Amazing Inshore Trip on Marco Island — Great Energy & Fun

Went out twice with Captain Rio, each time with different family members, and both trips were awesome. The positive vibe and fun atmosphere really set this charter apart. This was a half-day inshore trip out of Marco Island, and it was relaxed, well-run, and a blast for everyone onboard. He’s upbeat, knowledgeable, and great at keeping things fun. Two trips, two great experiences. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

Captain Rio made for a great time of fishing and conversation! We hit some great spots and caught a bunch of fish. If you understand nature and fishing and appreciate the simple fact that you’re on the water loving life, it only gets better when the fish bite hard! Captain Rio was a lot of fun to hang out with. We really appreciated the history and knowledge along with sightseeing as we cruised around to different spots. We saw dolphins a bunch of times, a manatee, and soaked... More

My experience fishing with Captain Rio was excellent. He is fun, engaging, and clearly knows his craft. We caught several different fish species and had a great time on his boat. He is constantly helping, offering tips and pointers to improve your technique. I would highly recommend booking a trip with him for a fantastic experience fishing.

The freaky cold snap has dropped water temps and the trout were in no mood to take the bait. We moved near the rocks and landed 2 nice sheapshead. Captain did everything in his power to get us hooked up. He’s a fun guy to be around . We had a good time on the water and would book again the next time where in the area
