We fished in the…read moremangroves, had dolphins following in our wake, saw birds of all types, and enjoyed eating our catch after the trip. When the fish stopped biting, Paul even stayed out with us an extra couple of hours so that we could try our luck in a few more places, and it paid off. Everyone had caught fish to keep by the time we were back on the shore! When we arrived at the boat, Captain Paul had it waiting for us and ready to go, and even had a cooler stocked with snacks, soft drinks, and water for us. All throughout the morning we learned lots of cool facts about nature, the history of the area, and the wildlife. He was also super helpful with the fishing process, such as techniques for how to best choose a spot, and how to bait the hook. Also, he has the best dad jokes and puns in the business! This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I'd definitely recommend Mangroveman Charters to anyone wanting a great time fishing in Naples and hiring a great boat charter.

We were also able to see dolphins and different birds. I can't recommend Captain Paul enough. This was the highlight of our vacation!!!!
