All
of our backcountry fishing trips start out from Caxambas Marina,
located on the southern end of Marco Island, the gate way
to the 10,000 islands. Check map for
details. Once aboard, you’re only a minute away from
your fishing spots!
What’s included:
Florida fishing license, all fishing tackle necessary for
the fishing charter, cooler with ice, bait, fillet and bagging
of your catch.
What to bring on
your fishing charter:
Polarized glasses, camera, hat, sunscreen 30spf, loose fitting
light-weight clothing, drinks (water) and snacks. Please wear non-marking sole shoes. No Black Or Marking Sole shoes permitted.
What you can expect:
Travel distance from one backcountry fishing spot to another
is kept down to a minimal, and depends on the length of the
charters booked. I believe in keeping running time down and
spending more time with lines in the water. This is
a fishing trip - not just another boat ride. What
you can expect to see are indigenous birds such as brown and
white Pelicans, Bald Eagles, Roseate Spoonbill, Great Blue
Herons and White Ibis. In the water you can expect to see
Bottle Nose Dolphins, Manatees, Sea Turtles, and schools of
bait fish as you travel through the endless chains of mangrove
islands and open water. It’s not uncommon to find yourself
lost within minutes from leaving the dock, and you may never
see another boat while fishing.
When fishing in the backwaters,
you will be fishing exclusively in the remote waters along
mangroves shorelines and not in canals behind homes.
As your captain, I am committed in protecting this fascinating
and complex ecosystem, so let me capture a picture of your trophy game fish for a lifetime memory. I can fillet some species
of fish for dinner and recommend which restaurants can cook
your catch.

Cancellation Policy:
Cancellation initiated by you must be made before fourteen
(14) days of your booked fishing charter date. The deposit
can be transferred for another day of fishing or refunded
to you. Any cancellations due to weather related conditions
is the sole discretion of the Captain Carlos Escarra. Your
safety is of my first and foremost importance; however rain
squalls appear and dissipate quickly in South Florida. It
could be raining in one area and be completely dry and sunny
in another. If your charter is canceled by Captain Carlos
Escarra, then you will have the choice to re-book for another
day or receive a full refund.
