Captain Ismail has always been very passionate about fishing, and a few years ago he decided to pursue this passion by becoming a licensed captain. He realized that taking people out on the water is really fulfilling, and hasn't looked back since. His favorite part of the job is the fact that he's able to do something he loves. He enjoys people making great memories on his boat, and he loves seeing them happy after a successful trip!
