About Your Guide

Gavin S.

Independent Guide

My name is Captain Gavin and I am an inshore fishing guide in the Ozello / Crystal River Florida area. I have fished the nature coast my entire life and have absolutely fallen in love with the fishery here. I have always dreamed of becoming a fishing guide to share my passion with people from all over the world and through some work I was successful. I began the journey as a manatee swim guide, earning sea time towards my captains license. That turned into captaining manatee swim trips, Eco tours, and airboat rides, until I had saved enough money to purchase my own boat and start my guide service. I run my trips specific to the client, meaning we will pursue certain fish species, as well as fish at the level of fisherman the client is. I enjoy my kid trips, inexperienced adults, educational, as well as professional level angler trips all the same. All trips are a private experience tailored to the client ensuring a good time in a phenomenal environment. Expect wonderful sights, great conversation, a few laughs, and of course some fish!

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.
