Introducing Captain Casey, a genuine Sarasota local whose passion for the water began just days after his birth and has grown ever since. Raised among boats and fishing lines in the Gulf, Casey possesses an intimate knowledge of these waters—from the serene back bays to the stunning shores of Siesta Key. Since earning his USCG captain’s certification in 2015, he has become known for offering relaxed yet energetic excursions that showcase the very best of Sarasota.

His guests frequently return, drawn by the perfect mix of fishing, storytelling, and plenty of laughter. Patient and approachable, Casey is enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge and teaching others what makes this fishery unique.
A five-star guide, he’s just as thrilled to help beginners hook their first fish as he is to exchange tips with experienced anglers. At the end of your trip, he’ll also clean and fillet your catch, so you leave with more than great memories.
