About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Sean and get ready for a spectacular fishing trip out of Naples, FL! The inner coastal and nears coastal waters up to 9 miles out around Naples are filled with great sportfishing species, including Florida Pompano, Goliath Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Sheepshead, Snook, Trout, Tripletail, and even the "Silver Kings," Tarpon. Florida is famous for its diversity of species, and with so many in the area, this trip should be a blast!

Your half-day trip will be spent aboard a 22' Pathfinder bay boat powered by a 250-HP Yamaha engine. The vessel will provide a smooth ride through the inshore waters on your way out to deeper water and the reefs and structure where all these fish congregate. Once you're out there, drop some lines down and go after fish such as Grouper, Snapper, and Tripletail! This trip requires no experience and will be a bucket of fun for all involved.

Captain Sean provides all the rods, reels, bait, and tackle you need to hook a monster. He has both heavy and light tackle for you, depending on what species you want to go for. All you need to bring is food, snacks, sun protection, and appropriate clothing. Get ready for an action-packed adventure!

I spent some time booking right trip for #60 fishing trip for husband. Your place is close to our home and liked boat, captain, reviews etc. then feel I was bait and switched to this other boat with rude owner demanding cash payment the night before the trip. I live in Illinois and he doesn't do zelle. He was a complete ass kept calling me back, all the info you provided did not transfer to him, he didn't like how much you deducted blah blah blah. The trip took out of almost bonita far from our home. Steve said the guide Sean was OK guy but overall very displeased with this. The guy you gave trip to was totally bashing captain experiences whole time I was talking to him. and told me to never use you again, not that I would think of using him either Sorry you asked??

Sean is a great guy, but we didn’t catch anything. We paid for a fishing charter and got skunked.
