Tim Daugherty, Captain at Fish The Salt Guide Service

Turn your Marco Island vacation into an unforgettable adventure with Fish the Salt Guide Service, your local experts in world-class inshore fishing. With a lifelong passion for fishing the pristine backwaters and mangroves of Marco Island, our captain has turned that passion into a full-time guiding career, delivering personalized trips that cater to anglers of all experience levels. Whether it’s your first time casting a line or you’re a seasoned angler seeking trophy fish, our trips are designed to create memories that last a lifetime.


Our inshore fishing trips showcase the best of Marco Island’s unique ecosystem, where crystal-clear waters, winding mangroves, and abundant wildlife set the stage for an extraordinary day on the water. Guests often remember their first trophy catch, the thrill of landing a tarpon, snook, or redfish, and the sheer excitement of being immersed in this beautiful, productive environment. Every trip is tailored to your goals, whether you’re after high-action light tackle fishing or a relaxed, scenic day exploring the local waters.


We offer half-day, three-quarter-day, and full-day trips, ensuring flexibility for families, couples, or solo anglers. Our trips are fully private, allowing you to focus on your fishing experience without distractions, and we provide all the gear, knowledge, and insider tips you need to succeed. Spring and early summer are peak season, thanks to the prime inshore action and abundance of tarpon, but fall and winter trips offer cooler weather, fewer crowds, and excellent fishing year-round.


In addition to fishing, we cater to families and beginners with short “first catch” trips, eco tours, and wildlife-focused excursions, making it easy for everyone to enjoy Marco Island’s stunning waters. From customizing your itinerary to sharing local insight about fish behavior and hotspots, our approach emphasizes hospitality, safety, and a genuine love of the sport.


Whether you’re chasing trophy fish, learning the ropes for the first time, or simply looking to soak in the natural beauty of Marco Island, Fish the Salt Guide Service delivers a fishing adventure you won’t forget. Book your trip today and experience the perfect combination of expert guidance, exciting action, and the unmatched charm of Marco Island’s inshore waters.
