Come spend a day fishing like the locals do! Captain Marc Kroseberg Fishes inshore and nearshore waters in Southwest Florida along pristine mangrove lines, clean beaches, and nearshore reefs/wrecks. Charters start in Naples out of Wiggins Pass!

Further offshore we’ll target Permit, Cobia, Goliath Grouper, Sharks, and more! All experience levels are welcome and all gear and fishing licenses are provided, and you can bring your own fishing gear if you’d like! Capt. Marc will bait your hooks and help you with casting and taking fish off the line as well.

There’s a cooler full of ice, stocked with bottled water and sodas. If there are any special refreshments you’d like to bring, feel free to do so!

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.

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.
