Some first hand testimonials from today’s trip they didn’t have a Google account to leave a review but wanted to say thanks!

We couldn’t have had a better day; great weather, calm waters, fantastic Captain and first class equipment. We were reeling them in as fast as you would take the fish off the hook and recharge, we would drop the hook, BANG, another catch. Thank you for being so instructional and friendly. I look forward to another day on your boat!

-Phil

What a great day! It started out slow, trying to catch the fresh bait but WOW! was it worth it. As soon as we put our lines in the water we couldn’t pull the fish in fast enough. I was thoroughly impressed with your knowledge and your extra effort to make our experience great. My arms got tired of pulling in fish. Over the top. You made it happen!!!

I have Chartered Captain Bobby Z many times over the past several years for trips with family, friends and clients. I find him to be professional, and works very hard to make sure the trip enjoyable for all.
This past weekend Bobby found us fish every where we went. Not only did we end up with a full cooler, but freezer as well.

Fun day on the water lots of species here’s a few we took pictures of. We got mutton snapper, African pompano, permit, yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, gag grouper and many more! Have a boat don’t have the gear or know where to go give me a call! If you don’t have a boat we can always book a 1/2, 3/4 or full day on my Parker!

You just want me for my bait I see through you. Nice to have a little visit today non the less.

Big Z Charters - Captain Bobby Zwerin

As one of the few Charter Captains that was raised on Marco Island fishing I have spent many years transforming my passion into my profession. I have been professionally Charter Fishing around Marco Island for 4 years, putting clients on fish of all species including our popular sport fish and other quality fish for dinner. Regardless if you’re a fisherman wanting to go out for a trophy or just the a family wanting to go out for a fun day of fishing, you will have a great time catching fish and enjoying the water and sights Marco Island has to offer.

A lot of people have a concern that “well I don’t know what I am doing and I don’t want to feel out of place or even silly for charting a boat” but that is actually the opposite of reality. The reality is most clients and families who Charter a boat have little to no experience at all, which is the exact reason to charter a boat, so someone like me with a lifetime of experience can help facilitate your experience on the water fishing and enjoying boating worry free for a day you won’t soon forget! Young children are also frequent guests on the boat, I am very family oriented and able to teach young kids fishing fundamentals that they can not only use in fishing for the day your with me, but maybe develop skills and possible a passion for enjoying the outdoors and fishing as I have. My goal is to help others enjoy fishing or being on the water as much as I do, and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

My Backstory: As a child I grew up fishing off shore with my father on his boat, as well as fishing all around the island on my bike with my friends. As I grew older I began expanding my reach, taking a boat out when I could to explore more of the Ten Thousand Islands. Through seemingly countless years my friends and I fished for anything and everything the island had to offer, from large migrating tarpon to our Island resident Snook and Redfish, and off shore for everything from Goliath Grouper to migrating Black Fin Tuna. After I graduated high school I joined the coast guard where I spent a total of 6 years. During which time I had earned enough days on the water to get my 100 gross ton master captains license, which should help you feel at ease when I take you and your family on the water.
