Meet Captain Steve

Captain Steve is a proud South Florida native whose passion for the outdoors and fishing began long before he was old enough to hold a fishing rod. From an early age, he developed a deep appreciation for the water, the wildlife, and the excitement that comes with being outdoors. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong love of fishing and adventure.

That passion stayed with Captain Steve throughout his years of service in the U.S. Army. His military career took him across the country, giving him the opportunity to experience new places, explore different waters, and fish in a variety of environments. No matter where life took him, he always found his way back to the water.

Eventually, the call of home brought Captain Steve back to the Gulf Coast, where he could once again pursue what he loves most—putting people on fish and creating unforgettable experiences on the water. Today, he enjoys sharing his knowledge, experience, and passion with anglers of all ages and skill levels.

Whether you're an experienced angler looking for your next trophy catch, a family wanting to spend quality time together on the water, or someone picking up a fishing rod for the very first time, Captain Steve is committed to making your trip an experience you'll remember long after you return to shore.

With Captain Steve, you're not just booking a fishing charter—you're booking an adventure. From the moment you step aboard, the goal is simple: have a great time, make great memories, and, most importantly, catch some fish!

Captain Steve takes pride in creating a relaxed, fun, and welcoming atmosphere while putting in the work to give every trip the best opportunity for success. Every day on the water is different, and that's what makes fishing so exciting. You never know what you're going to find at the end of the line!

Whether you're chasing inshore species, looking for a big bite, exploring the beautiful Gulf Coast waters, or simply enjoying a day outdoors with family and friends, Captain Steve is ready to make your time on the water one to remember.

We don't just go fishing—we go CATCHING! 🎣

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.
