Captain Chris is a seasoned fishing guide with over 15 years of on-the-water experience across two of the most iconic fisheries in the world. For the past 10 years, he has guided anglers through the crystal-clear flats and offshore waters of the Florida Keys, targeting everything from tarpon, wahoo, tuna, sailfish to snapper, grouper, and other species.

Before calling the Keys home, Chris spent five years fishing in the rugged waters of Alaska, where he honed his skills pursuing salmon and halibut in challenging conditions. That time taught him precision, adaptability, and respect for the fishery—qualities he brings to every trip.

Known for his patience, local knowledge, and passion for teaching, Captain Chris welcomes anglers of all skill levels, from first-timers to seasoned veterans. His goal is simple: provide a safe, fun, and memorable experience while helping guests catch fish and build lasting memories on the water.

When you book with Captain Chris, you’re not just hiring a guide—you’re fishing with someone who truly lives for it.

My wife and I had a wonderful day of fishing with Capt.Chris. The bite was a little slow but Chris never gave up on finding fish and it turned into a good day of catching! Made for a great day on the water.
