    Biggest redfish of my life!

    4 Hour Trip - 12:30 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    Caption did a great job. My wife and I went out today and our son and his friend both 12 years old so captain had his hands full to say the least. He did a great job not only putting us on fish but continuously waiting hooks , unhooking fish and getting lines out of trees.. he stayed patient with them and worked hard to make sure we all had a good time! My wife landed a monster redfish and lost a 60 pound tarpon at the boat!.. a memorable trip to say the least.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Tarpon
    Mangrove Snapper
    Redfish

    Great fishing with Capt. Stephen!

    4 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    Highly recommend fishing with Capt. Stephen! Marco Island local who really knows the waters, and put us right on prime fishing spot the entire trip. He runs a highly efficient charter, catching ample live bait with a single toss of the cast net, rigging rods, baiting hooks, coaching technique, and managing the drift. Great demeanour, knows the local fish species and wildlife. He kept everyone happy and catching fish the whole day. We landed a dozen species on a beautiful November morning, and kept a few fish for dinner. Would gladly book with him again.

    3 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Absolutely fantastic experience. Captain Stephen really knows his stuff and is super accommodating and ready to help you out and offer any tips and suggestions. Easy-going and friendly personality so he’s super fun and easy to fish with. He also just all around really knows his stuff so if there is fish to be had, you WILL be catching it with him. We had a ton lot luck and will be eating good tonight, thanks to his willingness to clean and filet our fish for us. First mate Cooper was along helping him out too, and also knew a great fishing spot and was eager to help when needed. We will be back!

    What a great day!

    4 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 1 child

    Captain Steve was amazing! He knew exactly where to find the fish, and in just a 4-hour trip, we came home with a cooler full of fish and had caught 7 different species! My boys had the absolute best day ever, and we will definitely be booking with Captain Steve again! We even got to experience fishing through a rain shower, which was actually a welcome reprieve from the Florida heat. Captain Steve cleaned and filleted our entire catch for us and even recommended a local restaurant that will cook it up for us. Talk about the perfect fishing trip from start to finish! If you’re looking for a great fishing charter in the Naples/Marco Island area, we highly recommend Captain Steve!

    Perfect way to wrap up our trip to Marco Island

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    If you're looking for an outstanding inshore fishing charter, Captain Stephen is the one to book! From the moment we arrived, everything was ready to go. He had already been out catching live bait, and the livewell was full, so we were fishing immediately instead of wasting time. Captain Stephen was fantastic with our boys, making the trip fun, engaging, and memorable for the whole family. He knew exactly where to find the fish, and we had an incredible day catching sharks, speckled trout, mangrove snapper, flounder, and jack crevalle. At the end of the trip, he cleaned our catch and even recommended Cocomo's Restaurant, where they cooked our fresh fish to perfection. It was the perfect ending to an amazing day on the water. If you're visiting Marco Island and want a professional, knowledgeable captain who works hard to make sure you have a successful and enjoyable trip, I highly recommend Captain Stephen. We would absolutely book with him again!

    Our 10 year loves fishing but we are only by freshwater. This was a great first experience with salt water! We caught lots of snappers and a stringray! Captain Stephen was very helpful and encouraging. We have beautiful weather and a great trip.
