I was brought up on boats my whole life here in Clearwater. From when I saw my first commercial fishing boat I knew exactly what I wanted to do... fish for a living. My fishing career started immediately after high school when I got a job as a deckhand on one of the head boats out of Clearwater Municipal Marina. I had my sights set on being captain as soon as I started, and it didn't take long. As soon as I had enough time for my 100 ton masters captains license, I took the courses and got it. I started running the head boat at 21 years old and loved it. After gaining the fishing knowledge and the overall experience of running a 90 passenger head boat for a few years, I decided it was time to start my own charter boat operation. I like the more personalized fishing experience of a six passenger vessel and I like having the speed to be able to get to the more fertile fishing grounds in an efficient manner. I have a true passion for what I do and I love catching fish!

Half Day Trip (AM) on November 8, 2021

Highly recommend Bottom Line

VERIFIED

Crew was great. Didn’t talk much just went to work. No hook was unbaited. No fish wasn’t in hooked. Pulled in 5 Grouper, 6 Hog backs, and caught more we had to through back. Out of season fish but we caught them all. It was an awesome experience for teen boys and dads. All I can say is if you wanna fish it’s worth every penny. And when done they filleted all the fish packed them into ziplocks then put them on ice for us while we watched dolphins and pelicans fight playfully over the scraps! You...

Sam is a great charter captain. He is knowledgeable, friendly. and professional. The boat is very well suited for our party of 6 and we had a blast catching Amberjack. Very excited to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking to go offshore
