Mangrove Explorers
Reel in the Fun with Mangrove Explorers!
If you're planning to fish in the Marco Island/Naples area, stop scrolling—you've found your captain! With Captain Ryan at the helm, you're in expert hands (and possibly on your way to some legendary fish stories).
Depending on the season, you might tangle with Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, and more. Basically, if it swims and puts up a fight, we're after it!
On these trips, you'll get to try your hand at spinning or casting a popping cork, using a mix of light and heavy tackle. If you've never done it before—don't worry, we'll teach you (and make you look good doing it).
Bringing the family? Fantastic! Kids are more than welcome. Just make sure they wear a life vest (check ahead for the right size), and pro tip: bring snacks. A well-fed crew is a happy crew.
Your ride for the day is a 23' Hurricane Center Console Deck boat, ready to comfortably fit up to 4 passengers. And yes, there's a toilet on board, because we like to keep things civilized—especially for the ladies.
We provide rods, reels, tackle, and lures, plus live shrimp (when available) or frozen shrimp (when the live ones are feeling uncooperative). No need to worry about a fishing license—we've got you covered. Just show up, cast a line, and get ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may need to be released due to regulations—Captain Ryan will keep you informed.
What to bring? Polarized sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). We'll have some drinks on board, but feel free to bring your own (just run it by the captain first). Alcohol is totally fine in moderation, but let's leave the hard liquor and glass bottles on dry land.
Now, fish might sometimes slip away—but a great day on the water? Never. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip with Mangrove Explorers and let's Slay the Day!

We had an amazing fishing trip in Naples with Captain Ryan! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he took great care of me and my family and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a fantastic time. The fishing was excellent – we caught a lot of fish and had action throughout the trip. One of the highlights was spending time cruising alongside dolphins, which made the experience even more special for the whole family. Captain Ryan is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He worked hard to put us on fish and made sure we had a memorable day on the water. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter in Naples, I highly recommend Captain Ryan. We would book with him again anytime. Awesome guy, awesome trip, and unforgettable memories. Five stars!
Hands down one of the best family experiences we’ve had! Our guide was beyond friendly, incredibly patient with our kids. He worked nonstop chasing fish. On top of that, he shared amazing stories and history about the area and taught us so much about the local wildlife,it added SO much more to the trip than we expected. His knowledge and passion really shine. Highly, highly recommend-especially for families with kids!

(4 hours morning trip). Nice, comfortable boat, beautiful scenery, Capt. Ryan knew a ton of local history and put us on a ton of fish! Would book with him again in a heartbeat!
Captain Ryan was great! So good with my son to get him catching some fish and entertaining my daughter who quit fishing after her first one.
Our only opportunity to fish fell at a difficult time with respect to tides and moon phase. Yet we caught fish learned a great deal about the history of the area and had a totally enjoyable day on the water.
