Captain Preston, a native of Fort Lauderdale, discovered his passion for the ocean early in life. His love for diving and fishing has been a lifelong pursuit. He began his career in the maritime industry during high school by working on charter boats. Over the years, he has gained extensive experience navigating and fishing across the Bahamas, Florida, and Cuba. His mission on every trip is to create an unforgettable adventure for all guests and ensure a successful day on the water with a great catch. Captain Preston and his team are eager to welcome you aboard for an exciting fishing excursion.
My three sons, aged 20 and 17, and I recently enjoyed an outstanding trip with Captain Preston. The Sea Vee was spacious enough to handle rough seas comfortably. During the outing, we caught six mahi-mahi, a kingfish, and a shark. Being from Colorado, we are always seeking new adventures, and Captain Preston’s expertise made reeling in the fish incredibly enjoyable. However, I would advise caution for families with young children or anyone with health concerns during the November season due to the challenging waves. – Suzanne
