We saw dolphins multiple times, found great shells, caught 5 different types of fish, and a shark!! I think Cole was our guide (I'm horrible with remembering names). He was amazing with our kids and very patient. Our group was Grammy, myself and husband, and our 3 kids (7, 10 and 10 years old).

Kevin was great! It was my husband, 2 kids (8&9) and myself. We saw dolphins up close, we fished and Kevin even got my 9yr old daughter to try and enjoy fishing! He told my 8yr old he’d try and get him to catch a shark and he did just that! We found a lot of nice intact shells to bring home. We would absolutely take another trip with Kevin.
Wonderful time

Captain Jason was just what we needed. Relaxed, knowledgeable, no pressure and put everyone at ease. Perfect amount of timing for shelling and exploring. We saw dolphins and with his expertise he made this extra fun. We all caught a variety of fish with his expertise about locations.
Great captain, great boat, perfect experience

Captain Kevan was great and our 4 hours on his super clean boat were most enjoyable. our guide was patient with us, novice fishermen and helped us catch more than a dozen fish. The tour was well paced and both relaxing and fun. 4 hours of fishing would have been too much for us, so this was a great combo tour with lots of time for exploring, fishing, learning and relaxing.
12/10 Family Trip!

8a start w Captain Jason of 4th story charters leaving out of Goodland, FL - right near Marco Island. He took us out last year and we couldn’t wait to get out with him again. We exchanged texts over the previous few days figuring out if we were going to stay back in the thousand islands for snapper and snook or go out near shore for goliath grouper. After checking with other captains Captain Jason recommended we go 13 miles south to a wreck to fish for permit. Great call - we barely got the first rod in the water before a permit was on the line. These fish are fun and nephew Joey wrestled him in after a 20 minute fight. Ten minutes later Joey hooked another one and turned to his cousin Robbie to muscle it in - both were 20-25 pounds and about 32 inches. Captain Jason had us mix in some bottom fishing with two rods while the other two targeted more permit. The bottom fishers caught some sheepshead snappers and jacks. The older guys on the boat lined up a couple more permit but lost them before we could get them close. Captain Jason moved us to another hotspot a few minutes away for more action and Robbie landed another big permit to close out the morning. We were back at the dock by noon where Captain Jason cleaned our fish and sent us off to the Snook Inn over in Marco with our fresh catch. The Snook Inn took our catch and we had half of it blackened and the other half fried. Fantastic lunch. Fantastic day on the water. Highly recommend.
Kevin is the guy if you want a stress free excursion.

Kevin was awesome. Five stars, and I don’t give five stars out easily. His demeanor was perfect for our group. Easy, relatable and flexible in agenda. He was extremely knowledgeable of the environment, the ecosystem, the fishing, and great to work with. He gauged our group to see what type of fishing made sense and adjusted as we progressed. Really great time and will absolutely book again.
