Your operator
Captain James Brayton has been on the water since the age of 3, growing up fishing alongside his father on drift boats. What started as a childhood passion quickly turned into a lifelong career. By age 12, he was already at the helm of a 65' sportfishing boat under the guidance of an experienced captain — the moment he knew this was the path he wanted to follow. He began working his way up from helping out as a second mate to mastering every aspect of the boat — from bottom fishing and live baiting to engine room operations. By 16, he was fully immersed in the charter world, learning advanced techniques like kite fishing, shark fishing, and wreck fishing. At just 21 years old, he earned his captain's license and turned his dream into reality. With over two decades of professional experience (since 2000), Capt. James has fished extensively along both the East and West coasts of Florida — from Port St. Lucie to Key West, up to Clearwater — as well as the Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas), the Dry Tortugas, and Pulley Ridge. He specializes in targeting Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Snapper, and Grouper, and brings a deep understanding of offshore and reef fisheries to every trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, Capt. James is dedicated to sharing his knowledge and delivering an unforgettable day on the water.
