Growing up on Marco Island, Florida, all Capt. TJ ever wanted to do was fish. As a kid, he caught anything that would bite—often off the docks using rods and gear “borrowed” from his father’s charter boat. He spent nearly every day of his childhood on the water: fishing, scuba diving, and working on boats throughout the Gulf of Mexico. That passion never faded.

Over the years, Capt. TJ turned his love for all things salty into a career. His expertise led to appearances in multiple fishing shows, magazine features, and major boat shows. Today, that same passion fuels one of the most reputable and versatile fishing fleets on Florida’s west coast.

A Fleet Built for Every Adventure

Whether you’re chasing trophy fish offshore or planning a fun family day on the water, we have the perfect platform for your trip. Our fleet includes:

• 33’ Southport Center Console – Fast, versatile, and ideal for deep-sea action

How did you get started guiding?
My dad was an epic guide. Following in his footsteps
What makes you different from other guides?
I have been doing it above and below the water line forever. Grew up on an island fishing and scuba diving. Teaching people how to both catch and spear fish since I was 10. I am 52 now and I still love it. I am a fully sponsored captain who has been on multiple TV shows and writes for Coastal Angler Magazine every month. On my days off I either go frustrate myself on a golf course or I go fishing and scuba diving on 1 of my boats.

About Your Trip

A charter company like none other in the entire Bay Area. We feature 3 Federally Permitted fishing boats all equipped to give you the most memorable day on the water imaginable. Two of our vessels can hold up to 6 passengers and then we have a 50 foot Coast Guard Inspected vessel that can carry up to 35 with 14 fishing at one time. Depending upon the time of year and the duration of the charter you book we can fish right off the beach or run out to 100 miles offshore to accommodate each charters desires.

The Gulf features some of the best fishing you will find anywhere. From non stop family action designed to create memories for all ages to extreme big fish angling we have the boat and crew to get it done. With multiple boats on the water every day we are able to stay on top of the action following the bite. We have 2 other boats that scuba dive that help us to know exactly what is beneath the water line so we never have to guess is fish are below. We are the only company around that can boast this.

The majority of our fishing is done on anchor so that everyone is fishing the entire time. Our captains and crew will bait the hooks and take fish off if you like or stay out of the way for tested angler that enjoys doing things themselves. We will clean your catch after the trip and send you to our local restaurant to cook it for you if you want.

From start to finish you will see why we started in 2005 with one small boat and have grown to the respected charter we are today. Capt TJ
