I took a morning trip with Captain Rio with my wife and father. From the beginning of the morning, Captain Rio put us on fish. We had a great time and caught plenty of fish for a couple meals during our vacation. Captain Rio is a great guide and will put you on fish. Thanks for a great morning Captain Rio.

We had a fun afternoon with Capt Rio. He knows the back waters well and put us on fish. We even hooked a HUGE “mystery fish” that was big enough to break off a 400lb leader. Lots of Mangrove snappers, some catfish, a jack of some sort. Very personable captain who did everything to make the trip fun.

Rio’s boat was super clean!  He was very entertaining and my family of 6 had an awesome time!  Four hours goes by real quick!!  We hit two spots in that time. Rio was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had about Marco, fishing, gear choices, shore rigs, etc. My son caught his first Goliath grouper!  We also caught sea trout, tons of lady fish, one flounder, and a stingray.  We saw dolphins and stingrays too! Thanks again Rio!

We have been on many fishing charters and we have been skunked many times. Not with Captain Rio, he broke my losing streak and I caught a Goliath grouper I could barely lift with two hands!!!Everyone on board caught fish. Captain Rio also contacted us the night before our trip to tell us about questionable weather and offered us to reschedule next day. It was perfect! He was an attentive Captain and was invested in our success. Highly recommend.

Brought my two boys on a 6 hour trip.  We had a complete day seeing dolphins feet from the boat and caught 40-50 fish.  We stopped counting after the first 2 stops and it was action all day.  Once a spot slowed down, captain Rio brought us to another and we were back in action. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable and great with kids.  He kept them engaged and we look forward to booking again next time we visit Marco Island.
