Independent Guide
Captain Dave is a seasoned presence in the fishing world, boasting over five decades of expertise and enthusiasm for every journey on the water. With a background in law enforcement, he deeply understands the value of safety and collaboration.

Captain Dave's commitment to angling is evident in his unwavering dedication to ensuring every trip is not just successful but also enjoyable for everyone on board. His passion for the craft shines through in his tireless efforts to create memorable experiences on the water, making him a trusted and beloved figure in the fishing community stretching from the eastern seaboard around to the Gulf of Mexico.

Step aboard a 48' Daytona sport fishing vessel with a legacy as rich as the waters she’s sailed. Having fished the Eastern Seaboard and ventured as far south as Costa Rica, this storied boat has returned home to Florida—ready to write her next chapter in the stunning waters of the Florida Keys, based in Marathon, FL.

With countless hours logged on these tides, Captain Dave brings unmatched local knowledge and a deep respect for the sea. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, our captain's will guide you through the vibrant local fishery and share tales from the boat’s legendary journeys.

What’s Biting?

Depending on the season, you might hook:

- Gag & Black Grouper
- Mangrove & Vermilion Snapper
- Black Seabass, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia
- Blacktip, Bull, Lemon & Tiger Sharks

Expect a mix of trolling and bottom fishing using light or heavy tackle—your captains will tailor the experience to the day’s conditions and your preferences.

Your Ride

The boat is equipped with outriggers, all essential gear, and a toilet for your comfort. Rods, reels, and lures are provided, and no fishing license is needed. Some catches may be released due to regulations—just ask your captain if you’re unsure.

What to Bring

Sunglasses, hat, and reef-safe sunblock (non-spray), any personal medications, snacks and drinks (water provided; beer allowed in moderation—no glass bottles, please)

Whether you're chasing big game or soaking in the scenery, Dave will make it easy to experience the thrill of fishing in the Keys—on a vessel with a legacy as deep as the ocean itself.
