I first came to Marco Island in 1984 on vacation and like so many others fell instantly in love with the area. I moved to Marco in 1987 became a Scuba Diving instructor and opened a full service retail Dive Shop called Aqua Adventures. I have logged over 1000 dives offshore of Marco Island, which gives me unique perspective of all the wrecks artificial reefs and natural reefs in the area. I have always been a avid fisherman so it was a easy decision to start running some fishing charters to keep the boat busy over time the fishing charters took over and here I am 30 years later.

    Fun with Goliath Groupers

    4 Hour Trip (AM)4 adults

    Went for the 4hr moring trip. eater fish hadnt been good lately so captain recommended going for the golaiths. we had a great time catching 12-15 fish that were all super fun, we didnt even land the 2 biggest. first hand/son worked really hard the entire time. we only used 1 reel for the 4 of us, but trading turns worked well and the fish were so big it would have been very difficult to handle 2 at same time. everyone in our group left with a smile and agreed we’d all do this trip again anytime. wouldnt hesitate to book with them again.

    Reported catch:
    Goliath Grouper

    Great Fishing Time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

    Had a great time fishing with Captain Randy and Henry…. Great crew!! We caught a large grouper, 75+ lbs. and caught enough mackerel to make dinner for the family. Would definitely recommend this charter and can’t wait to come back.

What's biting with Wild Thing Charters in Marco Island

If you haven't made it offshore yet, now is the time! You can still catch Barracuda, Cobia, Goliath Grouper, and now King Mackerel. Bottom fish for some Snapper and Grouper while you're at it.
