The Best Fishing Charters in Naples

Your Perfect Day on the Water Starts Here 219FS Key West in SWFL Marco Island

Our family was a mix of ages from 2 to 65+. Manny's well maintained Key West boat kept us happy for 10 days straight. We had ignorant issues along the way, and Manny would respond within 5 minutes every time we had a question. He was so kind as we would troubleshoot the issue; our favorite was when we hadn't attached the kill switch and the boat wouldn't start. What was such a silly blunder was met with kindness and charm. The value that is not advertised is all the activities you can do with up to 8 people, such as going dolphin watching which commercially available at about $69-$79 a person for 3 hours. While it might not be in everyone's comfort zone to pilot a boat, we enjoyed dolphins literally rubbing the boat and playing in our wake. I personally had a dolphin punch my phone with its nose. You don't get that on those tours. Fishing is $450-$1250 per 4 hours. We fished approximately 60-80 hours, we went when we wanted, where we wanted and how we wanted. We went shelling on several islands that can only be reached by having a boat. We have returned with the best shells of our lives, and came across gopher tortoises in the process. How amazing it was for my teenage son to find an endangered animal on his own before returning to our group to share their location. We highly suggest learning about throttle control because, once we did, this boat sipped fuel, allowing us to hit offshore reefs on a budget, running at about 25mph, costing $18-$30 round trip. Returning the boat was again a breeze. We appreciated it so much we really tried to give it a proper wash, and he laughed saying we did great but it always goes to the pressure washer before the next group. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Manny's equipment and services and hope this review helps you make the choice to go all in on the adventures a boat can provide. Because of this experience, my wife has fully approved my dream of getting our own, and that alone is priceless.

Smooth Everglades 243 Bay Boat In Naples

The Boat Guys absolutely made our Marco Island trip the best it could have been. We reached out on short notice, and they still made the boat delivery quick, easy, and completely stress-free. The boat was ready to go, and their local knowledge was incredibly helpful. They gave us great insight into the surrounding waters, routes, and destinations, which helped us make the most of our time on the water. Justin was an absolute legend throughout the entire process. He stayed in touch by text, gave us full transparency at all times, and made everything feel easy and well handled from start to finish. Exploring Marco Island by boat was the highlight of the trip, and The Boat Guys played a huge part in that. Professional, friendly, reliable, and clearly experienced — I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting the area and looking to rent a boat. We will definitely use them again.

25ft Robalo Power Boat VIP Adventure in Marco & Surrounding Barrier Islands

Fred is a great captain! He's knowledgeable, patient, and knows the waters well. I was able to book easily online and have all of my questions answered promptly through the app. Fred's boat is clean and very well maintained. It's also nicely stocked with just about anything you need for a great, relaxing day on the water. All we needed to bring were towels, snacks, and our choice of beverages. Throughout the trip, Fred provided local knowledge and insight but certainly wasn't over talkative to disturb the time with our family. The blender might seem like a small addition but it was great to have frozen drinks during a hot summer day while sitting in the water. The food boat didn't make it to us on our tour but a great option was having Fred take us to Snook for a nice lunch. Perfectly timed, peaceful, fun, and relaxing. That's about as good as it gets. Thank you again.

Renting a small boat around Naples and driving it yourself is one thing, riding Fred’s Robalo boat is definitely a next level experience! More confidence, better boat and better navigation! Fred has been a great company! We managed to go behind Marco island and see places where we have never been with much cleaner water than around Naples. The boat is in a great condition well taken care of. Don’t rent for bachelors party or mere debauchering!
