We had an unforgettable experience with this fishing charter in Marco Island! Captain Jonathan was absolutely amazing—so patient, calm, and great with kids. He helped our 5 and 9 year-old boys catch their very first fish, and they were SO EXCITED! He made sure everyone felt comfortable and kept the energy fun and relaxed the whole time. It was such a special memory for our family, and we’re already talking about when we can fish with him again when we come back. Highly recommend for families... More

We had an amazing experience with Red Snarpon Fishing Charter! Captain Jonathon was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we stepped on board. His experience really shone through as he expertly navigated us to the best fishing spots. He was patient, knowledgeable, and eager to share tips to make our trip a success. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the entire outing was a blast. I’d highly recommend Captain Jonathon and Red Snarpon Fishing Charter to anyone looking for a... More

Jonathan was a great captain. We caught lots of different fish including a 4.5ft bull shark. He knew tons of great spots and was patient and informative. My boys had a blast! They are 7 and 9 so I wasn’t sure about 4 hours, but this day flew by and it was the perfect amount of time. We saw some dolphins and various birds along the way as well. My kids will have these core memories for sure. Would def book Jonathan again. This was so worth your money compared to other tours (like shelling.)

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Captain Jonathon Gelman. We took our son and 14 year old grandson (for his first fishing trip). Jonathon took us to various places where we caught plenty of keepers. He was engaging, shared his knowledge of which fish are biting this time of year, was very helpful in making sure we had bait on our hooks and ensured we a good time. We would definitely recommend him for your next fishing trip.

My son and I went out for a 4 hour morning trip on December 30th out of Marco with heavy fog limiting visibility to 50 yards. It could have ruined the trip with a lesser captain, but Jon found us several wonderful spots where we caught over 20 fish and 3 sharks. We were able to take two trout home after Capt. Jon expertly skinned them at the dock. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Red Snarpon Tours!!!!
