4hour inshore fishing on May 22, 2025
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!

4hour inshore fishing on March 19, 2025
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.

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!

3 hour inshore fishing on June 23, 2025
We had such a great fishing trip! We caught fish we could bring home to eat, saw dolphins and even a shark! Eddy was great and accommodating to our children, went out of his way so we could see dolphins and even got us a closer look at a nurse Shark. He was absolutely the best! We would definitely use him again!

6 Hour Trip on December 6, 2024
Captain Eddy put us on the fish super fast! With the cooldown this past week and windy conditions to contend with earlier in the week we weren’t sure how this trip would turn out but Eddy’s years of experience fishing Southern Florida pulled through!! We are not avid fishermen by any stretch and have little knowledge of Florida fishing but one thing I do know is that Captain Eddy and Shotime Charters will be getting booked back for our next fishing adventure!!! We had a great time and can’t wait to do it again!!! Thanks Captain Eddy!!!! From the Delaware boys. ( If you say that thing was a mermaid it’s good with us 👍)
