3/4 Day Trip
Booked a 3/4 trip with Captain Jonathan for my girlfriend and I and my only problem is that I wished I booked for a longer trip because we had so much fun, We didn’t have any particular fish we wanted to catch but we did suggest that we would love to catch a shark if possible just for a photo and to brag but we were just wanting to get out on the water and see what was happening! And Captain Jonathan delivered! We started the day and both my girlfriend and I caught multiple Goliath Groupers and filled our daily limit for Mangrove Snapper! We then moved closer inland and we caught two lemon sharks which made our day! Jonathan was very knowledgeable and patient and just let us cast out wherever and made sure our hooks were always baited and was fun to talk to! I highly recommend Red Tarpon Charters due to its really good prices. Next time we come to Marco Island we will definitely book with Red Tarpon Charters again! Thanks Captain Jonathan!

Half Day Trip Morning
Here's a review you might I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Red Snarpon Charters, captained by Jonathan, along with my friend and my son. From the moment we set out, Jonathan's expertise and passion for fishing were evident. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the mangroves, various fishing techniques, and the species we were targeting, which made the experience both educational and enjoyable. The highlight of our trip was when my son hooked a remarkable 5-foot hammerhead and a 6-foot lemon shark! Both fish put up an incredible fight, but thanks to Jonathan's expert guidance, my son successfully reeled them in. It was a thrilling experience that we will cherish forever. Jonathan's dedication to providing a top-notch fishing experience truly sets him apart from other charters. We will definitely be rebooking with him in the future. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, I highly recommend Red Snarpon Charters!

What a GREAT time out with Captain Jonathan and Red-Snarpon Charters. The kids wanted to go for sharks, and we got them! A little lemon (mine), and then 4 bull sharks that just got bigger with each one we (the kids) caught! We also caught mangrove snapper, catfish, ladyfish, jack, and snook! 4 hours was perfect. We'll definitely do this again with Captain Jonathan when we come back next year!

We had an unforgettable experience with this fishing charter in Marco Island! Captain Jonathan was absolutely amazing—so patient, calm, and great with kids. He helped our 5 and 9 year-old boys catch their very first fish, and they were SO EXCITED! He made sure everyone felt comfortable and kept the energy fun and relaxed the whole time. It was such a special memory for our family, and we’re already talking about when we can fish with him again when we come back. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and stress-free fishing trip!
