How did you get started guiding?
I have been taking people fishing and hunting all my life. People would offer me money to take them fishing or run their boat all the time. So I got my Captain’s License and tested straight to 100 Ton Master Captain. I never looked back…
What makes you different from other guides?
I am fun and very easy going. I teach my clients and allow clients to handle gear. I always include live bait and you don’t have to fish for them during your charter. I catch really big fish and do things other Captains don’t or don’t have the experience to do, like kite fishing, Goliath Grouper fishing, Sword fishing, Bahamas trips and Key trips.

Hi, the overall trip was good, captain explained a lot. We were expecting another person on board to help with baiting, but the captain did it all. He greeted us at his home went to the boat and took off. The bathroom on the boat definitely needs a deep cleaning. I think the boat was too small boat for as many people we had on board to be fishing. We were always in...

He greeted us at his home went to the boat and took off. The bathroom on the boat definitely needs a deep cleaning. I think the boat was too small boat for as many people we had on board to be fishing. We were always in his way or another person's way it seemed. Wish we could have caught something other than fish bait.

Incredible experience, captain Bryan knows how to catch fish and knows where the local giants are hiding. We cought a massive 300lb sand shark and several other species, captain was generious in sharing his knowlegde and experience with us and his loyal co-captain Tilly (chihuahua) made us feel welcome and made sure we had fun. I'd reccomend cap Bryan to anyone loking to CATCH fish in Miami waters!

Fantastic trip overall! Captain Brian was so welcoming and fun, we caught huge fish and had a blast! Even the 5 year old with us loved it, he had plenty of water for us and a great clean bathroom on the boat. He made sure we had fun and we loved it. Will definitely be booking again when possible! Highly recommend.

Captian Bryan tried very hard to get fish for us but the lines kept getting severed , also it looks like he was missing a mate today so he had to drive the boat , fix new rigs etc. The scenery was great but we really wanted to catch some fish.

Captain Bryan and his deckhand James, and Kila were AMAZING!!! I was so impressed! The trip was so great, I didn’t want it to end. Honestly, I can’t imagine going on another fishing trip without him.

This trip was for my fiancé’s birthday and he had such a great time with our nieces and nephews. I’ve never went fishing my entire life and I caught the first fish! Thank you Captain Bryan and we look forward to being on the water with you again!
