Naples 6-Hour Deep Sea Fishing — Head-Boat Trip on the Gulf
Head out 25–35 miles into the Gulf on a fast head boat for a six‑hour, crew‑assisted deep sea fishing trip. Gear, bait, licenses, cleaning and bagging are included—just bring sun protection and seasickness meds if you need them.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring seasickness prevention
Gulf swells and offshore distance can unsettle new anglers—take a dose of antiemetic or bring acupressure bands before boarding.
Sun protection is essential
Open water reflects intense sun—use SPF 30+, a wide‑brim hat, and UV sunglasses for the whole trip.
Wear non‑slip footwear
Decks get wet and tackle can be slippery; closed, non‑slip shoes improve safety and comfort while fishing.
Bring ID and small bills
The operator supplies gear and licenses, but you’ll want ID for check‑in and cash for tips or a cooked catch at Tin City restaurants.
