About Your Trip

Join Captain Alec for an unforgettable 4- or 6-hour nearshore fishing trip off the coast of Naples, Florida. These trips are perfect for anglers of all skill levels—whether you're introducing the kids to their first offshore-style fishing experience or chasing bigger fish closer to shore without committing to a full-day charter.

The 4-hour option is best suited for families and beginners, offering a fun and approachable way to explore the Gulf’s artificial reefs and wrecks
just 2 to 18 miles offshore. You'll target a mix of action-packed species like mangrove snapper, Goliath grouper, great barracuda, and seasonal catches like cobia and permit. If conditions or preferences call for calmer water, back bay fishing is available upon request.

The 6-hour trip is designed for anglers who want more time on the water and the opportunity to hook into some of Florida’s toughest nearshore sportfish. You’ll fish over productive reefs and wrecks, often using live bait to draw in species like amberjack, gag grouper, and large barracuda. While you may catch fish to bring home, this trip leans more toward catch-and-release battles with powerful gamefish.

Captain Alec uses a variety of techniques depending on conditions and target species, including bottom fishing, light and heavy tackle, trolling, spinning, and jigging. All rods, reels, tackle, bait, licenses, snacks, and drinks are included—just bring your sun protection, a camera, and a great attitude.

You'll fish aboard a high-performance 39’ FrontRunner center console equipped with cutting-edge Garmin electronics, a SeaKeeper 3 stabilization system to reduce boat roll and seasickness, and a full suite of creature comforts. These include plush seating, a private head, microwave, bean bags, and even Starlink WiFi so you can stay connected offshore.

Whether you're after family fun or fierce nearshore action, Captain Alec is ready to deliver a top-tier Gulf Coast fishing experience with expert guidance, high-end gear, and a passion for putting anglers on fish.
