100+ reviews

Captain Xavier was raised in New Smyrna Beach and Orlando, Florida, with the world-famous Mosquito Lagoon in his backyard and world-class bass fishing in the surrounding lakes and rivers. He took advantage of this diverse fishery just minutes from home. The captain spent all his free time learning the local waters, recording his findings in fishing logs, studying the tides and temperatures, and tracking the movements of sought-after game fish. He realized that consistently catching big fish requires an understanding of fish behavior and water conditions, as well as proficiency in various fishing techniques. Having become a certified scuba diver at the age of 14, Xavier has spent many hours observing fish underwater to gauge their reactions to bait, chum, and artificial lures. He loves sharing his experience with his guests!

FANTASTIC fishing trip
7 hr – Inshore Fishing (AM)od avgust 24, 2026 • 1 adult
A truly fantastic trip. Skipper Xavier was immensely knowledgeable of the required fishing techniques, tackle & location. He made me feel welcome & at ease right from the get go. Caught lots of excellent size snook & red fish and just missed out on tarpon & tuna…. I would highly recommend going fishing with this skipper & boat…thanks Xavier for a truly great experience

Best day on the water ever!
7 hr – Inshore Fishing (AM)od januar 19, 2026 • 1 adult
I had booked this charter fully expecting that fishing would be slower with the cooler temperatures... It wasn't! To say that Captain Xavier put us on fish would be an understatement. I've never seen so many quality fish. The organization and size of the boat made navigating to fight fish even easier. Fishing is never a guarantee, but it's always fun when even the captain is surprised. Thanks for an excellent day!
