Captain Scott is a USCG licensed 100 Ton Master Captain and has been fishing and diving the waters out of Ponce Inlet for over 25 years. Capt. Scott has competed in numerous offshore fishing tournaments, winning the Inaugural Fish Stock tournament in 2003 (formally the Striker).

Captain Scott spends several days each week spearfishing, he can see firsthand where the fish are and what various bottom structures actually look like. He also maintains good relationships with other commercial fishermen and captains which provides an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and notes on recent fishing patterns.

His father and grandfather first took him fishing when he was 5 years old. Over the years he has developed a passion and appreciation for the ocean and all the wonders it has to offer. he has caught monster fish, swam with wild dolphins, turtles, sharks and majestic Manta Rays, but most importantly he has experiences and memories that will never be forgotten.

Whether you are serious about fishing or would like to introduce your family to a new experience, Captain Scott is your man!...

Our group of 5 had a great experience with Scott, also known as “Steve”. It was a beautiful day on the water. Scott was knowledgeable and quickly responded when we needed him… which was often, as we were not experienced!
We’ll go out with Scott again!

Captain Scott is simply amazing!!!! He totally enjoyed his sense of humor and it was so awesome to interact with him during our fishing trip. When a storm popped up and we had to cut our fishing trip 2 hours short it was refreshing to not be nervous on the rough seas as Captain Scott remained calm and talked to us all the way back to shore!! Can NOT wait to go...
