Captain Marc Laurin will be at the helm as you enjoy one of the best West Florida fishing charters. A Florida native, Capt. Marc grew up fishing the inshore and offshore waters of Palm Beach County. Over the course of his many years of fishing in Florida, he has developed a strong passion for Florida fishing and being out on the water. He started running fishing charters in Sarasota so he could share that passion with others and show everyone just how much fun fishing in Sarasota can be.

Your fishing trip with Capt. Marc will begin in Sarasota, FL. Capt. Marc will do everything possible to make sure your trip is a success. He will take you to where the bite is hot, so you may end up exploring the nearby fishing grounds of Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Casey Key, Manatee River, Perico Boyou, Terra Ceia, Bayshore Gardens, Bradenton, and many other wonderful locations near the Sarasota Bay in West Florida.

Fishing will be done aboard Capt. Marc’s 23ft Skeeter bay boat which makes Sarasota fishing charters a dream come true. She is run off a 200hp Yamaha engine that can reach cruising speeds up to 47 knots. She has enough room for you and 3 other guests to enjoy West Florida fishing in comfort. While out on the water, you will see that this fishing vessel is equipped with a GPS, cooler, fishfinder, livewell, power poles, a wireless trolling motor, and all the latest safety equipment needed for a safe trip.

We offer 4, 6, and 8-hour trips cover the nearshore and inshore waters of Sarasota. A special 3-guest trip specifically targeting Tarpon is available for the months of May, June, and July. All of your trips with us will include rods, reels, tackle, lures, bait, and a fishing license. Fly fishing equipment can be provided for those interested. After the trip, we will clean and fillet each catch you are able to keep.

The Sarasota area offers a vast array of fishing opportunities and Capt. Marc will make sure you exploit them fully. While out on nearshore waters we love to target the likes of Cobia, Kingfish, Snapper, Grouper, and many more! Inshore, we tend to chase after Pompano, Snook, Trout, Redfish, and plenty more.

Best half day with Captain Marc
Are you looking for/researching the best Fishing Charter in Sarasota? You Found it! Captain Marc is simply the best Charter Captain we’ve ever had in several years of such charters! He was early to the dock; wasted no time getting us out on the water to fish. Marc is a knowledgeable, he knows where to go and how long to stay. He is a patient teacher especially after getting the hook stuck in the rocks repeatedly. Add that he is very personable… we had a fantastic day! Thank you!

Best fishing experience!
The only regret I have about this trip is I should have booked a whole day! Marc is a highly knowledgeable, very professional Captain and guide. Our half day on the water was the best fishing experience I have had in years. He was well prepared, his tackle and boat were clean and prepped for the trip, and I was perfectly comfortable within the first 2 minutes talking to him. His demeanor with my son was a wonderfully pleasant and highly educational experience and we are already planning our next charter!! Book with FOF, you won’t regret it!

I recommend Captain Marc!
Can’t beat the value. Capt Marc had his work cut out for him on our trip- terrible cold spell, high winds, rough water. He worked hard to find us fish in tough conditions and we found them! Reds, trout, sheepshead, mackerel and a few others were landed.. he had us fishing in different spots different styles to find different fish. We saw dolphins and loads of birds—watch out for those pesky buggers that wanna steal your fish!!!! 🤣🤣 I’d recommend Capt Marc and would book again.
