Member since May 2018 Destin, United States
Background
My father has over forty years of experience as a captain in Destin, Florida. I learned so much from him. I have been working the waters in Destin for over a decade, and have been running my own boat for the past four years. I most enjoy teaching people about the waters and the different types of creatures. Our boat offers much more than fishing, you'll get the full "5th Day" experience.

Call or text to book your trip today or if you have a question! (We are being sure to follow the CDC guidelines in place. We are sanatizing all common areas and staying away from other boats.
