Had a fantastic outing with Captain Thomas! I brought along my 6-year-old son, and we both had a wonderful experience. Captain Jamie was engaging, hands-on, and extremely knowledgeable—I highly recommend this trip. It was our first time fishing the backwaters of Marco Island, and Captain Adventures along with Captain Jamie made everything simple and fun. This is a great recommendation for anyone interested in fishing around Marco Island.
What a great time! Jamie is a fantastic guide. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip with him.
Dominic was our captain and the experience was wonderful—we caught numerous fish species and had a blast. I have limited mobility, and Dominic went above and beyond, spending extra time helping my brother find a wheelchair and assisting me back to the dock. That kind of dedication shows true professionalism!
We also took a tour with Captain Thomas, which was outstanding. His knowledge about the fish and tides was impressive. We look forward to booking this charter again.
Our afternoon fishing trip was excellent. The guide was experienced and super friendly, making the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Captain Thomas accommodated us on short notice and made everything seamless. Had a fantastic time and will definitely book again when we return.
You can cancel your booking without any charges up to 48 hours prior to the trip and the amount will be credited back to your account. If you cancel less than 48 hours before the trip, the deposit will be retained by the guide. Cancelling on the day of the trip or failing to show up will result in the full trip cost being charged to your card.
All necessary gear will be provided, and cold water will be available on the boat. We suggest bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, clothing suitable for the weather, and any other personal items you may want during the trip.
Morning in the backwaters is truly a special time — the tide is shifting, fish are actively feeding, and the day’s stresses haven’t yet set in. We’ll explore the intricate mangrove channels and shallow bays surrounding Marco Island, hunting snook, redfish, sea trout, jack crevalle, and any other species eager to challenge your drag. You'll be casting into narrow spots, skipping lures beneath branches, and quickly realizing why this is known as the game for thoughtful anglers. This is prime light-tackle fishing—ideal for early birds, beginners, seasoned pros, or anyone seeking a tranquil atmosphere punctuated by thrilling moments when a snook strikes unexpectedly. Don’t forget your hat, sunglasses, and a good sense of humor. I’ll provide the equipment, stories, and expertise to have you hooked up well before most people’ve finished their breakfast.
