Marco Fishing Company
Private Marco Island & Ten Thousand Islands Fishing – Kids Welcome, Everything Included
Marco Fishing Company runs private inshore fishing trips on Marco Island. Your group gets the whole boat. We fish the mangrove shorelines, oyster bars and backcountry of the Ten Thousand Islands, some of the best light-tackle water in Florida.
Your captain: Owner Capt. Jamie Cox leads a small team of licensed, local captains. Your captain's name is confirmed before your trip.
What you'll catch: snook, redfish, speckled trout, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, black drum, sharks, goliath grouper, cobia and tarpon in season. Your captain picks spinning, popping, jigging or bottom fishing based on the tide and what's biting.
Great for families and first-timers. We love getting kids on fish. Life jackets in every size are on board (required for kids under 7). Let us know their ages when you book.
Included: fishing license, rods, reels, tackle, live bait, ice and water. Keep legal fish and we'll clean and fillet them.
Bring: sunglasses, hat, non-spray sunscreen, snacks and any drinks you like. Beer and wine are fine. No hard liquor or glass.
The boat: an 18' 2016 Frontier bay boat, built to sneak into the shallow mangroves where the fish are. Up to 4 guests. Bigger group? We run three boats. Message us and we'll put you on two side by side.
Marco Fishing Company is veteran-owned.

Booked trip based on reviews since I was not familiar with anyone in the area. The boat captain was right on time and had everything ready to go when we got there. We boarded and headed out for the trip. The captain was very helpful and kept my buddy and I with bait on the hook. We definitely did our share feeding the fish and were able to catch some too. The weather was great and it was nice traveling between fishing locations. While we didn't catch any wall hangers we had a great experience and have nothing but good things to say about The Marco Fishing Company and our captain for the day Thomas Schmidt. Thanks for a good time.
It was a relaxing experience for our family. Our 11 and 12 year old kids enjoyed learning how to fish with our captain Dominic. He was patient and kind. We caught all sorts of fun fishes, sharks and crabs. He even had a magic trick to bring dolphins to follow our boat and play in the water. That was quite a show. Thank you Dominic for a wonderful experience!
We our locals to Marco and Naples and took our guests from Maine on a charter with Captain Matt. It was incredible, Matt was super professional, friendly, and knowledgeable of the waters. We caught SO many fish and explored some really cool spots. We plan to bring many more guests to fish with Matt in the future and you definitely should too. Also I have to say we booked this so last minute (literally an hour before set off) and their ability to accomodate us so fast was truly seamless and professional. THANK YOU!
So glad we were able to make it work. Captain Matt knows how to find the fish for sure. glad you had a food trip. We will see you next time!
Our captain, Jamie was great with teaching my kids all about fishing. We caught multiple fish! I would highly recommend Marco Fishing. Everything ran right on time amd was well organized. there was good communication before the trip, I knew exactly where to go.
thank you Don - enjoyed having you guys today
