About Your Guide

13 Years of Experience

Captain Brad was born and raised in Massachusetts. After graduating from Princeton University, he moved to the Florida Keys in 1979 to pursue a fishing career. For many years Capt. Brad operated corporately owned sportfishers which were available for charter on the Caribbean fishing circuit. This included winters in the Fl Keys, spring on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, and summer in St. Thomas USVI. Brad also spent 5 fall seasons fishing Venezuela. It's safe to say he knows the Caribbean inside and out!

Captain Brad clearly knows this water and how to put you on the fish you want. Fully equipped for the sails we wanted (kites, balloons, and all the gear to get them in&out quickly). Mate took great care of us.

Captain Brad and Mick were first class. The boat and equipment were impeccably kept. Their attention to detail was noticed and appreciated. Mick was the hardest working mate I’ve ever been around. We did two trips with them. The first was a 4-Hour reef trip ...Read More
