Christian has been a captain for the past 5 years, but he's been fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod. He's fished the entire southeast coast and participated in a lot of different tournaments along the East Coast. Not only has he placed high in many of these tournaments, but his boat is also currently the number 2 boat under 28 feet in the whole SE coast! He recently finished second place in the world in a Sailfish tournament fishing off a 62' Viking. Fishing is his ultimate passion and addiction – he goes to sleep dreaming about fishing, then eats, drinks and breathes fishing. You'll have a great time fishing with him and his crew!

    Successful family fishing trip

    Half Day Trip – Sportfishing • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Christian was great from the start. Responsive and making us aware of the water conditions letting us decide on options. His expertise and skill allowed us to catch some bait fish, which was a great thing to start on and our 5 year old son loved it! There was so much seaweed, it wouldve made trolling difficult. So he helped pick out a great spot over an old barge and we had a lot of action. And caught 2 giant amberjacks! We were successful, plus we had a great experience that we hope to replicate in the future.

    Reported catch:
    Amberjack

    OUTSTANDING!!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults • 1 child

    Christian was an AWESOME Captain and a great experience for us! The minute we let our lines down we got hits from snapper all around!! And caught two barracuda - which was fun to bring in! We're going to be eating some ceviche tonight! Tomorrow some Snapper Piccata - ask Christian about it - he used to be a Chef too!

    Great day on the water!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM • 5 adults • 1 child

    One of our best fishing charters yet! We caught bait fish, snapper, trigger fish, a ginormous amber jack, and a huge barracuda and we only booked a half day of fishing. Where we fished the water was a beautiful blue sapphire color, which was a bonus for me! I would recommend Captain Christian’s Charter.

    Reported catch:

    Serious program.

    Half Day Trip – Sportfishing • 4 adults

    Upon our request, Captain Christian navigated some pretty rough conditions to take us offshore for some entertaining fishing. we caught a few large apex predators that fought hard and challenged what little skills we brought to bear, which was very exciting for all of us. Christian is a thoroughly skilled Captain, angler / rigging, expert, and fishing tournament winner. there’s no doubting his experience. I highly recommend Program Sport Fishing.

    Despite the poor weather, Captain Christian still put us on the fish. We fished a variety of techniques and caught Vermillion Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and Barracuda. The boat was clean and organized with all the right tackle. The Captain was super friendly and had a positive attitude. We would definitely recommend this charter and hope to book again one day!
