Jim SudlowRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewOutstanding Captain!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on November 1, 2026 • 6 adultsWe had 2 Excellent trips with Marco Reel & Shore Charters! Seth is a phenomenal Captain with deep knowledge of the local waters and a fun person to be with. He put us on the fish and made the trip memorable and fun for everyone in my party. They all loved the experience and can't stop talking about how much they enjoyed it. Lost count of how many fish we caught, and have enough fillets for several meals. Highly recommend this company, and will book again on our next trip.
Ernest Garcia5.0VerifiedCali. Family, Florida fishing.
6 Hour Trip – Backwater - 1:00 PM on April 2, 2026 • 6 adultsWhat an adventure with Captain Seth! From chasing fish to exploring the area and finding shells, the trip was packed with action and fun. Everyone in our group caught fish, and Captain Seth took us far beyond a standard fishing trip. His knowledge of the water and easygoing style made the whole day feel like a true Florida experience. We had an incredible time and would book again in a heartbeat!
Mike EricksonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWhat an experience!!!
4 Hour Trip – Backwater on March 10, 2026 • 6 adultsWe caught 11 mackerel and tons of other fish. We also caught and released two Goliath grouper but the third one had an unfortunate ending to its life. A 13’ Hammerhead shark literally struck it as Capt Seth had his hand reaching for its gills to lift it. He was lucky to keep his hand! Wow what an adrenaline rush!!!

Cherie Cullen5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Family Fishing Trip!
4 Hour Trip – Offshore - 1:00 PM on June 15, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had an absolutely amazing experience with this fishing charter in Marco Island! Our family of four, including two teenagers, had the time of our lives. Each of us caught fish, but the highlight was landing the biggest catches our family has ever seen—truly unforgettable! Our captain, Seth, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He knew all the best spots and made sure everyone was having fun, learning along the way, and staying safe. His easygoing vibe made the day even better. This trip was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and bonding time. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area—especially families looking for something memorable to do together. We’ll be talking about this for years!
Scott StepenoffRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic Trip. Lots of different fish and family friendly.
4 Hour Trip – Backwater on October 17, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 childrenSeth got the boat on fish quickly and kept us catching fish all day. He had the kids really engaged and made sure all of us caught fish. We caught goliath grouper, trout, lasy fish, a large stingray, flounder, crevalle jack, bluefish and catfish. Definitely going again. Would recommend to any family or adults.
