Fishing the Everglades National Park
& the 10,000 Islands of
Chokoloskee & Everglades City, FL

Hi, I’m Captain Rapps. I offer expert guided light tackle nearshore and backwater fishing trips just south of Naples, FL  in the Everglades National Park.  I am happy to accommodate anyone from novice to hardcore seasoned pro.

There is no holding back a big grin from the moment we plane off and immediately traverse through a veritable maze of red, black, and white mangroves. This is the Everglades National Park. You are on a real adventure to a very special place that few will ever see or know.

I will provide:

• Bait
• Top of the line spin gear and tackle
• Coolers and ice
• All necessary fishing licenses, insurance, fuel

Rates

Best Value! $500 - Full Day up to 8 hours
$450 - 3/4 Day up to 6 hours
$400 - 1/2 Day up to 4 hours

It is most comfortable fishing 2 anglers, however a 3rd angler can come along
for no additional cost to you if you wish to give up casting space.

Tips: It is customary to tip your captain for good service,
and most certainly appreciated.

How to Reserve Your Trip:

Don't wait till the last minute - Be sure to book as far as possible in advance to reserve the dates you would like to fish.
It is not uncommon for me to have bookings several weeks or months ahead.  If your schedule allows, I like to look at the tide charts, moon phase, weather patterns, and several other factors to give you the best scenario to fulfill your dream.
You can use the contact form right here on the web site to reach me.
