How did you get started guiding?
My passion for being on the ocean, I traveled the world for many years, and everywhere I went I would always lean towards a fishing adventure. It wasn’t about the fish. It was about the feeling of just leaving everything else behind.
What makes you different from other guides?
I can’t say that I’m different than the rest, but I’m me and there is no other. I enjoy conversation with like minded individuals. Catching fish is a bonus.

Great day on the water with an awesome captain. Immaculate boat and equipment. We didn’t land any tarpan but we hooked a few and saw many. Would highly recommend this charter!

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.
