Took the backwater fishing trip with Capt Trent. What a great time. He was very knowledgable and helpful. Made sure we were on the fish in the mangroves. Even put us in the pass to catch a few sharks. Highly recommend.

Capt Trent took us out on a morning 3 hour backwater fishing trip and we had a great time! The fish were all over the lines as soon as we put them in the water! He was very knowledgeable and patient (which was good since I'd never been before). He definitely knew where to go for the fish and also... More

I travel to Naples frequently, and just about every time I take some sort of outing for fishing. The last 2 times we went with Sunshine Tours. The first time with sunshine tours was doing backwater fishing. The weather was fantastic, but the fishing was a total bust. We did catch one lady fish each because they were going nuts... More

Had a very good day caught lots of big sheephead and spanish mackerel. Capt Trent is a knowledgeable, professional captain who really knows how to run a boat and will put you on the fish whether its near shore or backwater!

Went out on one of Sunshines charters. 6 guys 4 hours and we ended up with 9-10 small snappers. For 624$ the least the captain could have done is put us on some fish. If you want to catch some fish find a different boat!

I appreciate the sightseeing endorsment. Sorry you had a slow day of fishing. In checking, it looks like you were on a shared charter, for $99.00 per person. Typically, those trips do quite well, and usually you get to fish with some nice people, but as fishing goes, some days you get more keepers than others. Depending on the day,... More

We had the most fantastic day with cpt Chaz. Some good fishing in the back waters of the mangroves near Marco Island. The highlight came from the dolphins in the area. Especially the one that chased our catch to the side of the boat. Close enough to touch. We also felt like we got a pretty good price for the... More

My husband and I took a fishing charter to the backwaters and caught a good amount of fish. Our Captain, Rick, was very knowledgable on everything fishing. I was amazed that even by the pull on the line that he knew what kind of fish was there! We had so much fun we came back the next day to book... More
