Went out twice with Captain Rio, each time with different family members, and both trips were awesome. The positive vibe and fun atmosphere really set this charter apart. This was a half-day inshore trip out of Marco Island, and it was relaxed, well-run, and a blast for everyone onboard. He’s upbeat, knowledgeable, and great at keeping things fun. Two trips, two great experiences. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

Captain Rio was awesome!! We had a great trip and he made the whole experience a blast. He’s funny, easygoing, and a really great guide who knows what he’s doing. We caught fish and had a ton of fun during our two hour adventure. I’d definitely recommend booking with Captain Rio if you’re looking for a fun day on the water! I will be booking another trip once I make my way back to Naples. Thanks, Rio! 🎣

If you understand nature and fishing and appreciate the simple fact that you’re on the water loving life, it only gets better when the fish bite hard! Captain Rio was a lot of fun to hang out with. We really appreciated the history and knowledge along with sightseeing as we cruised around to different spots. We saw dolphins a bunch of times, a manatee, and soaked... Meer

We took a 6 hr AM trip with Capt. Rio. - Family of 5 (kids ages 13,8,7).  Capt. did a great job of making sure each person caught fish at the right skill level.  He was very laid back and let us fish, cast, bait own hooks, and drive the boat.  Very patient with the kids.  We hooked up on snook, snappers, and a 80+lb Goliath grouper!  Targeted tarpon at the end.  Had them circling the boat but they just wouldn’t bite.  It’s their first season in the Gulf of America and they have not...
