Dean Murphy

Member since January 2023 Naples, United States
Background
I've been raised in Naples, FL, since I was four years old and have been working on the water my entire adult life. I started off pushing rental jet skis and boats and moved on to working as a deckhand on multi-passenger fishing vessels, both backwater and offshore. Eventually got my 100 Ton Masters License. I've since operated everything from taking boat owners on their own vessels fishing to running yacht charters in the North East. From delivering yachts up and down the East Coast of the US as well as running various charter vessels with anywhere from 6 to 149 passengers. I'm excited to have my charter boat in Naples Bay finally!
Techniques
Personally my favorite fishing is light tackle flat lining (or free lining) for Mangrove and Yellowtail snapper.
