We run private&nbsp;fishing charters, shelling trips, and dolphin cruises&nbsp;all around Marco Island, Goodland, and the Ten Thousand Islands. Whether you’re chasing your first Snook or a brag-worthy Grouper, we’ll get you right where the action is.The waters around&nbsp;Marco Island and the Gulf of Mexico&nbsp;are packed with life—from the mangrove backwaters stacked with Redfish and Snapper to the nearshore wrecks crawling with Cobia, Permit, and other hard-fighting favorites. We’ve spent years learning these tides, tracking migrations, and figuring out what the fish are up to when they think no one’s watching.You don’t have to be a pro to fish with us—just bring a good attitude and maybe a little sunscreen. We provide everything else: rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and our best fish stories (some even true).Looking for more than fishing? We also offer&nbsp;combo trips&nbsp;that mix in shelling on secluded beaches, spotting dolphins, and cruising the mangroves. Around here, no two trips are ever the same—because the Gulf always keeps things interesting.So if you’re ready to trade traffic for tides and screens for sea breeze, come join us on the water.&nbsp;Marco Fishing Company&nbsp;is all about great fishing, good company, and stories worth retelling.

Whether you're an early riser or a late-day drifter, this inshore and backwater trip is your ticket to the quiet side of Marco Island—where the snook are sneaky, the redfish are grumpy, and the sea trout bite like they’ve got something to prove.We’ll cruise the calm waters of the mangroves, oyster beds, and hidden creeks, casting live bait and artificials into the kind of fishy spots that don’t show up on maps. Expect light-tackle action, steady bites, and just enough chaos to keep things spicy. Morning trips are all about that crisp air, moving tides, and getting tight before breakfast. Afternoons bring the golden light, rising water, and fish sliding out of the shadows lookin’ for trouble. Great for families, first-timers, seasoned anglers—or anyone who prefers fish stories over traffic. You bring the good vibes, I’ll bring the rods, bait, and a cooler full of stories.

We even start a little later in the morning so you can hit snooze once or twice and still get the kiddos out on the water.

Imagine this: the sun’s just coming up, the water is glassy, and you’re about to embark on the rarest fishing experience in Florida —&nbsp;Manatee Fishing. Your captain will take you straight to the hidden hotspots where these massive “sea cows” roam. We’ll show you the exact bait they can’t resist, teach you the perfect hook set, and…Okay… hold up. We can’t keep a straight face. Here’s the truth — manatee fishing isn’t just illegal, it’s completely ridiculous. These gentle giants are protected, slow-moving vegetarians who wouldn’t bite a hook if their seagrass depended on it. But we thought it would be funny to&nbsp;pretend&nbsp;it’s a thing.Instead, book one of our real fishing trips and enjoy Captain Jamie’s “expert” manatee fishing tips like: <ul><li>“Wave politely and wait for them to wave back.”</li><li>“Sing Barry White to lure them closer.”</li><li>“Offer them a salad. They’re vegetarians, after all.”</li></ul> This trip is 100% a joke, but the laughs, memories, and wildlife sightings? Those are as real as it gets.
