Offshore Fishing Charters

Offshore Fishing in Marco Island

Offshore fishing in Marco Island typically involves running into the Gulf to fish reefs, ledges, and bottom structure. Conditions offshore can change quickly, which means trips are scheduled with weather and sea state in mind.

Rather than forcing offshore trips on marginal days, offshore fishing is planned around windows when conditions allow for safe travel and productive fishing.

What to Expect on an Offshore Fishing Charter

An offshore fishing charter typically involves running into Gulf waters to fish structure and bottom areas that hold seasonal species. The pace of the day is influenced by travel time, sea conditions, and how fish are holding at the time.
