  Won’t disappoint!

  3 Hour – Sightseeing & Fishing - 1:00 PM on October 11, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We had a great afternoon on the water with Captain Nick! We started the day with a dolphin jumping in our wake and then moved to a few different fishing spots. We caught a bunch of fish (and even a shark!) which kept us all happy and entertained. We finished the day with a quick shelling stop. Nick was friendly and knowledgeable. He kept close watch on the weather and got us to shore just before the thunder started! Highly recommend this trip!

  I Came for Fish and Left with Delusions of Talent

  3 Hour – Sightseeing & Fishing - 1:00 PM on July 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  I booked a fishing charter with Captain Nick, expecting a normal day on the water. Instead, I was subjected to several hours of forced happiness, suspiciously good fishing spots, and the deeply unsettling realization that Nick actually knows what he’s doing. The man had the nerve to be prepared, helpful, funny, and competent the entire time. Every time we thought, “There’s no way this gets better,” Captain Nick would casually make it better, like some sort of fish-whispering sea wizard with a boat payment. The fish were caught. The stories were exaggerated immediately. My confidence as an angler is now dangerously inflated. Book with Captain Nick. Unless you hate having fun, catching fish, and being guided by someone who clearly has no business being this good at his job.

  Absolutely the best trip!

  3 Hour – Sightseeing & Fishing on August 7, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  First of all, Nick was amazing! He greeted us and ensured that we made it on the boat safely. He was very knowledgeable about Marco and the waters so though we were there for fishing we learned a lot. We caught 10-12 fish, including a bonnethead shark! He also took us to small private island for some really great shelling. We were with him for 3 hours and it was likely the best 3 hours of our entire trip!

  Great fishing experience!

  4 Hour Trip on July 7, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Our family went fishing with Captain Nick and had a memorable time. He was knowledgeable, friendly, nice, and patient with us and the kids. He took his time to explain and teach the kids different techniques. Loved how calm he was with some of our inexperience. He has a high respect for the environment. Highly recommend Captain Nick and will be sure to use him next time we go out.

  Listened to requests

  2 Hour Trip on July 20, 2026 • 4 adults

  We did a fishing charter last year in another area of Florida and half of our party did fine, but the other half got seasick because the water was too rough for their sensitive stomachs. We requested an inland charter with Nick, and he made sure to find us as calm waters as possible with the breeze. We caught multiple different species of fish and had a wonderful time.
