Captain Scott has been fishing his entire life. For years, friends and family encouraged him to become a guide, so guiding and becoming a captain was something he contemplated for years and years, At 33 years old he finally took the leap and started his own business guiding, doing all sorts of various tours. He's lived here in South West Florida for 37 years and knows the area very well, and he'll go out of his way to ensure that his clients' needs are taken care of. Captain Scott puts the extra effort every day in ensuring his boat and equipment are well maintained and remain clean and safe for his customers. The captain is personable and enjoys chatting with his guests. He appreciates the time you take to consider his charter and invites you to book a trip and join him on the water.

    Great day trip!

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Scott made our first fishing day trip an absolute success! We had two 12-year-old boys with us, and they had an amazing time from start to finish. Scott was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and knew exactly where to go to find fish. He kept things fun and engaging by moving us to different spots whenever the action slowed down, which was perfect for keeping the boys excited and involved. The boys each brought some fish home for dinner, and Captain Scott even took the extra time to clean them for us, which was greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better first trip. Highly recommend, and we would absolutely book with him again. Thanks, Scott!

    6 Hour Shark Fishing

    3/4 Day Trip – Shark Fishing • 3 adults • 2 children

    What an amazing trip! From start to finish the captain was super nice and very intelligent. it was myself and my two sons (10 and 12). The boys hit him with so many questions and at no time did he seem annoyed or not give them a genuine answer. He took us to a great spot where we caught around 13 sharks 3 different species. I was a pain and asked to switch the charter from morning to afternoon to see the sunset and he didnt even bat an eye and said yes. He made sure to take photos of us with the sunset in the back. Easy to meet up with and the boat was very nice and clean. All around amazing guy. I would 100% recommend booking with him.

    Reported catch:
    Blacktip Shark
    Bonnethead Shark

    Great trip!!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Scott was a fantastic guide. He put us on fish every location he took us to. He was a wealth of knowledge on the sport of fishing and its variations of the seasons. His boat was spotless and the rods and set up were great. We spent very little time getting out to our spots and on the fish. I would highly recommend him as your guide. He will be my go to charter guide from here on out.
