About Your Trip
Explore the Backwaters and Nearshore Reefs of Naples with Captain Steven!
Hop aboard with Captain Steven for a 4-hour inshore and nearcoastal fishing adventure designed for fun, flexibility, and fish-filled action. Whether you're cruising the calm waters of Estero Bay, Little Hickory Bay, Wiggins Pass, or sliding just offshore into the Gulf of Mexico, this trip is a perfect blend of relaxed vibes and exciting bites.
Departing from Naples, this charter is great for anglers
of all experience levels, especially beginners and families. With trip times from 8 AM to 12 PM or 1 PM to 5 PM, you can choose the window that works best for your schedule—and still pack in plenty of rod-bending fun.
Target species range from Snook, Redfish, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout in the backwaters to Cobia, Kingfish, Tripletail, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and even the occasional Shark or Grouper when venturing into nearshore waters. You’ll use a mix of tactics like live bait fishing, artificial lures, topwater, trolling, jigging, and more depending on what’s biting.
You’ll fish from a smooth and stable 23’ catamaran, perfect for skinny backwater spots and nearshore runs alike. The boat comes fully loaded with rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses, so you don’t need to bring anything but your sun gear and a good attitude. A YETI cooler with ice is provided to keep your drinks and snacks chilled, and Bluetooth music is welcome on board.
Captain Steven can accommodate up to 4 people and has kids’ life jackets available, making this trip kid-friendly and ideal for small groups looking for a fun, worry-free time on the water. Fish cleaning is included, so you’ll head home with fresh fillets if you’re keeping your catch.
Whether you’re easing into the mangroves or cruising along the coast, this trip is all about enjoying the best of Florida’s waters—easygoing, exciting, and filled with opportunities to make unforgettable memories.
