper, caught many grunts, pork fish, the trigger fish always showed up. A flounder, red grouper, got to see a gag grouper next to the boat. A few hogfish and a nice hogfish that was a keeper!!! Super exciting adventure. Captain Dean was incredible! Kept us on them the whole trip! Kept us baited and catching the entire time!! His music playlist was spot on!! If you are ready to “ catch” and not just fish, Dean is the man!!

    Mangrove Snapper

    Captain Dean was great. We had 3 kids under 10 years old, and he was very patient and helped everyone along the way. We caught fish which made the trip even better. Definitely would recommened.

What's biting with Flat Bottom Girl Charters in Naples

Hurricanes can potentially disrupt fishing as the weather starts to transition towards the fall. Nearshore, you will find King and Spanish Mackerel biting well, with large Bull Reds also in the cards.
