Book Your Next Adventure with Marco Fishing Company — Where the Bait's Fresh and the Stories Are Fresher

Ready to trade screen time for scream-drag? Come fish the wild beauty of Marco Island, Goodland, and the legendary Ten Thousand Islands with Captain Jamie Cox — a local pro who knows these waters like the back of his sunburned hand.

You’ll be targeting the usual suspects and then some: snook, redfish, spotted seatrout, mangrove snapper, cobia, sheepshead, black drum, tarpon, and whatever else decides to crash the party. These waters are full of surprises — and we know where they like to hide.

Depending on conditions and what’s biting, you might be spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or using a few tricks Captain Jamie’s picked up after years of chasing fins in the backcountry. It's hands-on, light tackle, high-fun Florida fishing at its finest.

This trip is perfect for all skill levels — from wide-eyed kids to salty veterans — and yes, we love getting the little ones on the water. Kids under 7 will need a life vest, so give us a heads-up to make sure we’ve got the right fit. And don’t forget the snacks… no one catches fish when they’re hangry.

You’ll be fishing aboard an 18’ bay boat built for sneaking through the shallows and hugging the mangroves, with room for up to r passengers. We provide the rods, reels, tackle, and live bait — and you won’t need a license either, so you can just hop in the car and meet us at the dock.

Bring sunglasses, non-spray sunscreen, and whatever drinks make you happy (beer’s fine, just skip the hard stuff and leave the glass at home). Captain Jamie will take care of the rest.

Sometimes the fish win. But a day on the water? That’s always a victory. Let’s make it happen — with Marco Fishing Company.

Review summary
These summary reviews were generated by AI based on recent reviews
Captain Jamie uses deep local knowledge of Marco Island waters to consistently place guests on productive inshore spots, while delivering kid-friendly guidance and standout catches.
Inshore fishing boats prioritize fishing efficiency over amenities like shade and seating, so guests may experience limited covered space; bite opportunities vary with season and weather.
What Guests loved
Keep in mind
  • Deep local knowledge places guests on top inshore spots with tangible results, including a 29-inch Redfish in at least one trip.
  • Child-friendly approach with patient instruction for 11- and 12-year-olds, keeping young anglers engaged and safe.
  • High-value service with catch handling, as catches are cleaned and filleted after trips, and trips can be extended to maximize fishing time.

The best experience I’ve had. Captain Jamie is very patient and knows where the fish are. He is very down to earth with a great disposition towards beginners as well as experienced anglers. Captain Jamie goes above and beyond which makes the overall experience worth every penny. I recommend Captain Jamie for all your Marco Island In-Shore fishing needs!
