My name is Captain Steve, and I hold Master Merchant Mariner Credentials issued by the United States Coast Guard, along with a PADI certification as a Dive Master. With five decades of fishing experience under my belt, I’ve been privileged to explore the globe through fly fishing and sport fishing adventures. Fueled by this lifelong passion, I decided to bring my expertise to the Florida Keys and start a charter business. Having fished at premier locations worldwide, I can confidently say that nothing compares to the unique blend of the Florida Keys’ waters. Here, you get unmatched access to the Atlantic Ocean, world-renowned reefs, and the Gulf of Mexico—all just a short distance apart.
My deep connection to the ocean and dedication to teaching others how to fish has been incredibly rewarding. There is truly no greater joy than pursuing what you love while creating unforgettable moments for others. Recently, we enjoyed a snorkeling and fishing trip with Steve. Even though we didn’t see much activity during the first couple of hours and started to worry, we ended up landing a beautiful Mahi at the end! He also guided us to an amazing snorkeling site where we encountered sea turtles, sharks, sting rays, and a variety of fascinating fish. We’re grateful for the wonderful experience and look forward to our next adventure on the water 🎣

Whether you’re an experienced angler seeking that prized catch or a family looking for a memorable day on the water, Captain Steve combines expertise, local insight, and a friendly atmosphere to ensure every voyage is unforgettable.
Your adventure begins aboard a 29-foot WorldCat center console, designed for both comfort and performance. This well-equipped boat features outriggers, radar, GPS, a fishfinder, a live bait well, and snorkeling gear if you want to explore underwater. It comfortably fits up to six guests, and even includes a practical makeshift toilet (a simple bucket inside the console) for convenience. Every aspect is tailored to keep you safe, comfortable, and focused on the fishing experience.
Captain Steve takes you beyond the reefs and into the renowned Gulf Stream, an area teeming with diverse marine life. Depending on the season and your interests, you can expect to catch species such as Mahi Mahi, Yellowtail Snapper, Red Grouper, Hogfish, King Mackerel, Cero Mackerel, and Snowy Grouper. Whether trolling for pelagic fish in deep blue waters or bottom fishing near structures, you’ll have access to both light and heavy tackle to suit your style.
Choose from 4-, 6-, or 8-hour trips, each offering a customized fishing experience tailored to your group’s preferences. The 4-hour excursion is ideal for fast-paced, action-packed fishing, while the longer trips allow you to explore a wider range of fishing spots and increase your chances of a great catch. Captain Steve keeps the itinerary flexible, adapting to conditions such as weather and tides to maximize your success.
Families and newcomers are warmly welcomed onboard, with a crew that ensures everyone feels comfortable and engaged. You won’t need to bring any gear—rods, reels, bait, lures, fishing licenses, and even fish cleaning services are all provided for you. Enjoy complimentary snacks including sandwiches, chips, water, and a selection of sodas and teas. Just remember to bring sunblock, polarized sunglasses, and a camera to capture the special moments.
Before setting off, Captain Steve will review any relevant seasonal regulations to guarantee that your outing is responsible and sustainable.
