Captain Nick hails from Rome, Georgia, where he was born and raised. After graduating from Rome High School, he joined the Electrical Union in Atlanta and completed a rigorous 5-year apprenticeship. This achievement marked him as a third-generation electrician. Quickly advancing in his career, Nick transitioned into Electrical Construction Management. Despite his success, he felt a pull to pursue something more aligned with his passions.

His affection for the Emerald Coast began in his youth and remained a constant in his life. Recognizing it was time for a change, Nick packed up and made the six-hour journey south permanently. He earned his U.S. Coast Guard Captain's license, purchased a boat, and now enjoys sharing his love for the waters with others.

As a licensed Captain with all necessary permits, Nick is fully equipped to provide you and your family with an exceptional day on the water. His vessel is a 2004 Cape Horn 22 Bay series powered by a Yamaha 225 Four Stroke engine. Whether fishing inshore among the bay’s flats or venturing offshore into the Gulf, Captain Nick is dedicated to maximizing your fishing time.

His inshore trips on Choctawhatchee Bay cover nearby waters and secluded back creeks, where anglers can catch species such as Redfish, Speckled Seatrout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and Flounder. Offshore excursions in the Gulf of Mexico offer opportunities to catch a diverse range of fish including American Red Snapper, Amberjacks, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Triggerfish, Grouper, King Mackerel, and Tuna.

Captain Nick prides himself on delivering outstanding customer service and aims to provide a fishing experience that guests are eager to share. He prioritizes the unique needs and interests of each client, customizing outings to ensure the best possible day. His charters are family-friendly and inclusive, with accommodations available for those requiring additional assistance due to disabilities.

Whether you seek an adrenaline-fueled adventure or a peaceful day enjoying the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast, Captain Nick is committed to turning your fishing dreams into unforgettable memories.

One recent guest shared, “We had an amazing trip and caught our limit of Red Snapper. Nick’s dedication to getting us on the fish was inspiring—he never gave up, even when the fish were playing hard to get. He worked tirelessly and extended our time on the water to give us the best chance at success. We ended the day with a full cooler and fantastic memories. I would highly recommend Nick for anyone looking for a top-notch fishing experience.”
