Introducing Captain Dennis Hodge Jr., affectionately known as Brody. Born and raised on the beautiful emerald coast, Brody developed a deep love for the water and the mysteries beneath the gulf’s surface from a young age. He began fishing as soon as he could walk and has been passionate about it ever since. His enthusiasm for fishing was so profound that he dreamt of running his own charter boat to share his passion with others around the world.

Captain Brody’s journey began on a well-known party boat in Destin, where he quickly rose to the position of first mate within the first month. His dedication, hard work, and love for fishing eventually led him to one of the top private boats in Destin, where he honed his skills in catching gamefish. After meeting all the necessary requirements, Brody took and aced the OUPV/6-pack captain’s license test on his first try.

Now, Captain Brody is eager to share his expertise and love for fishing with you and your loved ones on his very own private, 36ft Hatteras Sportfish vessel.

We are committed to providing an unforgettable experience on the water, catching a variety of fish species. If you have any further questions or need additional details, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
