For Captain Joe, every trip is an opportunity to share his love for the water, the thrill of catching the fish, and the beauty of nature with others.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or stepping onto a skiff for the first time, his goal is simple: to make sure you leave with incredible memories, a few great stories, and maybe even a fish of a lifetime. But what truly sets this charter apart isn’t just the fishing. It’s the experience. From the moment you step aboard, everything is taken care of: ice-cold drinks, premium gear, and your fishing license are all included, so you can focus on what matters. And to make sure those moments don’t fade, you’ll receive a personalized video where you’re the star of your own fishing adventure, creating a lasting memory of your time on the water.
Captain Joe has a deep passion for targeting Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon, and he relies on artificial baits to create the most exciting and rewarding experience possible. There’s a thrill in working a lure, watching the water explode as a fish strikes, and feeling the pull of a hard fight. If you’ve never fished artificials before, don’t worry, Joe will teach you everything you need to know.
And while fishing is the main event, the sights along the way are just as unforgettable. You might find yourself casting near a pod of dolphins, gliding past a resting manatee, or locking eyes with an Osprey diving for its next meal. From sea turtles to stingrays and even the occasional crocodile, the waters here are full of surprises.
Your journey takes place on a Beavertail Skiffs Vengeance, an 18-foot flats boat built for exploring shallow waters with ease. Designed for stability, comfort, and a smooth ride even when the wind picks up, this skiff is made for serious fishing and provides the perfect setup for a great fishing adventure.
Whether it’s your first time fishing or your hundredth, Captain Joe will do everything he can to make it a trip you’ll never forget!

Special 4 hour trip for Dave Dvorak
After being cancelled on Wednesday morning at 6:40 am for an 8:00 am charter I was scrambling to try to get my son out before we left to head back to chicago. Luckily we found Joe! He went out of his way to meet us earlier just to make sure we could a good day of fishing in. He was great with helping and instruction. My 11 year old son loved it and he was great with him also. We ended the day with one good sized red fish, three snook, and a trout that got off just before the boat! Will for sure book again when we are back in Marco!
