What To Expect

Step aboard the M/V Naples Explorer for a 4-hour nearshore fishing trip designed for guests who want to get offshore without going too far out or spending a full day on the water.

Departing from Tin City, this trip fishes waters approximately 3 to 9 miles offshore, making it a great option for guests who want to get out into the Gulf without committing to a full-day charter. Fishing areas may include reefs, ledges, and shipwrecks near the coast, where guests can target species such as lane snapper, silver snapper, porgies, and other nearshore favorites. With their experienced captains leading the way, you’ll bottom fish for a variety of local favorites.

Whether you’re new to Gulf fishing or simply looking for a fun day on the water, this trip offers a relaxed and enjoyable experience for all skill levels. They provide everything you need for a great day on the water: rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses are all included. If you land a keeper, our crew will clean, fillet, and put it on ice so it’s ready to take home. Complimentary bottled water is provided on board, and guests are welcome to bring any additional food or drinks (alcohol permitted).

Ideal For: Families, beginners, casual anglers, and anyone looking for a shorter offshore experience with beautiful views of the Naples coastline.
