Captain Bill had a fishing pole in his hands before he could walk. Growing up on the Jersey Shore, he always has a passion for saltwater fishing. He moved to the Florida Keys in 2015 where he immediately fit right in on the waters here. Captain Bill is an experienced captain with a 100 ton vessel operator's license. He enjoys helping kids catch their first fish or seasoned angler catch the fish of a lifetime! The waters in the beautiful Florida Keys are full of life and beauty. Our goal is to not only catch you fish but help you have one of the best experiences of your lifetime.

It’s been a life long passion

What makes you different from other guides?

I feel I’m a true professional. From the presentation of the boat to the fishing techniques to the maintenance to upkeep the rods and reels. I enjoy fishing with kids catching their first fish all the way to advanced anglers who want to hook into big game such as sailfish and tuna.

Captain Bill was outstanding. He found the fish for us and we caught yellow tail snappers, strawberry grouper, and blue bonnets. Will definitely use him again.
