Captain Ben skillfully navigated us to prime fishing spots with efficiency, ensuring a swift and enjoyable experience. The new boat added to the overall comfort, and Captain Ben's friendly and helpful demeanor enhanced the trip. Without a doubt, if I find myself in the Naples area again, I would eagerly choose to embark on this fishing adventure once more.

Captain's a real pro! We booked a shark fishing gig, and before our 8 am start, he casually snagged some live bait. Found us sweet spots to fish for snook and snapper while waiting for the shark action, making the trip a blast. I've tried other shark charters around here, but this guy takes the cake. Definitely the go-to for a laid-back and awesome fishing time.

The intimate mangrove setting caters to all experience levels. When it comes to knowledge and friendliness, Ben stands out as the best guide you could find.
