I’m a U.S. Coast Guard licensed 100-ton captain with 49 years of experience on the water. I was born and raised in Biloxi, Mississippi, and I've been proud to call Orange Beach, Alabama home since 2005.

I know these waters like the back of my hand and I give 110% on every trip- no matter if it's a four-hour inshore adventure or a 6-hour trip in deeper waters.

Let's make some memories together. Come catch the big ones with us!

My family had an amazing trip with Captain Pat! I wanted to give the family the opportunity to do something different and he delivered. We came back with a ton of fish to eat, the kids and wife had a blast! Will definitely be taking another trip with him next time we are in Alabama!
