Captain Sara has been on the team for more than 5 years as the Second Captain and brings over 20 years deep sea fishing experience to our fishing team.

“I was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida where my dad and grandfather got me hooked on fishing the Escambia River. Many summers were spent with my dad on the Bob Sikes Bridge.

In 2002 after High School graduation… some friends started working as deckhands in Orange Beach and invited me to ride along. At this point, it was my first time in the Gulf of Mexico and I fell in love with offshore fishing! I became a deckhand that summer and thank God for this opportunity. Since I’ve started as a deckhand I have worked my way up to a 100 ton Masters License and now my dream of being Captain of my own boat has come true. My goal is to provide the enjoyment of being out on the water catching fish, making memories, and becoming friends who become part of my “charter family” and I will continue teaching...

and helping people fish for as long as I am able.

My time off is spent with my son Rowan (who loves fishing as much as his mama) and our next-generation captain.”

Captain Sara provided my daughter and grandson with a wonderful near-shore fishing experience. Although I was along, the trip was for them and Captain quickly demonstrated her solid understanding.

We experienced some rougher than desired water for the first half of the trip, and Captain Sara navigated them perfectly. The trip ended with calm waters and a little bit of time in the pass so my grandson could use his own fresh-water gear to fish. He
was a thrilled 11-year old!
I must mention the performance of Sara's mate, Rider. Rider worked closely with my grandson and focused his attention on making the experience memorable.
We caught 10 fish. Perhaps not a great many; but every one was a thrill. Spanish mackerel, tuna and cobia. My grandson caught 8, my daughter 2, and I caugh none - - - just the way it should be.
You won't regret booking with Captain Sarah.

Just returned from an afternoon fishing with Sarah and her first mate Mitch. A great combo that made for a good time. If you are looking for a nice couple who know how to put you on fish, we recommend captain Sarah and shipmate Mitch. Great memories with a couple of grandsons and son-in-laws. Thanks Sarah and Mitch!
