Captain Doug was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida. He has been fishing the area waters since he was old enough to sit on his dad’s lap and hold a rod and reel. He carries on the tradition as a 3rd generation boat captain. Captain Doug has been on and around the water all of his life, including fishing, surfing, and scuba diving.
Captain Doug started his first charter fishing job in the early ’90s and never looked back. “I get enjoyment from watching my customers smile, laugh, and make memories that will last a lifetime.”
Doug's charter is a family-owned and operated company. His son, Jonathan, has been the mate now for 5 years.

My family and I went out with Doug and his son Jon. it was a wonderful experience; the boat had a bathroom and air conditioning that is very hard to find on most fishing excursion boats. While Doug captained the boat his son kept all the rods baited and cast, all we had to do was reel them in. They knew exactly where to go, we caught plenty of fish and Jon filleted and cleanedthem even advised us how to cook them. With their years of experience and knowledge I would only go with them again and advise anybody to do the same.
