About Your Guide

Sergio C.

Independent Guide

I’m a local captain with over 10 years of experience in sport fishing and a true passion for life on the water. Fishing is not just my job—it’s part of who I am and something I proudly share with my family. My 4-year-old daughter already loves fishing as much as I do, and being able to pass down that passion makes every trip even more special.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to catch incredible species such as marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, roosterfish, snapper, grouper, and many more. Every day on the ocean is different, and each trip brings new excitement, unforgettable memories, and the chance to experience the beauty of the sea in a unique way.

Whether you are a beginner trying fishing for the first time or an experienced angler looking for your next big catch, our goal is to make your day exciting, comfortable, and full of action. We focus on creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere where everyone can relax, have fun, and enjoy the thrill of sport fishing.

Come and be part of this amazing experience, discover the hidden treasures of our waters, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to welcoming you aboard and giving you an unforgettable day on the ocean!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
