I have been commercial fishing the "Forgotten Coast Of Florida" for several years. I’m also a world Spearfishing tournament champ. I have a love and passion for the water. I have always loved when I come in ,and see peoples faces when they see the big fish that have been caught or speared that day so I decided I wanted to give those people a chance at catching fish of a lifetime so I purchased a federal charter permit and started American Offshore Adventures.
