My family moved to Tequesta Florida in 1995, as a result I grew up fishing and boating my entire youth and found something I love doing as a career. Working at marinas the past 20 years has allowed me to learn knowledge of vessels ranging in size from little runabouts and dinys, to super yachts and ships 300ft+. I currently still work at a small marina in tequesta while also running fishing trips on the Seavee. Being around boats and helping people on the water has always brought me happiness and fishing charters are my icing on the cake.

Growing up fishing the loxahatchee river, juno pier and Jupiter inlet allowed me to build significant knowledge for our local fisheries. My family moved south from Jupiter to north palm beach 3 years ago. As a result I expand my fishing charters from only Jupiter, Hobe sound, and Loxahatchee river, to adding North palm beach, West palm beach and Palm beach as well. All of these areas have proven time and time again to be extremely productive for any type of salt water fishing.

Weather you're searching for you're bucket list fish or just looking for a fun family fishing, I take pride in providing a custom taylored fishing experience with each booking.

    Super Personable Captain

    Full day offshore on June 28, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Nathan surprised us as an extremely knowledgeable, capable, hard-working and fun to be around fishing guide. We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend a full day, if you book, as that is the best way to get the full experience! Captain Nathan knows where to go to put you on fish, and will work to do so. 10/10!

    Fun Time Off Shore

    6 hour offshore on February 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had a first experience with an off shore day of fishing. Unfortunately things got a little rough and we had to cut the trip short. But it was fantastic while it lasted. Can't wait to do it again with some calmer water.

    Half day off shore charter

    Half day offshore on May 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    We booked a morning charter with Nathan. He showed up on time. We departed quickly and headed to the inlet. We had lines in the water in about 40 minutes after leaving the pier. We were about 3 miles off shore. We pulled in a mahi right away. Nathan did great keeping us fishing. We caught about ten fish pretty quick. We saw a few turtles and watched a shark eat one of our fish too.
