Brandon Steffen

Independent Guide 6 years of exp.
US Veteran Veteran
Following in his father's footsteps, Captain Brandon started his charter just over 4 years ago. A lifetime fisherman in the area, he is passionate about cruising over the flats whether he has some customers on board or not. Fishing with some good company is better though, and there's nothing that he loves more than seeing you having a good time

Had a great day fishing with Captain Brandon. We caught a lot of fish, including barracuda, snapper, nurse and lemon shark. Brandon kept moving around to ensure that we stayed on the fish. We've fished with a number of guides over the years and Brandon was one of the best!

I caught some beautiful Snapper for dinner and then some Barracuda and Sharks for sport. I highly recommend his services and he would be...

Brandon was awesome!
He took my son and I in the most memorable fishing trip we’ve had to date. We caught 3 lemon sharks, and a bunch of barracudas. We Loved the whole experience.
