Captain Craig started working the docks of Miami in the early 70s as a boat washer and standby mate. After being away from south Florida for some time, he moved back and fished with his brother every chance they got. His brother then bought a charter boat and started fishing charters out of Key Biscayne. A short time later, Capt. Craig became a captain as well. In 1988, he went from a 6-pack to 100-ton. Capt. Craig has fished waters from Palm Beach to Key West and throughout the Bahamas, winning several tournaments along the way. He bought and outfitted his 25' Contender in 1987. The captain fished charters on that boat part-time with Haulover Inlet being his home. He became too busy (popular) running private sportfishing boats up to 72 feet. He later gave up the fast life to raise a family, took on a 'real job', and moved to Pensacola, fishing every chance he and his wife could. The all-around fishing experience and knowledge he possesses separate him from most captains.

    From First Cast to Fresh Lunch, A Five-Star Offshore Fishing Experience

    Excursión de 5 Horas en arrecife en mar abierto4 adultos

    We had an awesome offshore fishing trip today with Brighter Days Sport Fishing and Captain Craig! The boys and I had a great time from start to finish. We caught mahi, triggerfish, and vermilion, stayed on fish most of the trip, and Captain Craig kept things fun by sharing stories and local knowledge while we were out on the water. After the trip, he cleaned all of our fish and recommended taking our catch to The Salty Pearl, where they cooked it up for lunch. It doesn't get much fresher than that, and it was the perfect way to end the day. If you're looking to try offshore fishing, whether it's your first trip or you're an experienced angler, I highly recommend Brighter Days Charter Fishing and Captain Craig. Great captain, great experience, and memories we'll be talking about for a long time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Perdido Key

    5 horas Pesca en Mar Abierto arrecife tarde3 adultos

    Captain Craig was great he was very knowledgeable of where to catch certain fish and made sure we definitely caught something. we csme out with catching a decent amount of Trigger Fish none that we could keep unfortunately due to being undersized. We did however hit yhe honey pot with catching 12 Vermillion Snapper that were all keepers. The Amber Head would have been nice but we lost him he put up a reslly good fight. I Recommend booking with Capatain Craig

    We had a great day of fishing with Captain Craig. What a knowledgeable, friendly gentleman. Great weather, calm seas and nearly limited out! I will definitely reach out for a charter next time I am in the Pensacola area. Thanks, Craig, for a great day!

    Good first fishing trip for my boys

    Excursión de 4 horas aguas costeras y costa afuera mañana3 adultos2 niños

    We had a fun morning and we all caught fish. Craig and Noah were great, and kept the kids excited after they missed a couple fish. Both caught one the next time the put out a line. good trip for families or avid fishermen. bring warm clothes for morning fishing.

    Captain Craig takes care of everything: from baiting the lines, to taking fish off the hooks and finally cleaning. As a seasoned veteran, Craig knows where the fish are. This was my family’s first deep sea fishing adventure-amazing.
