Nearshore Fishing Charters
The Best Marco Island Nearshore Fishing Adventure
Our nearshore fishing charters cater to all ages and skill levels, whether you are a seasoned angler or just beginning. Our experienced captains will provide instruction, guidance, and knowledge throughout the trip to ensure a successful fishing experience.
What to Expect
On a given nearshore fishing trip on the Parker, you will fish up to 9 miles offshore.
Many people are more comfortable staying closer to land and thus our 4 hour trip allows for a nearshore experience within sight of land. On a 6 hour nearshore trip, we will venture deeper into the nearshore water of Marco Island. On a 8 hour nearshore charter you will experience an action packed fishing experience, where man made structures and sunken boats are very productive.
Potential Target Species
We target many species throughout the year depending on the seasons, including:
Tarpon
Gag Grouper
Goliath Grouper
Sharks
Snappers
Cobia
Permit
Barracudas
Our captains have extensive knowledge on the best spots and techniques for catching these fish, ensuring an exciting and diverse trip.
