    Fantastic Fishing Trip!

    5 Hour Trip – Offshore3 adults

    What a wonderful experience! Captain Marcus & his son Wyatt were very knowledgeable in teaching all of us about the ocean, fishing & all the types of fish. We caught Mahi Mahi, Amberjack (Greater/Lesser), Mangrove snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish and many more! Captain Marcus brought us to many different ares to fish offshore. We stopped to catch bait also. We even saw dolphins which was a bonus! It was a fun excursion with constant positive encouragement from Captain Marcus which helps…especially with fishing. We had an absolute blast & would highly recommend this father/son duo!

    Good fishing trip for my Grandson

    4 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore3 adults1 child

    Captain Marcos and Wyatt made our fishing trip truly memorable, especially for my 7-year-old grandson. They were incredibly patient, friendly, and great with kids, which made the experience even more enjoyable for him. I booked a 4-hour trip, thinking a longer outing might be too much, but it turned out to be the perfect amount of time. While we only kept two fish—a flounder and a mangrove snapper—we stayed busy catching several red snapper, even though they were just under the size limit. One of the highlights of the trip was when a dolphin swam right up to the boat, which absolutely thrilled my grandson. The boat itself was clean and well-equipped, making the outing comfortable and stress-free. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Gulf Coast Water & Woods Guide Service!

    Second trip with Captain Marcus and it was awesome.

    4 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore (PM)5 adults

    We booked Captain Marcus a few years ago and had a great time (look at my old review). Well, we did it again and had another fantastic trip out this past weekend! Captain Marcus and Wyatt were fantastic. Took us out almost 8 miles and we were catching fish all afternoon. They went above and beyond to try to find great locations to fish and our family had a fantastic time. We caught some Red Snapper, Amberjack, Queen Triggerfish, a Remora, and hooked some sharks and who knows what else (that got away!) All in all I will be booking Captain Marcus in the future!
