Chasin' Tales Fishing Charters is a Naples, FL-based provider of private fishing charters operating on local inshore, nearshore, and offshore waters. The company runs both center console and bay boat trips and offers flexible durations including three-hour, 3.5-hour, four-hour, and six-hour private charters. Trips are customizable for families, groups, and anglers seeking fishing, sightseeing, or a combination of both. Inshore options focus on Naples Bay and the Rookery Bay Preserve, targeting species such as snook and redfish, with frequent wildlife sightings of dolphins, pelicans, and manatees. Nearshore and center console trips pursue a variety of fish including barracuda, snapper, and shark, while offshore center console charters venture beyond the 9-mile state boundary to target grouper, snapper, and kingfish. Offshore guests may have the option to have their catch prepared at local restaurants that offer cooking services. Specialty trips include tarpon fishing — with giant tarpon on the spring run and juvenile tarpon available year-round — and night fishing options. Night charters run both inshore and offshore, with inshore night trips focusing on sight fishing for snook around underwater lights on 3.5-hour private charters, and offshore night trips offering cooler temperatures, fewer boats, and full moon snapper opportunities. Short three-hour center console tours provide a flexible choice for guests with limited time. All charters are private, allowing for tailored itineraries and focused attention on guests’ objectives. Trips suit families, groups, anglers of all skill levels, and special occasions or a relaxed day on the water with customizable itineraries and personalized attention.
