Everything you want in a captain and guide: followed all the rules, very safe and fun, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, took care of the bait, helped us with the rods and reels, helpful and encouraging. The boat was in great shape My boys and wife caught many different kinds of fish, felt very comfortable and had a great time. My boys had a fun time testing his tree and animal knowledge, he knew everything and the boys from Texas didn’t correct him once;) It was a great day!
Carly Routzahn5.0VerifiedBest birthday gift for dad
Kids & Family Fishing 2HR on September 7, 2026 • 2 adultsMy sisters and I purchased a two hour inshore fishing trip for my dad for his birthday while he was vacationing there in Marco Island. They were with Capt. Kevin. Both my parents caught fish, learned about the area, had plenty of water provided and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Dad said that it was the best birthday gift he's ever received. Thank you Captain Kevin and crew! We will be back with the whole family.
Sarah Davis5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
Half Day Fishing 12:30PM on July 3, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Kevin was fantastic! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience. Plus, he was so kind and patient with my boys. We didn’t get any keepers, but we had a great time fighting Goliath Groupers! We would definitely come back and fish with 4th Story Charters!
Kolee Brewer5.0VerifiedJason was GREAT! Best trip ever!
Special 4 hours trip for Kolee Brewer on June 24, 2026 • 6 adultsOur fishing captain was Jason, we went out for 8 am to 12 pm and everything was great! We caught many small groupers and small snappers. He made sure everyone always had bait and everyone caught something throughout the trip. We can’t wait to book again on our next Marco trip!
Diane Decker5.0VerifiedOutstanding Fishing Guide and Fishing Experience
Half Day Fishing 12:30PM on April 2, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenKevin was our fishing guide. He was so helpful, accommodating, and enjoyable. He relates well to kids and their families, and he is very patient helping his group. We went during the afternoon which was more challenging to catch fish. Kevin tried several locations and found areas where some fish were biting. We had a good time, even though it was slow catching fish at times. I would recommend Kevin as your guide.
Justin Talbott5.0VerifiedAwesome day!

A great 2 hour fishing trip with our 3 kiddos. Captain Jason made sure each kid caught fish and they kept him plenty busy baiting the lines! Would highly recommend for families looking to have a great fishing experience!
Captain Jason was perfect for my kids firat fiahing charter experience. 2 hours was great for catching a bunch of fish and keeping my kid’s attention. Fast fun ride to different spots Jammin out to county music was a blast. I would definitely do it again and probably spring for the 4 hour trip. We reeled in around 25 fish between the four of us, and one was a shark. not jaws but still cool for the kids to hold and brag about. We will be back next April. Thank you from Brian and kids.
