Fishing Charters
Naples, Marco Island, Ten Thousand Islands & Everglades

Night Flight Charters is a fishing charter service dedicated to serving its clients with excellence. We specialize in light tackle spinfishing and flyfishing in the backcountry of Naples, Marco Island, the Ten Thousand Islands and The Everglades. It doesn't matter what the angler's experience level is. My primary goal is to bring you to a level skillful enough to have a successful day on the water.

I am Captain Matt Hoover. I am a USCG licensed charter captain. My boats are top of the line skiffs and I am fully insured. I have lived in Naples since 1977.

There is no other fishery in the world that can compare to the mangrove estuaries of our slice of Florida. The area from the Ten Thousand Islands to the Everglades National Park is the largest mangrove stand in the world. It is a complex myriad of islands, rivers, creeks and silent bays.

The Ten Thousand Islands is a nursery to many inshore and offshore species of fish. The list of species is too long to give proper mention. We target snook, redfish, trout, and tarpon. Don't be surprised if you catch large jack crevalle, sharks, Goliath grouper or even a gag grouper.

During tarpon season, it is common to do battle with fish that exceed one hundred pounds. Methods for catching these species vary. We use the lightest tackle with live bait, plugs or flies. I will give you the list of options that are working the best, but the final decision on method is up to you.
