fishing captains
USCG licensed captains with deep local knowledge, led by owner Captain Jamie Cox.
The captains
Local knowledge on every trip
Every captain is USCG licensed, and every one of them fishes these waters year-round.
Capt. Jamie Cox
Owner & captain
The driving force behind Marco Fishing Company. Jamie runs inshore, nearshore and backwater charters out of Goodland and the Ten Thousand Islands, and teaches as much as he fishes, from casting technique to how tides move the bite.
Capt. Dominic Pappalardo
Inshore & offshore
Loves chasing redfish tight to structure and spends plenty of time offshore. A Florida State graduate and tournament competitor with an eye for detail.
Capt. Landon Ashabranner
Inshore & sharks
Traded Indiana for salt water, fished the Florida Keys and worked aboard the American Patriot offshore boat. Off the clock he’s usually beach fishing for sharks.
Capt. Matt Bui
Inshore & pompano
Spends summers running salmon and halibut charters in Alaska. Back home he loves chasing pompano, and he’s the marine mechanic who keeps the fleet running.
Capt. Adam Bort
Inshore & offshore
Years of charters in the Florida Keys before bringing his easygoing style to Naples and Marco Island, from snook and redfish to tarpon and grouper.
Capt. Tex Riggs
Charters & tours
USCG licensed captain and certified EMT with a background in fishing and sightseeing tours and passenger safety.

“So we met Capt. Cox (Jamie). He was knowledgeable of the area, cracked a few jokes and put us on some fun fish. The best part was going from sea to plate: we took our catch to the Crabby Lady around the corner and they cooked it for us.”

“Captain Dominic is a consummate professional and a blast to fish with. He worked incredibly hard to put us on a ton of redfish during our 4 hour charter.”
Magda Waller · Inshore charter

“Perfect fishing trip! We brought our 3 and 5 year old, and Landon was patient and helpful. We each got multiple fish and had a great time!”
