You never know what you'll see out on the water, and every day is different! Come enjoy the local wildlife and atmosphere, and have an awesome day out on the water with a captain that's truly passionate about the area and its fishery.
Attention: Even if Snook and Redfish are in season, they are catch and release only on this charter. Seatrout are at a reduced 2/3rds limit.

IF I COULD GIVE 100 STARS I WOULD *FRIENDLY CAPTAIN **EVERY LIVE BAIT WE NEEDED WAS ALREADY ON THE BOAT BEFORE WE GOT ON *NEW EXACTLY WHERE TO GO tarpon on in under 5 min Went for Goliath grouper 1 on in minutes Caught the biggest fish I have ever seen or could imagine Went inland for other fish caught 4 different kinds immediately Boat is clean, great for offshore and inland Captain is very knowledgeable, professional and was great with my son as well. Cleaned our fish for us. I can’t say enough. This is the guy you want to book with.
Such an awesome review, thank you so much Peter! I had a great time with you guys, looking forward to next time!! Thank you!!! -Marc
Marc is an excellent professional fishing guide. I love Florida and I love the Gulf of America. I also loved catching a gigantic Goliath Grouper that Marc put me on. I want to come back another time and target TripleTail & Permit. Marc works hard and is easy to get along with. Beautiful part of Florida and I am looking forward to returning.
Thank you for the awesome review Paul! I had a great time with you, looking forward to fishing with you again! -Marc
Captain Mark didn't waste anytime putting us on fish. Within the first hour we landed an 100lb Tarpon and had a larger one break off. It took over 45 mins to land that fish. He helped us get great pictures before he revived the fish and released it. We decided to do some inshore fishing which turned out to be a slow day. He couldn't have tried any harder to find some fish at many of his favorite spots. Great day and nice boat. Highly recommend a day out with him.
Thank you for the awesome review Steven! I had a great time with you guys on the boat! -Marc
Capt. Marc was a true professional. Bait was tight but he still got us on the fish and we ended up with a great variety catch. Had it cooked up at a local restaurant on his reco. Was a great day and and a great fishing trip. Equipment is new and modern. Boat was comfortable for the 4 of us. Would definitely sail again with him.
Thank you for the awesome review Elia!! Tight lines -Marc
Fantastic trip with Captain Marc! We caught snook, jacks, mangrove snapper, and even limited out on sea trout. He kept us on the fish by moving to the right spots, had great equipment, and did an excellent job cleaning and packing our catch. Easygoing, great conversation, and a true pro—would absolutely book again! Thanks.
Thank you guys for the awesome review!! -Marc

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I was born in Germany but moved to Florida when I was 10. I have always been involved with boats, even before moving to Florida. I've always loved the outdoors and that's why growing up in Florida was so awesome. It's truly a blessing to live in Florida, especially in this specific area, and I could never imagine moving anywhere else. Whatever spare time I have is usually spent fishing. The challenge and variety is why I enjoy fishing just as much, if not more, than when I started. Every day on the water is different. Watching newcomers catch fish and feel that excitement brings me more joy than catching fish myself, and seeing that is special.
