New Smyrna Beach native, grew up on the Intracoastal waterway learning to fish for Trout, Redfish, and Snook. I got my first boat at the age of 14 where I expanded my knowledge of the backwaters of Edgewater through Oak Hill and the flats of Mosquito Lagoon. As I got older I was able to get bigger boats which lead me offshore where the broader variety of larger fish made me want to primarily spend my time off the coast outside of Ponce Inlet.

    Best Fishing Trip We’ve Ever Had!!

    4 Hour Trip – Sharks2 adults

    We have been on several fishing charters and this was by far the best! We came to catch sharks, and Captain Chris definitely delivered. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to keep us on the fish. The boat was clean, the gear was great, and the whole experience was a blast from start to finish. If you’re looking for an exciting day on the water, I highly recommend Capt Chris. We’ll definitely be back!

    Captain was awsome

    8 Hour Trip2 adults

    He put us on fish right away and had us catching fish almost as soon as the boat quit moving. Also love the techniques he uses. 20+ pound snappers for 6 hours straight. I would have posted more pictures but everyone was too busy reeling fish in to take pictures.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Mangrove Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper

    Great Captain!

    8 Hour Trip3 adults

    Boat was good, and captain was excellent. I've been on many charters, and this captain is worth the money, and the good experience. We caught snapper, cobia and a nice variety of edible fish, and had an outstanding time. Highly recommended!

    perfect day on the water

    5 Hour Trip3 adults

    Captain Chris was fantastic, very personal & knowledgeable. He took us to two different locations where caught dozens of fish, a lot of them keepers. We wrestled with many big fish that took a while to land. We had an exceptional day of fishing, thanks Captain Chris!
