About Your Guide

Nick Borraccino

Independent Guide
Captain Nick was born and raised in Massachusetts, commercial fishing for striped bass and Bluefin tuna. After “retiring” early from being a high school teacher, he moved to Marathon in 2005 where he used to vacation with family every year. Nick’s love affair with fishing in the Keys was instant, starting with his first trip to Marathon in grade school.

Why Fish with Nick?

"I own my boats and my business. I captain my own boat, and I am intensely passionate about what I do. This means you’re not getting a hired captain on a boat owned by someone else, who is just looking to get out, get back, and get paid. I’m not looking to take anyone out to get them seasick so I can come in early and charge full price like some other operations. I absolutely refuse to come in without a great catch." - Captain Nick
