Make an adventure out of your next trip to Bokeelia and go fishing with Captain Mark’s Fishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Mark can tell you all about the local fishery.

These waters are known for Great Barracuda, Hammerhead Shark, Bull Shark, Blacktip Shark, Lemon Shark, Tiger Shark, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Red Grouper, Gray Triggerfish, and more. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You’ll find yourself aboard a 22’ Center console with space for 6 passengers and a restroom. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Mark has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Bringing snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses is never a bad idea. Ice will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Captain Mark’s Fishing and get hooked!
