Captain Dave started fishing when he was 11 years old. Since then, he's been going back and forth from the Northeast to South Florida, spending an average of 200 days a year on the water. In his words, an hour on the water where the fish are is better than a full day anywhere else!

    A morning of fishing fun!

    Mourning shark • 3 adults • 1 child

    My 11-year-old son, Zachary, went on his very first fishing charter, and he loved every minute of it! Captain Dave and First Mate George were fantastic—patient, friendly, and so great with making his first experience one to remember. Dave’s dog, Doc, was an added bonus and absolutely adorable! We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Thank you for making his first fishing trip so special. We can’t wait to come back!
