Skinny Dipn Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Marco Island.

These waters are known for Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Pompano, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, Blacktip Shark, Goliath Grouper, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream.

On these trips, it's common to spin using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Capt. Brandon can even clean your catch for you. How's that for fresh seafood?

You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Sea Fox center console with a capacity for 5 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Some essentials you'll want to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Skinny Dipn Charters!

Our favorite trip so far!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 4, 20263 adults

Captain Brandon was amazing with my 15yo son, ultimately making my son say it was his favorite trip & guide so far; and we've taken many. We caught a lot of snapper, a few snook & a huge stingray that gave a good fight - so much fun to watch my son reel it in! It was very hot this day & we expected that being July in Florida. Brandon offered to take us swimming but we wanted to continue to fish. So he let us cool off with his hose on board. After our trip, Brandon cleaned our fish & bagged them. We then took them to The Snook Inn & had a delicious meal. It was a really great trip & I appreciate everything Brandon did for us to ensure that. When I am back in Marco Island, which I hope to be, I will book with Brandon again.

Great day on the water!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 6, 20262 adults

Captain Brandon had us on fish within just a few minutes from the marina! First stop, first cast, and we were hooking up. Clearly, captain Brandon has fished these waters before and knew where to go and what would work best to put fish in the cooler. We stayed busy our entire charter catching trout, jack, snoock, and other species.

Reported catch:
Snook
Mangrove Snapper
Speckled Trout

Great Day!
3 Hour Trip – Fishing on January 5, 20264 adults

We highly recommend Captain Brandon. He was attentive, making sure we had bait on our lines. He was friendly, funny, incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and the fish we were catching. He even knew what type of fish was on our line before we reeled them in - he was right every single time. He was skilled at knowing where in the backwaters we could catch fish, as well as which rod would work best. We had a great experience and highly recommend him, 10/10.

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Speckled Trout
