Captain Sara Griffin was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida, where her father and grandfather got her hooked on fishing. She started working on charter boats after high school, 'rowing' her way up from cleaning the boat, working as a deckhand, and becoming a first mate. Now, she's the owner and captain of her very own charter. She loves nothing more than helping young, budding anglers catch their first or biggest fish. Capt. Sara feels that being a female charter operator really sets her apart from other captains, and loves the idea that she is opening doors for other keen fisherwomen who might want to do the same thing. Her enthusiasm and passion for her work mean that every customer that steps aboard Summer Hunter is made to feel welcomed and in safe hands. Guests usually leave her charter not only with an impressive catch, but also feeling like they've made a new friend!
