At the end of the day, he'll even clean and bag your catch – just be sure to bring a cooler for easy transport home. There's plenty of space in the onboard cooler for any snacks or drinks you bring and there's bottled water and ice already in there.

Caught fish at every stop!
3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on August 4, 2026 • 3 adults • 3 children

What a great day with Captain Mark and his mate Chris! I took four kids and myself and they were extremely helpful with the kiddos and their fishing experience. Especially my daughter who got a little see sick. Captain Mark and Chris made great suggestions that were really helpful in turning her day around and making sure her day was as good as could be. She went from crying and wanting to go home to jumping back on the rod and asking if we could go again soon. Thank you guys again for a great time, we’ll be back!!

April fishing trip
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on April 18, 2026 • 5 adults

Captain knows where the fish are. Caught about 10 fish trolling then another 15 bottom fishing in a 4 hour charter. We weren’t bringing in any big trophy fish, but it was a great trip to get everyone reeling in some fish. Quick ride out and quick equipment setup. 10/10

Reported catch:

    Captain Mark was knowledgeable and knew the area very well and put us on the fish early and changed gears quickly to keep them biting all day. Overall would recommend this trip for anyone that wants to catch fish in a relaxing environment.

    Captain, crew and boat are top notch. They had a variety of bait available to suit what the fish were biting that day. They were honest that chances of catching a mahi (for this time of year and near shore) were low, yet when an opportunity presented itself they had gear ready to capitalize on the situation and we caught one. Great memory for our 10yo son who reeled in so many fish he slept the whole way back to the marina. Will definitely book with Markin Fish again!

    Captain Mark and mate Chris were phenomenal!! Boat ready to go on arrival, beanbag chairs for comfort, and outstanding fishing at reasonable prices. Captain cleaned and bagged 100+ fish for us afterwards. By far the best fishing charter we have been on with our now teenage kids in the last 15 years of spring break in Florida!! We already want to book again next year. Great guys, comfort, and great fishing. Book the 3/4 day charter, best money I’ve ever spent fishing!!
