Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?

Large wahoos! Yum!

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

Certainly some version of surf and turf! Could include anything from the classic steak and lobster (Florida lobster!) ribs and shrimp to sushi rolls and whatever else is in the fridge. While totally amateur I enjoy every aspect of cooking.

Whats your favorite band?

You can expect to listen to classic rock 60-90s country and reggae. Likely all within the same trip aboard the happy day 3! Like all genres of music. Some of my favorites include Zepplin, Aerosmith, the stones, sublime, Waylon, randy Travis, all sorts of lessor known reggae artists and a ton more.

Whats your favorite movie?

Christmas vacation.

Whats your favorite sports team?

Jaguars!

Whats your drink of choice?

It’s hard to beat an ice cold Coca Cola… On days off I’m a lover of cheap beer and on a Friday night a couple rum drinks

What was your last halloween costume?

A shark!

What do you want for Christmas this year?

A hippopotamus

How did you get started guiding?

My uncle was an owner operator based out of the North eastern US/key west. I naturally had a love for water and fish. But when I saw the lifestyle I fell in love with it. I knew from a young age it’s all I wanted to do.

What makes you different from other guides?

As much as possible I always recommend booking directly with an owner operator as this provides the most hands on experience and flexibility with the day of our outing. You can ensure you’ll also be fishing with a well motivated and knowledgeable individual. I consider myself a Jack of all trades. From blue water trolling to fishing redfish in a couple inches of water I enjoy it all. This takes my customers to some crazy unique locations depending on the time of year and target species. I do all of this while providing a relaxed, safe and family friendly environment. But that’s not to say if an all day hardcore trip is desired I can’t provide that as well. One of the frequent questions I get asked routinely is “what do you do on your days off?” I fish!

You're all set! You don't need to buy a license for this trip.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

The deposit for this trip is non-refundable (but if the weather is too bad to go out, you will still receive a credit back to your account).

If the weather doesn’t cooperate you’ll be covered by our 100% weather guarantee and you won’t lose your deposit.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
