Marco Island is an easygoing Gulf town where genteel marinas open onto rich inshore grounds. Boaters here work the Marco River, Capri Pass, and the northern Ten Thousand Islands, and the fishing runs deep — Snook, Redfish, Tarpon headline the local catch. With 2 public launch points in and around town, getting on the water is rarely the hard part; deciding where to point the bow is.
