Gulf Shore Local, Captain Shawn is the real deal! He loves what he does and it shows.

Captain Shawn has a 100 Ton Captain’s License and prior to becoming a charter boat captain, commercial fished, in the waters where you’ll be fishing and with many friends still in the commercial industry, always knows where to put you on the bite!

He takes care in accommodating his guests, especially our veterans, elderly and children. He listens to what his anglers want.

You’ll love meeting at Safe Harbor Seafood. It’s an operational fish house. and fishing, the waters are rich with multiple species of fish, you don’t have to travel far to get your lines in the water.

Whether you want to just have fun, catch a trophy fish, or stock your freezer, he’ll make it happen.

Want to catch a shark? He’s a master!

I started my fishing career, at age 12, bought my first, small commercial vessel at 14 and fished all over the Gulf. Moved to Kona, Hawaii, switched to Charters and built Kona Cowboy Sportfishing. My wife Kimberly and I, worked together and established a very successful business. It was time to go home, We sold the Cowboy and bought the Bandit . I stayed with charter fishing, because I found the best of both worlds. I get to fish everyday and share my love and enthusiasm, with other people. Whether you're a first timer, or expert, you won't be disappointed.
