My family visits Marco Island every year and we love trying new fishing charters! Captain Randy with Wild Thing Charters exceeded every expectation we had and we will absolutely be using him for our fishing needs when we return. Our charter was set to begin at 8am and we arrived at the marina at 7:40. Captain Randy was there ready to load the boat and the coolers to get us on our way. Our first stop was for bait fish where we got to see Randy expertly cast a net and bring in plenty of bait fish for our entire trip. While he was doing this, we got to see sea turtles and dolphins! Over the course of the day, we caught and released many fish - cobia, shark, various grouper species, and even a 130 lb Tarpon that was jumping like crazy and gave us a run for our money! Before we started the trip, we told him we wanted action & big fish and he delivered! His first mate was awesome in helping the older people on our boat reel in some HUGE fish. Outside of the fishing, the boat was clean, captain and first mate were knowledgeable, and there was a private bathroom. Can’t say enough great things about them and can’t wait for our next trip!
