Captain
Brandon Steffen

Member since January 2020 Summerland Key, United States
Background
Following in his father's footsteps, Captain Brandon started Flatzlife Charters a little over two years ago. A lifetime fisherman in the area, he is passionate about cruising over the flats whether he has some customers on board or not. Fishing with some good company is better, though, and there's nothing that he loves more than seeing you having a good time.
