Identity Verified
Join Chasin' Tales Naples Fishing Charters and experience our backwater and nearshore fishing in the Naples Florida region. Captain Geoff Crouse and team has so much insight into the importance of the customer experience and what it takes to ensure that it would be a memorable one.
Captain Geoff and his team loves their job and it translates into the first-class service they always strive to provide to everyone fishing with them. They believe that the customer experience is and always should take precedence over all else.
You’ll join them on their 25’ Parker 2501 Center Console that sports a Yamaha F300 engine and plenty of space to accommodate up to 6 anglers. It is equipped with a large T-top, (for those who like a little shade when fishing), 2 large live wells, a large fish box, plenty of comfortable seating, a Simrad GPS/bottom machine and a fully enclosed head.
The Parker is a solid, stable fishing platform that is tried and true. It is the perfect vessel for fishing the nearshore waters of Florida’s paradise coast and can be utilized to target almost anything that swims in The Gulf of Mexico. From snapper and grouper to permit, kingfish and tarpon, no fish is safe when fishing out of this center console, and because the boat is equipped with an Armstrong bracket, it has the ride and feel of a much larger vessel.
Kids are welcome aboard so bring them along, they will have a great time with the Chasin' Tails Team, and surely will enjoy the experience fully. Your Captain will provide all the fishing gear and will happily clean your catch within seasonal, size, and bag limits according to law — excluding snook. Just bring some appropriate clothes and a cooler to take your catch home.
Here at Chasin’ Tales, we believe the key to a successful fishing charter is having a patient, knowledgeable, fishing guide who not only puts you on fish but teaches you how to fish. So whether you’re a novice or a seasoned angler, you’re certain to have a great time!

Ratings & Reviews Summary

We had a great time with Captain Geoff. We were in fish literally from the first cast. Geoff is fun to be around and he's great at teaching you the right way to get your bait to the fish. He'll definitely put you in the right spots to get on fish and he isn't shy about moving to the next spot when the fish cool off. We did a back country inshore and I highly recommend it, especially for those who don't want to spend a bunch of time driving to a spot before you fish. We had fish in the boat within 10 minutes of starting our day. Great trip!

My friends and I did a six hour inshore trip with Geoff yesterday. All I can say is WOW! We landed close to 60 mostly Snook throughout the day. While that is incredible, there a few other things the separated Geoff from other guides I have used. As an avid fisherman I’m a constant student of the craft and Geoff truly knows his stuff. I was able to learn a lot from Geoff from the way he reads the tides, use of electronics, even his technique of getting hooks out of the trees. Geoff consistently checked our leader and re-tied our hooks constantly to reduce the times the hook would break off- this was noticeably different and more pro-active then any other guide. I also loved that he had bait BEFORE we went out and allowed us to fish to the end of our paid time and our drive back was AFTER our paid time.These things really stood out to me and will certainly make Geoff the only guide I will use on the West Coast.

We booked with Chasin' Tails for the exact same trip 2 years in a row. Captain Tom did a great job both times. He helped us novices catch a couple of good meals worth of fish, and was knowledgeable on every species we caught. If we're back to vacation next year we'll be fishing with them again

Fourth time fishing with Captain Geoff's outfitter's "Chasin' Tales" and again, the trip did NOT disappoint. Blessed to have Captain "Coy" on this round and he was fantastic in every way. Had an amazing day and caught all the fish we could want! Only Charter outfit our family can count on and enjoy every time! Thanks again for the amazing outing!

What a treat fishing with Captain Geoff. He’s a real pro from the quality of his boat and tackle through his intimate knowledge of backwater fishing around Naples. Geoff is prompt, always has quality live bait and puts you on the fish. Every time I’m out with him he teaches me something new or gives helpful hints on casting techniques, fighting and landing fish, etc. I can recommend Captain Geoff without reservation.

Second nearshore trip with captain Tom. Same results with mixed bag of small fish including snapper and grouper. Also blue runner which we trolled over local wrecks yielding monster barracuda both times!! Very knowledgeable about fishing location and technique. Will be back for an offshore trip for kingfish. Chasin’ Tails is a great operation!!
