Fishing Charters in Marco Island, Florida

Our Marco Island Fishing Charter specializes in backwater fishing, or backcountry fishing, which focuses on the extensive networks of bays, mangrove islands, and tidal creeks that permeate our region. Marco Island, the largest and northernmost of the 10,000 islands of Southwest Florida, is a paradise for anglers. With six miles of white sand beach and over 24 square miles of diverse habitats, it’s home to a wide variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, burrowing owls, brown pelicans, dolphins, and manatees. The island’s thousands of miles of shoreline, countless oyster bars, and acres of seagrass beds attract an abundance of saltwater fish.

Target Florida's Most Sought-After Game Fish

In the waters surrounding Marco Island, you’ll find four of Florida’s most prized game fish: Snook, Redfish, Spotted Sea Trout, and Tarpon. Thousands of anglers flock to Marco Island every year for their chance at achieving a “Grand Slam” – catching one of each of these species in a single day. The region’s excellent fishing reputation is bolstered by the vast tracts of fresh and saltwater wetlands protected by state and federal laws, ensuring a thriving ecosystem for these sought-after fish.

Diverse Marine Life and Nearshore Adventures

The list of species found in Marco Island waters could practically fill a book. The backwaters are also home to Jack Crevalle, Pompano, and Sheepshead. If you’re interested in booking a nearshore fishing charter to the Gulf, you’ll find the waters brimming with Tripletail, Barracuda, and King Mackerel. Venture out to deeper waters, and you’ll come across Snapper, Grouper, and Cobia, providing a diverse and exciting fishing experience for all skill levels.

Fortunately, we only mean “ferocious” when it comes to the spirited fight these fish give.
