    TRIPLETAIL - CAN’T SAY I’VE NEVER CAUGHT ANYMORE!

    Half day inshore on September 2, 2026 • 1 adult

    Had a great day with Capt Marcus! My goal was to catch Tripletail, something I’ve never done before. He put us on the fish right away! He also taught a lifetime fisherman something new today. I’ll not be plopping breakfast on the table when I’m out fishing with him again!😂 You’ll have to ask him about it when you book with him. You will not regret booking with him. I had a blast and am looking forward to the next time! Thanks, Marcus! Great Day!

    First fishing charter trip!

    Quick trip for the kids on June 5, 2026 • 3 adults

    I booked this trip for my son as a graduation gift. My boys both enjoyed it and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. Marcus was very knowledgeable and funny. I would definitely book another trip with him, but would book a longer tour for more time! Thank you Marcus for a great memory with my boys!

    Marcus was great! We caught plenty of sheepshead and redfish, had lots of laughs, and he showed us some of the loacal history. One of our group had never fished before, and Marcus was great at helping her catch her first-ever fish! A great day, I'll book with him again.

    Capt. Marcus is the man.

    Half day inshore on April 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    My girlfriend and I set out with one goal; to catch redish. Not only did we exceed that goal, we had a fun time and down to earth experience. 12/10 stars, would do it again. Marcus is knowledgable of the area and can accommodate new fisherman and experienced anglers. Future patrons will proudly know their money is well spent
