About Your Guide

Richard Fairbanks

Independent Guide

Founded in 2022 by long time Buffalo fisherman Bill and Captain Richard. Bill had fished with Captain Richard for over 20 years when he decided it was time to own his own boat and make his longtime friend and fishing guide his partner. Captain Richard grew up in South Florida the son of a world class fisherman himself.

Captain Richard has traveled the seas for 35 years on many a fishing vessel honing his skills. His many catches and the stories that come with them are part of the experience you can expect aboard his 39 foot Yellowfin center console fully equipped with brand new, top of the line, tournament fishing equipment. She is prepared to catch any species of fish that comes her way. Please see the photo gallery for pictures and more detail.
