2, 4, and 8 hour Private Inshore Fishing Charter - Marco Island Fishing

Whether you're an early riser or a late-day drifter, this inshore and backwater trip is your ticket to the quiet side of Marco Island—where the snook are sneaky, the redfish are grumpy, and the sea trout bite like they’ve got something to prove.

We’ll cruise the calm waters of the mangroves, oyster beds, and hidden creeks, casting live bait and artificials into the kind of fishy spots that don’t show up on maps. Expect light-tackle action, steady bites, and just enough chaos to keep things spicy.


Morning trips are all about that crisp air, moving tides, and getting tight before breakfast. Afternoons bring the golden light, rising water, and fish sliding out of the shadows lookin’ for trouble.


Great for families, first-timers, seasoned anglers—or anyone who prefers fish stories over traffic. You bring the good vibes, I’ll bring the rods, bait, and a cooler full of stories.

Starting At $400

3 Hour Kids Marco Island Kids Fishing Trip

Got young anglers with big curiosity and short attention spans? This trip’s made just for ‘em. We’ll cruise through the mangroves on a fun, laid-back boat ride packed with wildlife spotting, dolphin watching, and fish catchin’—whatever’s biting, we’re reeling it in!


We’ll keep it simple, exciting, and stress-free. Think snapper, ladyfish, maybe even a shark if the season’s right and the fish gods are feelin’ generous. No pressure, no high-stakes trophy hunts—just rods bending, lines tugging, and lots of laughs along the way.


We even start a little later in the morning so you can hit snooze once or twice and still get the kiddos out on the water.


Captain's tip: If you’ve got any young deckhands under 100lbs, give us a heads-up so we can bring the right life jackets and keep safety first.


This isn’t just fishing—it’s a boatload of fun, with salt air, sea critters, and memories your little ones will talk about all the way home.

Marco Island Nearshore Reefs & Wrecks Fishing Charter

Ready to tangle with the reef dwellers and wreck bullies that call the Gulf home? On this trip, we head 2–5 miles off Marco Island, where the water’s deep enough for action but close enough that your coffee’s still hot by the first cast.

We’ll drop lines on natural reefs and old wrecks teeming with snapper, grouper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, and whatever else decides to crash the party. Some days it's a steady pick, some days it's chaos — either way, your arms are gonna feel it.

Expect bottom-droppin’, jig-poppin’, and maybe a little light trolling if the bite’s hot. I’ll put you on the fish, give you the rundown on what’s hittin’, and cheer you on while you battle that grouper like it's talkin' smack about your grandma.

Perfect for anglers who want steady action without sailing halfway to Mexico. Good vibes, cold drinks, tight lines — let’s go reef wranglin’.

Starting At $650

Marco Island Shark Fishing Trip

Ready to tangle with something that bites back? Our shark fishing trip off Marco Island ain’t for the faint of heart—or the weak of arms.

We head into nearshore waters where blacktip, bonnethead, and the occasional bull shark roam like they own the place (spoiler: they kinda do). We’ll be chunkin’ bait, setting heavy drags, and waitin’ for that glorious moment when the line starts screamin’ like it saw a ghost.

When it happens, hang on. Sharks don’t nibble. They hit like a freight train and fight like they’re mad about it. This is adrenaline-soaked, arm-burning, grin-inducing action from start to finish.

Perfect for thrill-seekers, bucket-listers, and anyone who thinks "normal" fish just aren’t mean enough.

It’s man vs. toothy beast. And on this boat? We like our odds.

Manatee Fishing Adventure

Imagine this: the sun’s just coming up, the water is glassy, and you’re about to embark on the rarest fishing experience in Florida — Manatee Fishing. Your captain will take you straight to the hidden hotspots where these massive “sea cows” roam. We’ll show you the exact bait they can’t resist, teach you the perfect hook set, and...

Okay... hold up. We can’t keep a straight face. Here’s the truth — manatee fishing isn’t just illegal, it’s completely ridiculous. These gentle giants are protected, slow-moving vegetarians who wouldn’t bite a hook if their seagrass depended on it. But we thought it would be funny to pretend it’s a thing.

Instead, book one of our real fishing trips and enjoy Captain Jamie’s “expert” manatee fishing tips like:


  • “Wave politely and wait for them to wave back.”
  • “Sing Barry White to lure them closer.”
  • “Offer them a salad. They’re vegetarians, after all.”


This trip is 100% a joke, but the laughs, memories, and wildlife sightings? Those are as real as it gets.
