Born in west central Pennsylvania the water has always called my name. I started fishing as soon as I could walk and most other outdoor sports and activities soon after. I started my boating career at the age of 10 when my Father taught me the ropes of fishing. As a child, my grandparents used to take me down South throughout the years when we befriended a charter boat captain in Florida who made it a point to teach me everything he could about the game. After that learning experience, I began my own journey around Myrtle Beach, just as I once learned the freshwater fishing in Pennsylvania and saltwater fishing in Florida. It didn't take me long to start figuring out the wheres, hows, and whys in Myrtle Beach that let me catch my fair share of fish. I've always been a fast learner and my attention to detail helps tremendously with consistently getting us on the fish. I've spent and still spend countless hours researching and studying fish and their specific habits. This has helped me learn many great fishing areas quickly and efficiently. After the loss of my father and grandfather, who instilled the love of fishing in me, I decided to finally go for it and start Nauti Buoy Fishing Charters to share this love. While I may seem young for the job, I can offer you an unforgettable experience aboard the Nauti Buoy as we go after nearshore and offshore varieties of fish. I'm not afraid to teach you this game just as I was taught by a captain many years ago.

    Amazing trip and Amazing crew

    Half Day Nearshore Morning • 4 adults

    Everyone had a great time and were able to reel multiple fish in. The crew was amazing with getting the fish into the boat and the captain knew the spots that produced to most fish. They filleted the fish and did a great job of getting as much meat off the fish as possible. Easy for everyone to get along with. Everyone in our group has talked about going back with them and fishing next time we are all around.

    Best Captain and 1st Mate!

    4 Hour Trip - 11:30 AM • 6 adults

    I’m so glad that I did a little research to find the perfect crew to take me and 4 friends out on the ocean. Not only did all of us catch fish but we made memories for a lifetime. Captain Taylor and 1st Mate Will are the best in Myrtle Beach! I have a feeling they will always remember our day out on the water. It was EPIC! We will definitely be booking them again the next time we come down.
