November fishing trip
Full day inshore on November 6, 20254 adults
Captain Marcus was very knowledgeable and kept up with all members of our group. He knew the fishing locations and managed to handle all the fish caught. You could tell from his actions that he was making every effort to make our trip enjoyable. We all were pleased with the accommodation, the friendly employees that worked in the restaurant to the person that helped prepare the fish we caught to take with us.

20th anniversary fishing trip
Full day inshore on September 4, 20252 adults
So my wife and i are on our 20th anniversary and decided to do an inshore fishing trip. We came across Capt Marcus online and decided to give it a try. Let me just tell you it could not have been a better trip. We had a great trip and caught fish till we were give out. Capt Marcus was a great Captain and we talked like we had known each other our whole life. Honestly it was just an all around perfect trip and I am so glad we decided to use Capt marcus for our trip. We will definatly call him again when we come back down this way for our next trip.

Great charter for kids and families.
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) w/ kids on June 11, 20253 adults1 child
Captain Marcus runs a great charter. He is pleasant, great with kids, knows the local waters very well, and is easy to work with. We caught fish on what turned out to be a difficult day fishing on the bay. Captain worked hard all day to get us bait and get us on the fish. Kids had a blast catching whatever was biting, and we probably all missed way more bites than an experienced angler would have. Saw a lot of fun wildlife; manatee, osprey, tarpon, seagulls, and pelicans. I would definitely go out with Captain Marcus again!

Fishing with Captain Marcus was one of the best trips that we have ever had!! Right from the start, he made us feel at home and we had great conversation the entire trip. We caught fish at every stop even though the conditions weren’t the greatest. If you have the opportunity to book a trip with Captain Marcus, do it!! You will not be disappointed!!
