Hi, I'm Craig! I was born and raised on the Dutch island of Saba. Ever since I can remember, I have been fishing. My father owns a commercial lobster and fishing boat business, which is where I first found my love for the sport. After my wife and I moved to Key West, FL, I spent several years learning the waters before deciding to pursue my lifelong dream of starting a business. Following in my father's footsteps, I hope to share my love of the water with you and look forward to hosting you on my boat one day soon!

What an enjoyable trip with Captain Craig and Brett. We started off with two King fish right away. The day took off from there catching Mahi Mahi, tuna, and a jumbo Bonita. All along the way they were sharing stories and teaching us about fishing. It is evident that they both love fishing and sharing what they know to their patrons. I am already planning my next adventure on this boat!

Capt. Craig was amazing, we did a 1/2 day trip caught about 30 fish about 10 keepers. Great conversation and his 1st mate was outstanding as well. I’d recommend this charter to anyone looking to catch some fish and have a good time
