Always a great time with Capt Randy š He knows all the best spots for fishing adventures.

Captain Randy was the best! Iāve fished my whole life but have never been on a charter and every time I dropped my line in the water there would be a fish on the other end ! We only went out for a couple hours but it was great!

Randy is the BEST! We've been fishing with him for years. You won't find a better Captain to go out with in Marco Island.

Would recommend this Charter anytime. If you're in the Marco Island area .... look Randy up! He definitely put us on the fish! Now it's time to eat!

I recently visited FL with my daughter and her family, deep sea fishing had been on my bucket list for a very long time so I was more than excited when I was told we were going! Randy was the best, he took us to the place where the fish were biting the most. Each time we would caste we caught something, I was the Mom and Grandma and caught the two biggest fish š. The look on my GRANDson's faces showed they were both shocked and thrilled at the size of them š. Thank you Randy for a most pleasant and fun experience, I will be back!
