We had a great day of fishing and fun with Captain Rio.  We caught snook, snapper, trout, catfish and had a blast doing it.  The boat was well organized and accommodated the four of us really well.  Three of the four of us did not fish, but Captain Rio spent productive time with everyone to enable them to have a good time fishing.  The girls in our group really wanted to see dolphin.  Captain Rio was able to find us some dolphin and get them to play along the boat with us.  The trip was perfect for us.  I would recommend Captain Rio to anyone, novice or avid fisherman, young or old.  He has the patience to make sure everyone has a good time.  Thanks Captain Rio.  We will see you again.

We found Captain Rio to be an amazing guide and a really fun guy to fish with!  The tide was super low, but we still caught fish!  I really wanted to catch a grouper, and Captain Rio did not disappoint.  We caught a wide variety of fish including silver and speckled trout, jacks, lady fish, grouper, and the occasional sail cat.  He taught us some new fishing techniques my wife, son, father-in-law and me put to good use right away.  He was an excellent Captain and I would highly recommend him.  We have fished with 5 different Captains in the past and Captain Rio is by far the best and most fun with which to fish!

My family and I were visiting from Atlanta and wanted something different to do this go around in Marco Island. I chose Captain Rio over many of the other charters due to the outstanding reviews he had. He definitely lived up to them and then some! He was extremely knowledgeable about the different fish species and taught the first timers on the boat a lot! He knew I wanted to catch a Goliath grouper, but they weren’t biting as much as the red fish were and even extended our trip an hour until we caught one. I highly recommend Captain Rio’s charter, you’ll have a fantastic time!

Captain Rio showed us such a wonderful time! He was so knowledgeable about the area and such a delight. He made sure to engage everyone and make sure they were having a good time, even my mom who isn’t the fishing type. We caught some keepers, had some laughs, and Rio gave us a fantastic recommendation on where we can go to have the fish cooked! We will definitely be seeing him next year!

If you want to cat fish with a fun guy that knows fishing like the back of his hand then this guy is the man to book. The red tide was in town and a lot of fish were dead or gone…. this didn’t stop the captain. Captain Rio took us to his best sports and we didn’t stop catching fish all day. Five of us went and we all caught about 15 fish each! He filleted the fish we kept and we took them home and cooked them for a great fish dinner. 10/10 would recommend and we hope to see him again in April for the huge fishing season
