I grew up in the Tampa area and have been fishing for as long as I can remember. I love my job and have a passion for fishing and teaching people everything I can about this sport. If you leave my boat thinking that you just made a new friend then I have done my job and we have had a great time made memories and had fun

About Your Trip

We believe the best days happen when you 'play hookie', grab the people you love, and spend a few hours making memories together. Our mission is to create memorable experiences that bring people together through fishing. We believe some of life's best moments happen on the water, when kids catch their first fish, families spend uninterrupted time together, and strangers leave as friends. Our goal is to provide more than just a fishing trip. We strive to create an experience where every guest feels welcomed, encouraged, and valued, regardless of their age or experience level. Whether it's a man taking a break from work, a family making memories, or friends finally getting out of the group chat, we are thankful you are considering us as your captain. We aim to get people away from the hustle of life and give them an excuse to 'play hookie'.
