Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?

Many big Tunas and Mako sharks in my early offshore charter days.

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

Fish. Duh.

What’s your favorite band?

The Pixies.

What’s your favorite movie?

That's a tough one. Maybe My Cousin Vinny or the Big Lebowski.

What’s your favorite sports team?

Any Philadelphia team (where I was born) or Florida team.

What’s your drink of choice?

I like black cherry White Claw.

What was your last halloween costume?

I was the wolf and my Fiancée was little red riding hood.

What do you want for Christmas this year?

A vacation to go surf or maybe bonefish.

How did you get started guiding?

I worked on head and charterboats since I was 15. After 7 years on deck I got my Captain's license and opened my own charter business.

What makes you different from other guides?

My level of experience and the size of my license. I've spent my life on the water and hold a 500 Ton Master of Towing Oceans license. The level of training I have received is 500 times that of the average guide. I've run fishing boats, crewboats, supply boats, tugboats, and yachts in the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, and Carribean. I have a ton of stories. I've spent the last 16 years honing my skills on the Indian and Banana River lagoon systems. Your saftey and enjoyment at my top priority.

Everything Else to Know

All rods, reels, and tackle are included, but we also recommend bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and any gear of your own you want to use on the trip.

You're all set! You don't need to buy a license for this trip.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

Cancel for free up to 14 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate you’ll be covered by our 100% weather guarantee and you won’t lose your deposit.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a 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 case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
