5.00We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Marc in Sarasota! He was upbeat, patient, and clearly knows these waters inside and out. He put us right on the fish — we caught plenty of sea trout, redfish, and snook — and learned a lot along the way. Captain Marc made the whole trip fun and stress-free, whether we were casting, reeling, or just soaking up the scenery. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience in Sarasota, we highly recommend booking with him!

5.00Sometimes things are meant to be. And I'd say that a random call to Capt. Marc solidified my belief that there aren't coincidences. Marc provided an exceptional experience for my wife, son, good friend, and me. Fish were hooked and landed on the first two casts (maybe first 3-4 casts). 10 minutes in and Capt Marc had already made our day. The entire four-plus hours with Capt. Marc were enjoyable with at least 10 species of fish caught and nine keepers that Marc filleted as soon as we docked. We had a great fish fry that night, even using Marc's teriyaki recipe for grilling. I was sure to save his number because I'll be calling him again to bring my other son to fish. Thanks for working hard for us (lots of bait changes, re-tying lines, and taking fish of the hook) and providing our family a memorable experience. Shane
