Best places to fish in Naples

31 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Naples sits at the edge of Southwest Florida's finest backcountry, with charters running from city ramps into the Ten Thousand Islands and out through Gordon Pass. Inshore captains pole the mangrove shorelines and oyster bars for snook, redfish and speckled trout, and the passes and beaches light up with tarpon in late spring and early summer. Head offshore into the Gulf and the target switches to grouper, snapper and kingfish over rock and ledges. Marco Island fishing is just to the south and works the same waters. Backcountry and nearshore trips are the mainstay here and suit all skill levels; offshore bottom trips mean a longer run for keeper grouper. Winter fishes well in the protected backcountry when fronts push through. Confirm the boat, trip length and price before booking. Operators below are ranked by Google review volume and rating.
