Wiggins Bay Charters in Naples

Wiggins Bay Charters provides guided fishing with Captain Marc Kroseberg from the Wiggins Pass area of Naples. Trips can work sheltered mangrove water, beaches or nearby Gulf structure. Marc welcomes all experience levels and describes helping with casting, baiting and taking fish off the line.

Contact and booking details

Choosing inshore or nearshore water

The inshore species list includes snook, redfish, sea trout, tarpon, sheepshead and snapper. Nearshore descriptions add permit, cobia, sharks and goliath grouper. The actual selection depends on the season and the water conditions available during your outing.

Tell Marc if learning basic fishing is more important than pursuing a particular large fish. His service lets guests discuss bringing personal equipment, but provides fishing gear itself. A day around the mangroves and a run toward offshore structure can feel quite different, even on the same boat.

A 2023 Pathfinder bay boat

The advertised fishing vessel is a 25-foot Pathfinder from 2023 with a Yamaha 300. Its equipment includes a sight-fishing tower, electronics, side-scan sonar, twin Power-Poles and a trolling motor. Marc describes it as suitable for the shallow backwater and appropriate Gulf outings.

Fishing is planned for up to four anglers. The separate sightseeing menu permits six, so do not apply that larger number to a fishing booking. Ask about seating and shade for your group, particularly if children or older relatives will spend several hours aboard.

Morning fishing prices

The rate page lists a morning four-hour fishing trip at $600 for three people, with $50 for a fourth. The six-hour package is $750 for three, with the same fourth-person supplement. Afternoon half days are seasonal and require a call or text for availability.

A four-hour sightseeing, dolphin or shelling outing is listed at $500 for up to six. Clarify whether a custom combination is available and what it costs. Published trip categories do not establish how much fishing time would remain if you add beach or wildlife stops.

What Marc supplies

Fishing equipment and license coverage are advertised as provided. The boat carries a cooler with ice, bottled water and sodas. Guests may bring particular drinks, beer or snacks. Marc also says he fillets and bags legal fish kept from the outing.

Share any preference for keeping dinner fish or releasing everything at the start. The captain must follow applicable species and size rules either way. Bring a hat and sunglasses, and ask how to pack food or a small cooler without using space needed for safe movement around the deck.

Wiggins Pass departure arrangements

Call or text 239-595-3456, or write to wigginsbaycharters@gmail.com. The site says charters start from the Cocohatchee boat ramp in Naples. Confirm the precise meeting place, parking requirements and morning arrival time after your date is accepted.

The public information reviewed does not lay out a full cancellation policy or deposit figure. Have Marc supply those terms and the captain-canceled weather procedure. Keep the fishing guest limit and final total in the reservation, especially when adding a fourth person or arranging a seasonal afternoon start.

Details checked October 11, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
