The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I'm from Trinidad & Tobago and was raised in Puerto Rico, awakening to the sites of cruise ships, fishing vessels, and crystal-clear beaches, waves crashing onshore, and a brisk salty breeze out my bedroom window. I spent most of my childhood fishing and surfing on the island of Puerto Rico. I love the places my love for the ocean has taken me, and the people I’ve met along the way. I moved to Orlando FL, and got married to my beautiful wife. Two wonderful kids later, the ocean called me, and I wanted to teach and share my passion of navigating & fishing the ocean to my kids and friends. So we find ourselves living in Venice, FL, and haven’t looked back. The saltwater fishery here is truly a gift, there is always something amazing to target in every season! I’ve picked up a variety of tactics and methods throughout the years and worked hard at perfecting my craft. As a Coast Guard Certified Captain, my passion for the ocean and safe boating is strong. It brings me great joy to share my knowledge of fishing with my kids and all who join me on a fishing adventure. Whether we are fishing nearshore for Snooks, Mangroves, and Redfish or shooting offshore 9 miles in search of Snappers and Groupers, every trip is a chance for an adventure. The main objectives of any of my outings are the safety of all my passengers and crew and the pursuit of a memorable day.

Half Day Trip on April 16, 2025
Excellent Experience for Family First-Timers!
Everyone imagines they are going to catch the biggest sea monsters if they charter a fishing boat, and we were no exception to this. For starters, we fished for less than an hour offshore, myself and four kids, ranging from 8-14 in age, and we caught TWO dozen fish with Captain Marvis in that time, because he had us set up pretty. If we fished all four hours, I could see us breaking 100, and this was with only 3 rods in the water! Why only 3 you ask? Because the youngest caught two and was immediately...

Fun trip for the family
Marvis helped make it a fun trip. We caught fish at each spot we stopped. At the last stop 4 out of 6 of my family went swimming. The water was wonderful. We ended up with 26 fish and a lot of filets. I recommend this charter.
