Amazing Experience! We had an amazing trip with Captain Eric, he worked hard to put us on the fish. He was very knowledgeable and quick to put the bait on for us. We will definitely use him again

Unforgettable!! Excellent charter trip. Captain Eric knew all the spots and we could not stop catching fish🤣🤣. He was always ready to help get the hook baited, help get fish off the hook, and was really knowledgeable about the area. We did the 4 hr trip; next time we will go longer because it was so much fun!! He cleaned all the fish for us back at the dock - there was an epic pelican feeding frenzy!! We got almost 5 pounds of fish filets to take home and made excellent fish tacos. This is YOUR charter fishing outfit.

Best trip ever We've booked a fishing trip with Chasin' Tails fishing Charters and Captain Eric for the past three years. The last two were great, we went out about 7-8 miles from shore and had a riot! We continuously caught great fish and never baited a hook! (Eric is all over that for you) This year we wanted to go out a bit further from shore, Geoff advised of the best days to go based on weather and wind, once again, Chasin' Tails did not disappoint! We went out 19 miles, the morning ocean was smooth and beautiful. We stopped at different spots and Eric baited our hooks. (we could have, but he was faster than us...:) we all dropped our lines in and BAAM......it was one after another! We did not stop reeling in fish, it was crazy! All 3 of us at one time continuously had fish on our hooks, Eric was running like his tail off!! It was like that at every stop we made! Besides catching fish, another little point to know when booking with this company is that they allow you to be you and have a good time. What I mean by this is that we got to listen to rock and roll, sing out loud, and swear like the sailors that we were that day. This was absolutely the best trip we've ever had. Thank you Geoff and Captain Eric. We will see ya next year boys, and we will be booking another trip, 19 miles out! From a very satisfied family...3 years in a row....

Perfect way to start the day! We had a great trip! Lots of action. Beautiful morning on the water and Captain Eric was excellent! The boat was clen and comfortable to fish out of and he worked non-stop baiting hooks and taking fish off. I will definitely be booking future trips with them!

Great time fishing in the gulf! We had an awesome time fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. This was the perfect activity for my 12 year old. We caught a bunch of fish and had a wonderful time. Captain Eric helped our entire family throughout the day. He was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was having a good time. He even cleaned our fish for us. I would definitely recommend this for families!

Great day on the water in Naples! What a great day! We did a 4 HR near shore trip with Captain Eric. He had planned out a bunch of spots to fish based on what had been working in recent days. But also kept us moving if we weren't getting bites. We all landed some great fish, inuding some monster Gag Grouper. The biggest being landed by my son's!! Captain Eric has some fans for life. We'll see you again the next time we're in Naples.

Look nowhere else. Captain Geoff is the best! Captain Geoff was fantastic! I’ve been on quite a few charters over the past couple decades and he is the best that I’ve used. Not only did we land 60+ fish in 5 hours, but also landed a 40+ inch snook. I firmly believe his expertise was the biggest driver of our incredible day. To add to the amazing fishing, he also took the time to show us how he tied certain knots and gave us detailed knowledge of the area/fish. I booked Captain Geoff strictly based off of his reviews and they were spot on. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Snook Hunting Had a great time with Capt. Geoff. He is a very knowledgeable fishing guide and was extremely helpful and patient with my wife, a novice fisherman. We will hire Capt. Geoff again!
