I have been around boats and fishing all my life. From a young age, the ocean called to me, and I began scuba diving and fishing early on. I am a marine educator and practice ethical, conservation-focused fishing techniques. Sharks are my area of specialty, and I spent years working with nonprofits researching sharks and educating the public. I am also a scuba instructor with NAUI and SDI/TDI, with over 20 years of experience. I offer classes in scuba diving, freediving, and spearfishing. If you're looking for a custom dive charter, please message me. So, what are you waiting for? Quit slackin' and book the Kraken!

    Great day on water

    4 Hour – Inshore Trip • 2 adults

    Excellent boat and crew. originally booked for full day, but due to weather and conditions deteriorating later in day we changed to 1/2 on advice of Capt Tom who was in communication with us daily leading up to trip. Vin ran a great deck and was very personable, as was Capt Tom. Boated Spanish mackerel for dinner and through back several Blues. Great day with my son who just returned from deployment. We will be returning!

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Spanish Mackerel

    Full day troll and deep drop.

    12 Hour – Offshore Fishing Trip

    Capt Tom and his guys did a great job. We saw 5 school of tuna bursting out of the water but they went back down just as fast. Blueline tile were biting. I went late august in 2023. It is a small boat for 6 anglers but everyone caught fish and had a fun!

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Good day on the water with nice weather and a decent bite. We were able to get some quality fish today and tried a few different tactics. Saw a handful of cobia today eager to chew

    This trip was a success in my book, we had a great crew who put in a long day of hard work and we made it come together. We didn't win the overall tournament but we did get 1st place female angler!
