  3 Hour Trip on September 24, 2026 • 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!

  Great day on the water!

  Half Day Trip on September 14, 2026 • 2 adults

  My wife and I showed up to the dock, got on the boat, sat down and took off. After a quick cruise, because we wanted keepers, we were on fish. we hit up a bu ch of spots and caught a bunch of keepers. We caught snappers, snook, cats, jacks and a sting ray. We had a blast. Constantly catching fish. A great morning!!! Captain Stephen, thanks man!! And the tunes were perfect for us too. Will look him up if and when we come back to the Marco Island area.

  What a great day!

  Half Day Trip on August 26, 2026 • 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

  Half Day Trip on July 16, 2026 • 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!

  Good Times!

  3 Hour Trip on May 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  We had an amazing experience with Wishin’ I Was Fishin Charters in Marco Island! Captain Steve was incredibly knowledgeable, not just about fishing, but also about the local wildlife and ecosystem. We caught snook and plenty of mangrove snapper, and had action throughout the trip, which kept everyone excited. He was especially great with my daughter, constantly keeping her engaged, teaching her about the fish and wildlife around us, and making sure she stayed interested the entire time. The boat was clean, the scenery was beautiful. It was one of the highlights of our Florida trip and felt like so much more than just a fishing charter. Highly recommend for experienced anglers looking for a memorable day on the water, or for families looking to make unforgettable memories together! 🎣
