I started fishing at a young age growing up in Miami, Florida. When my friends were out riding their bikes, I was learning to tie knots with my dad. I am very passionate about fishing, I take pride in what I do and I'm not satisfied unless my client is. I like to live bait on the bottom with light to medium tackle. It's about the fight, not the catch.

    We booked our trip to celebrate my sons 13th birthday. Richard was great with our boys and made the trip fun for them. Both my boys caught several sharks and a few fish. It was definitely an experience they will not forget and we are looking forward to booking with him again!

    August fishing trip

    2 Hour Trip – Shark (11:00 AM ) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Outstanding experience from start to finish. The captain was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on fish. We caught an awesome 90 lb bull shark and even a stingray, making it an unforgettable trip for me and my son. Safety was always a priority, and the crew took great care of us. If you’re looking for an exciting shark fishing adventure, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be back!

    3 HR Shark Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    This trip was so much fun. Captain Rchard was wonderful. We caught 5 sharks (2 black nose, 2 bull, and 1 bnnethead. He was patient and coached us through the whole process of reeling in a shark. He was extra patient with the children. I would highly recommend this charter especially for families.
