Second trip with Captain Marcus and it was awesome.
4 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore (PM) on September 27, 20255 adults
We booked Captain Marcus a few years ago and had a great time (look at my old review). Well, we did it again and had another fantastic trip out this past weekend! Captain Marcus and Wyatt were fantastic. Took us out almost 8 miles and we were catching fish all afternoon. They went above and beyond to try to find great locations to fish and our family had a fantastic time. We caught some Red Snapper, Amberjack, Queen Triggerfish, a Remora, and hooked some sharks and who knows what else (that got away!) All in all I will be booking Captain Marcus in the future!

What a trip!!?!
4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (AM) on August 7, 20253 adults
Captain Marcus and Wyatt knew I was taking my son on a trip and my request was “to catch something big”. They made sure we caught out limit of delicious snapper (and filleted them beautifully) and also tried to help my 13 yr old catch him something big. We were lucky and he landed a gorgeous amberjack. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and help from these two. We were spoiled and had the best time. Thank you again!

Fantastic Trip & Experience!
4 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore (AM) on July 26, 20254 adults
Captain Marcus (and his son) helped us have a great fishing trip. We caught a large number of fish with great variety. At the end of trip he fileted all of our fish. He was very knowledgeable about the waters and where to find the best fish. He was great with my wife, kids and I and made the trip really enjoyable. Looking forward to getting back out onto the water with him for a future trip!

Yes sir, best charter we have ever been on!
5 Hour Trip – Offshore (PM) on June 27, 20252 adults1 child
Captin Marcus and first mate Wyatt were very knowledgeable gentlemen. We caught our limit of fish and had the most tasty red and black snapper meal. They definitely knew the area and were to go. It was everything we wanted and more. There was even a friendly dolphin that stopped by and hung out with us! We plan on chartering with them again!

Red Snapper
