Shotime Charters
Based out of Goodland, Shotime Charters is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.
Capt. Eddy is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You'll be using techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning, depending on what you're going after. As part of their 4 to 6-hour trips, you can target species like Redfish, Snook, Snapper, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, and Grouper, depending on the current season and weather conditions.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 25' Contender boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features an ice box, and a wireless trolling motor.
All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that's up to you is to use it as best you can. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.
You're welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.
You'll find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you're always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you're free to make it a family adventure.

Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Eddy!
From the moment we set out, Captain Eddy’s energy and expertise made it clear we were in for a fantastic fishing adventure. He knew exactly where to go, and within minutes we were reeling in catches. His knowledge of the waters, top-notch equipment, and easygoing personality made the whole trip both successful and fun. What really stood out was how patient and encouraging he was, whether giving tips to improve our casting or celebrating every catch. At the end of the day, we had a cooler with fish and a head full of great memories. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience with someone who’s as passionate about the sport as he is about making sure you have a great time, Captain Eddy is the one to book. Can’t wait to go again!

Best fishing guide near Marco Island!
My son and I fished with Shotime Charters this week and had a great time. Eddy was very responsive to our messages through Fishing Booker prior to our trip from Texas. We caught five different species of fish (two types of grouper, snapper, catfish & snook) and were hooking fish most of the 4-hour trip. The drive from the JW Marco Island was about 15 minutes and the boat ramp was very easy to find. We learned that Eddy is the choice of several major fishing brands for their team charters in the Marco Island area. I’m always unsure if I can trust online recommendations, but you won’t go wrong with Eddy and Shotime Charters. After our trip we took our catch to nearby Cocomo’s Grill and had it prepared two ways, blackened Cocomo’s style and Jalapeño crusted. Do this, it was one of the best overall fishing experiences we have had!

5 Stars – Amazing Charter with Captain Eddy!
We had an incredible time on our 4-hour fishing charter exploring the Ten Thousand Islands with Captain Eddy. The scenery was stunning, and we caught a great variety of fish—ladyfish, snapper, speckled trout, Goliath grouper, snook, and crevalle jack. Captain Eddy was super chill, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the species we were catching, and always helpful with rebaiting hooks and giving tips. Whether you’re experienced or a first-timer, he’s the kind of captain you want. We’re already planning on coming back and booking with him again!

5 star fishing in Florida with Captain Eddy
I wanted to book a fishing trip that my family could enjoy together. Captain Eddy delivered a great trip on the water for us. A few in my family were new to fishing with spinning rods but somehow Eddy had all 5 of us fishing together. He was patient, knowledgeable about both fishing and the wildlife/ecosystem, and just was a great person to spend some time on the boat with. We caught several different types of fish but also enjoyed seeing the unique area of 10,000 islands. I would book with Eddy again if we find ourselves in Marco Island again on vacation. Thanks again for the great day. The kids are still talking about it as a highlight of the trip.

A great fishing trip with Captain Eddy
From start to finish, our trip with Captain Eddy was nothing short of incredible! Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine passion for fishing made for an unforgettable day on the water. The boat was well-equipped, spotless, and comfortable. Captain knew the best fishing spots and made sure everyone in our group had a great chance at landing a catch. From the moment we dropped our lines, it was non-stop action—for 4 straight hours, my two kids and I were reeling in fish after fish! Thank you, Captain Eddy for an amazing fishing trip in Florida!
