Venice Marina
Captains Willy, Bob, Jordan, and Chad have built a strong reputation in Venice, Louisiana, consistently putting clients on fish even when conditions don't cooperate. The recurring theme across reviews is persistence, with captains willing to run further, adjust plans, and break from the pack to find productive water. The boats are described as well-maintained and high-end, and the gear matches that standard. Inshore and offshore trips both get strong marks, with yellowfin tuna, redfish, wahoo, and snapper all showing up in catches. Captain Jordan stands out for his patience with beginners on inshore trips, while Captains Willy and Bob draw repeat customers on the offshore side. The booking and communication process also gets consistent praise, with staff helping plan logistics like lodging and transportation well in advance. One negative review flagged a frustrating trip where clients felt left on the sidelines, though this appears to be an outlier given the overwhelmingly positive pattern across hundreds of reviews. For anyone planning an offshore or inshore trip out of Venice, the experience here seems genuinely solid across multiple captains and trip styles.
This trip was a dream of mine for years! Got done waiting on friends so I went out with just my girl for my birthday. Ended up getting fired from my job because I was going on this trip one way or another... And it was worth it! (Sent a picture to the old boss) I had booked for Capt Willy and but ending up going out with Capt Bob. Wonderful captain and fisherman, he knows his stuff and got me to beat 2 PBs and catch a few new species! His mate was a little newer to the game, we had lost a fish when we got back to dock. Vessel was clean and in great shape! Good fishing gear, great vessel (those freemans are great riding boats), they even had bean bag chair for us! Heads up, no head on the vessel, wasn't a problem. Can't wait to go again!! Thanks team super strike!
