About Your Guide

David H.

Independent Guide

Capt. David is one of the lucky few to have grown up in the area and fished these water his entire life, a true local. Starting out in high school as a mate at 15yrs old, he worked his way up and gained his captain’s license at the age of 18. Started running as a Captain at 19 years old and hasn’t stopped since. He has been in the Charter Fishing industry a little over 18 years now and doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. It has always been a passion of his being on the water and making a living doing something he truley enjoys, fishing! To Captain David, there’s no better feeling then watching his clients make memories that’ll last their lifetime.
