Naples Offshore Fishing CHARTERS
Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, And More For Anglers Of All Abilities.
Offshore fishing from Naples, FL, is a gateway to the deep, blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, offering anglers an easy experience targeting a wide variety of species. The thrill of running offshore, cutting through glassy seas at sunrise, with dolphins dancing in the boat’s wake, sets the stage for an unforgettable day on the water. Naples' offshore waters provide world-class fishing opportunities, whether you’re dropping baits for grouper over structure, chumming up schools of hungry snapper, or scanning the horizon for cobia cruising just below the surface.
The offshore fishing season in Naples changes with the shifting conditions of the Gulf. Winter and early spring bring prime opportunities for gag grouper, as cooler waters push them closer to shore, while red grouper remain a year-round target in deeper waters. Snapper fishing heats up from spring through summer, particularly during the highly anticipated American red snapper season. Cobia make their appearances in spring and fall, migrating through the area and providing exciting sight-fishing opportunities. Beyond these prime species, offshore anglers can encounter permit, kingfish, amberjack, tuna, and even the occasional sailfish, depending on the time of year and distance traveled offshore.
Every trip offshore from Naples is a mix of strategy, patience, and adrenaline. The anticipation builds as lines are dropped. Whether it's the powerful dive of a big grouper, the stubborn pull of a snapper, or the long, sustained run of a cobia, the action offshore is never dull. And at the end of the day, with some fresh fish, you’ll already be dreaming of the next Naples offshore fishing charter.
GROUPER
Grouper fishing in the offshore waters of SW Florida, is a test of both strength and strategy, drawing anglers from all over the world who seek the thrill of battling one of the Gulf's hardest-fighting and best eating fish.
SnAPPER
Unlike the brute force tactics required for grouper, snapper fishing is a game of finesse—light leaders, stealthy presentations, and just the right bait are necessary to fool these sharp-eyed fish.
COBIA
Cobia fishing in the offshore waters of Naples is a pursuit filled with excitement and unpredictability. Unlike grouper or snapper, which tend to hold tight to structure, cobia are wanderers, appearing when you least expect them
