Background
Fishing Runs in My Blood Some people grow up with city lights and traffic noise — I grew up with the sound of waves crashing and the hum of a boat engine at sunrise. Fishing has always been more than just a hobby for me; it’s a legacy. My father loved fishing, and so did his father before him. Our family holidays weren’t about fancy hotels or big cities — they were built around tides, tackle, and time spent chasing the next big catch. Becoming a skipper wasn’t something I planned on paper — it’s something that happened naturally, almost like the ocean chose me. Since 2007, I’ve been at the helm, guiding others through the thrill of deep-sea adventures. Every trip is different, every sunrise unique, and every fish has a story of its own. To me, being a skipper isn’t work — it’s passion, freedom, and purpose all tied together by saltwater and wind. Watching someone hook their first big fish, seeing that spark in their eyes — that’s what makes it worth it every single time. I wouldn’t trade this life for anything else. The ocean has taught me patience, respect, and gratitude — and I’m proud to share that experience with everyone who climbs aboard. Because when you’re out there, surrounded by nothing but blue, you remember what life’s really about. At Pelagic Hunter Charters, we don’t just take you fishing — we take you on an adventure you’ll never forget. Whether you’re chasing your first catch or your next trophy fish, you’ll feel the same passion that’s been in my family for generations. So climb aboard, let’s chase the horizon, and get hooked on adventure together. ??
