Marco Island Off Shore Charter Recommendation

Heading down at the end of March, looking for any recommendations on a charter/ captain. There’s 4 of us including my then 8 year old son and just looking for half a day.

We’ve done the whole park off a wreck and catch sheepshead and mackerel every other cast thing. That’s pretty boring but I’m the only one into really getting after something different. Thinking maybe 2 hours of the wreck thing and then seeing if the captain is open to something a bit more adventurous.

Any recommendations welcome...

Half day charter will never get you out far enough. They have their set spots. If you ask the captain to motor out to a grouper spot, be ready to only fish that spot or one other. I would be looking at a flats trip in the 10,000 islands area. That would be more fun.

I always trust trip advisor when looking for a guide- especially with kids involved. They haven't let me down yet.

One of my high school classmates just started his own charter. However, it doesn't involve fishing and is adult only. :wink: :chug:

The details are blurry, but I had an excellent day at Marco Island. Weather and fish were excellent- this was November tho.

Hope you you have a good trip.

Thx, I’d like to do a day in the flats but that’s a solo trip (ie not with the kid).

Kind of figured I may just be ok with what’s available for a half day.

I'll ask around with my guys down in Naples.
