Born and raised on a small island in Florida, the captain has spent his entire life on the water. From inshore flats to offshore canyons, he’s pursued just about every species imaginable. In 2016, he landed his first tuna—and he was instantly hooked. Since then, his passion for big game fishing has only grown stronger. Now in his third year as a full-time commercial tuna fisherman, he fishes year-round with no off-season, spending winters in Florida and summers in Maine targeting giant bluefin tuna. Over the years, he’s had the privilege of learning from some of the best tuna fishermen in the world, gaining hands-on experience and knowledge that he brings to every trip. With a deep respect for the fishery and an unmatched work ethic, his goal is simple: to put clients on the fish of a lifetime and deliver a trip they’ll never forget.

We’ll head offshore at sunrise and work hard to put you on the fish. Catch and release as many tuna as you can reel in, and any fish under 73” are yours to keep (as permitted by regulations). It’s a high-energy day of offshore adventure you won’t forget.

Ground fishing/shark Charter

(7AM – 4PM) Head offshore into the deep waters of the Gulf of Maine for an action-packed day of shark and ground fishing.

With a seasoned crew, top-tier gear, and a boat built for serious offshore action, you’ll be fishing in prime territory. Whether you’re reeling in a trophy shark or loading up on delicious groundfish, this Gulf of Maine adventure is the real deal.

Commercial Days

No fish may be brought onboard for photos due to federal regulations.
