My father and I went out on a 4 hour trip with Captain Rio and had a great time. Hit some spots that didn’t disappoint and hooked up on plenty of fish. Rio had the experience to guide us and make us ‘part-time anglers’ look like professionals. We had the privilege of seeing some of the local wildlife too, with dolphins and manatees coming up to say ‘hello’ and put on a show for us. Captain Rio took us on short notice and was a pleasure to work with, kind and courteous with prompt responses to my messages over text and giving us a guideline for what to bring to have us comfortable on the vessel. Definitely a trip worth taking and remembering. Thanks Captain Rio!

I recently had the pleasure of booking a last-minute fishing trip with Captain Rio Adventures, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. Captain Rio was not only great company but also extremely knowledgeable about the best fishing spots in the area. Despite the short notice, he took the time to teach my son and his friends various fishing techniques, making the trip educational and enjoyable for everyone.

Captain Rio’s expertise and guidance made him stand out as the best charter boat captain we have ever encountered. His passion for fishing was evident, and he shared his wealth of knowledge with us throughout the trip. We were thrilled when we managed to catch a wide variety of fish, including a massive 40+ pound Goliath grouper. It was a remarkable achievement that we will never forget.

I can confidently say that when our family returns to Marco Island, we will definitely be booking another fishing adventure with Captain Rio. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine love for what he does make him the ideal choice for anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing experience. Thank you, Captain Rio, for an amazing day on the water!

I booked a charter with Captain Rio for myself, husband, 2 teenage daughters and my father. We took the early slot and had a wonderful morning of fishing. Captain Rio is very knowledgeable and a life long fisherman. He taught my girls all about fishing and was always there with a helpful hand and a great fishing story. We caught plenty of fish and my youngest daughter was the winner of the day with most fish caught. Captain Rio cleaned our fish and sent us along with some great family memories. Next time we are in town will definitely give book with him.

My wife, daughters (6 and 9) and I spent 6 hours fishing with Captain Rio. We had an amazing time with him. We caught a variety fish from catfish and grouper, to sharks and tarpon! If we had a line in the water, we were catching fish. We are from the Midwest and have very little experience fishing for saltwater fish, so I enjoyed Captain Rio’s willingness to teach us new things and allowing me to get my hands dirty while trying out these newly taught skills.

Captain Rio was ready to go as soon as we arrived at his boat. You can tell he takes great pride in his boat and it is very well kept. He also did a great job having my daughters out with us. As any parent knows, it is great to see your kids having fun and the person you are with having fun with them.

If you are in the Marco area and want to have an enjoyable fishing trip with a great captain and catch a lot of fish, Captain Rio’s you guy! Thanks again for a great time!
