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.

Nothing brings JOY like unplugging and getting some much needed sunshine mixed with fresh air! Charter fishing is a great way to clear your mind and relax. Social distancing and grocery shopping at the same time! Its our plan during this season is to spread hope to ALL Americans! We are offering discounted rates on all trips! 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. Our vessel is a 6 passenger boat so no need to worry about your group being too large!)
