About Your Guide

Taylor H.

Independent Guide

Capt. Taylor has been an avid commercial fisherman for the last 20 years, putting food on the table from the deck of the Cap’n. Boo. Throughout his life, Capt. Taylor’s favorite memories are all on the water. If you ask him about this, you are likely to hear stories of fishing with his Grandfathers in ponds and lakes, spending time deep sea fishing the Atlantic with his brother, and now taking his two girls out to learn the industry. After marrying into a commercial fishing family, Capt. Taylor continues to do what he loves—fishing, crabbing, oystering, and more! Since he has been able teach his daughters about this and watch their excitement exploring the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, he now wants to give other families the chance to make those same memories.

Captain Taylor and his team provide a fully insured, fully licensed, and fully permitted deep sea fishing charter experience!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting 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, bait, 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.
