So fun we booked it twice! - Jason is a terrific captain- very knowledgeable about fishing in the waters around Marco. Our first outing included dolphins, shelling and fishing. We had such a great time, we decided to go back to Jason for a 4 hour fishing only trip, Jason is super patient and very service oriented, making sure we always had bait, helping us get fish off our lines and fileting the catch! His boat is clean and he is a very safe driver. A highlight of our second outing was when Jason used a smaller fish we had caught as bait to attract a Goliath grouper. The fishing pole and line were massive and the battle to reel in the fish was very exciting.

Great day on the water - Captain Colt was excellent. Great day fishing and shelling. No parking available for cars in parking lot. Got ticketed for parking in the only place available

4 Hour Shell and Fishing Trip for the Family - What a great trip by a great captain. Didn’t feel rushed and he did a great job at taking care of us. Fishing was steady and everything was very memorable. Thank you Jason.

Hands Down the Best Charter in Marco Island - If you’re just looking for a typical day on the water… don’t book with 4thStoryCharters. But if you want one of the most memorable, unique experiences you can have in SWFL, this is the captain you want. This trip was a grand slam — we saw it all. We caught a variety of fish, saw a ton of wildlife, and ended the day with one of the most beautiful sunset views in Florida! I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and have spent countless days on boats, but my trip with Captain Jason was on another level! We had four dolphins riding the wake multiple times, spotted stingrays, sea turtles, and even a roseate spoonbill, which is a rare sight in the mangroves. On top of that, we reeled in grouper, snapper, jack crevalle, sea trout… the list goes on! Another thing that made this trip stand out was the boat itself — it was genuinely perfect. Cushions for the sunset cruise, plenty of space for fishing, and an incredibly smooth ride where you barely feel a thing on the water. It made every part of the day that much better. Fishing charters can be expensive, and it’s tough to find a captain who truly makes it worth it. Jason absolutely does. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the 10,000 Islands and Marco Island area, super friendly, and great with kids. The whole day felt relaxed, fun, and unforgettable. Also, don’t skip the sunset and shelling tour.. the island he takes you to feels like a remote island in the Caribbean! If you want a charter that genuinely stands out, book with Jason. Easily one of the best days I’ve ever had on the water!

Perfect day on the water - This was the perfect charter for myself and two daughters 12 abd 15 and get everything into one trip. From the shelling to the pod of dolphin putting on a show behind the boat and capped off with my daughter’s catching their first Shark. This is the perfect charter, and all around amazing day on the water!

Amazing fun- must do - We had such a wonderful time! Jason made sure our entire experience was fabulous. He took us to a beautiful island filled with incredible shells — the kids had a blast collecting stunning fighting conch shells. We were even lucky enough to spot an alligator out in the ocean and a lone dolphin swimming by! Fishing started off slow, with several missed spots, but eventually, all three kids caught two fish each — including a bonnethead shark! It was an unforgettable experience, and Jason went above and beyond to make sure we had fun every step of the way.

We enjoyed our fishing... - We enjoyed our fishing trip! Jason was a great captain, answered all of our questions. So exciting to see the dolphins play in the waves behind our boat. Everyone caught multiple fish and a sting ray(even though it broke the line just as it got to the surface)! We will definitely book a trip again when we come back!

Dolphins and Shells - Captain Jason gave us a great experience! We’ve been on lots of boat excursions and we’ve never seen dolphins up close like we did today! It was so awesome! We also visited an island and had a wonderful time finding our shells. Thank you Jason for a great time!

We had an awesome day... - We had an awesome day with Jason out shelling and absolutely crushed it on the fishing after. Both my kids had a great time and asked when we can go out again.

Perfect day on the water with Cptn. Jason - Amazing day on the water with Captain Jason. He put us on amazing fish. Saw turtles, sharks, and incredible dolphin experience. Shelling on Lice was incredible. Highly recommend.
