Welcome aboard! We’re the crew behind&nbsp;Marco Fishing Company, and if you’re looking to experience what fishing Marco Island, Florida is&nbsp;really&nbsp;about—you’ve found your people. 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.
