Marco Island inshore
fishing charters

Snook, redfish and seatrout in the quiet backwaters of the Ten Thousand Islands, on light tackle.

The quiet side of Marco Island fishing

This private inshore charter takes you through calm mangrove backwaters, oyster beds and hidden creeks where snook hide in the roots and redfish patrol the bars.

We cast live bait and artificials into the kind of spots that don’t show up on maps. Expect light-tackle action, steady bites, and a captain who explains the why behind every cast.

Morning or afternoon

Morning trips bring crisp air and moving tides. Afternoons bring golden light, rising water and fish sliding out of the shadows. Choose 2, 4 or 8 hours to fit your day.

“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.”
