About Your Guide

Zach Armisted

Independent Guide
aptain Zach is a lifelong resident of St. George Island and Apalachicola, with roots on Florida's Forgotten Coast that run generations deep. Raised in a family with more than 60 years of fishing history in Apalachicola Bay, Zach learned the local waters at an early age and grew up alongside his father, a longtime guide who helped pass down the knowledge and traditions that define the area's fishing culture.

As a second-generation fishing guide, Captain Zach brings a unique understanding of the bays, flats, and backwaters surrounding St. George Island and Apalachicola. His experience isn't something learned from a map or a season on the water—it's the result of a lifetime spent fishing these waters alongside family members who helped shape the local community itself.

Whether you're chasing your first Redfish, introducing your kids to fishing, or simply looking to experience one of Florida's most unique coastal environments, Captain Zach is passionate about creating memorable days on the water and helping guests build traditions of their own along the Forgotten Coast.
