I have never chartered with anyone but have fished off the beach at Doctor's pass. You have to park about a mile south of the pass and hoof it. Bring plenty of quarters as it is metered parking. I forget the name of the park but should be obvious if you check out a local map. The pass can have some very good fishing albeit a little urban feeling for florida with the tall condos behind you. I have caught snook, pompano, groupers and jacks there. Some of the jacks will give you a serious run for your money as there are some decent ones usually around that pass. Watch the channel marker piling as they will wrap you up on it. As you hike down you will see little rockpiles along the beach. These usually hold Snook and Sheepshead. The snook should just be getting out of the back bays now with the water temps rising.
You could also try the beach around the pier and down by Gordons pass but I haven't fished those areas myself.
You could try contacting Mangrove Outfitters in Naples about Charters.
The tackle shops I know of are in Bonita one is Master Bait & Tackle and then the Ace Hardware in Bonita has a very good stock of tackle and has someone manning the counter for questions.
