Captain Rich was born in Tullamore, Ireland in 1979, but did not make his way to the States until 2001. It did not take him long to discover that his new home was in Southwest Florida, where he could pursue his deepest passion—fishing! The only thing Captain Rich enjoys more than pulling in a big Red is helping his clients experience the same excitement! He has made quite the life for himself over the last 20 years, with a beautiful home and family to show for it. He takes great pride in how far he has come and loves to pass that same Irish luck on to his passengers.

Captain was very nice, he rigged all of the poles and took us to lots of different locations trying to find fish. Used all kinds of bait, gave us pointers, but because of a tropical storm the week before the fish just were not biting.

This was exactly the fishing fun we needed for our super spur of the moment trip with a teenaged kid that wanted to catch fish in Florida. Lots of different species, super friendly contain and never a dull moment. It helped that the weather was great and we caught lots of fish.

Captain Kenny was outstanding. He got us reeling in fish right away. We kept him bust baiting hooks and netting big fish until it was time to call it a day. Great day fishing. Highly recommend, thank you very much. Looking forward to another fishing trip with him next year.

Captain Rich was by far the best captain we have ever had during our fishing adventures! His boat was very comfortable. He made the effort to go to the fishing spots that would get us the most action. He was fun, funny and very quick to re-bait our hooks as soon as we lost our bait to the "nibblers" out there. My fiance and I cannot wait to go out with him again!

Our skipper was awesome! I am terrible with names but I believe it was Captain Kenny. He was great with the kids and we caught our dinner with leftovers to spare. We will definitely be back next year
