I took our two boys fishing with Captain RJ during our most recent visit to Naples, and he was fantastic. We caught a bunch of fish…from catfish to whiting to snapper to Goliath grouper and more!  RJ loves his trade, and it shows. He does everything possible to put you onto fish and make your experience fun and memorable.  We highly recommend Capt RJ with Gulf Shore Charters!!

There’s not a fisherman in our family, but Captain RJ sure made us feel like we were! We had a fantastic time on the water. He’s a great guy, on a great boat. Highly recommend!

We scheduled with Captian R.J. the accommodation was above and beyond especially with me bookomg last min. As luck would have it there was a cold front that pushed through and from my experiences fishing up North it’s a shut down as far as the bite. However Capt. R.J. put us on fish including a bonnet shark, red fish and everything in-between. We had dolphins literally come rite up to the boat and even hit our anchor line wanting capt to pull up and leave so they could play I’m our wake. The whole experience was well worth it time, money. He did everything he could to put my boys on fish and delivered. Definitely a great captain with tons of experience and knowledge of FL waters. Down to earth guy who treated us like family as opposed just customers. If we are in the area again I’ll Definitely book again with captian R.J. 5 🌟 all day!!!

Captain RJ was outstanding! He was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable, and had great communication with us before the fishing trip began. During our trip, he visited many different fishing spots to make sure that we were not only catching fish but a variety of fish. We caught a lot of fish, even a small shark called a Bonnethead (that resembles a Hammerhead)! Captain RJ taught us novice fishermen (my husband and three teenagers) proper fishing technique, and worked hard to bait everyone’s hooks and aid in releasing the fish. He even kept an eye out for dolphins and got us up close for photos when we spotted them. The fishing trip with Captain RJ was the highlight of our Naples visit; don’t hesitate to book!

Captain RJ was great!  He did a fantastic job moving around to where the fish were biting.  He did a great job coaching my son and daughter as well.  I asked if we could try to catch a shark while we fished for dinner and my son got to fight with a huge shark for awhile before he spit out the hook.  We all caught a bunch of fish but RJ kept trying for another shark and we stayed fishing past our scheduled time and sure enough my daughter ended up feeling in a nice 5’ hammerhead!!!  RJ never stopped working for fish and kept the live bait on our hooks.  Plus he was a pleasure to talk with and fish with.  Will definitely give him a call next year when we are back in town!
