Captain Nick grew up in Massachusetts, where he worked as a commercial fisherman targeting striped bass and Bluefin tuna. After retiring early from his career as a high school teacher, he relocated to Marathon in 2005, a place he had visited annually with his family. His passion for fishing in the Florida Keys began at a young age during trips to Marathon.
Why choose Captain Nick? "I personally own and operate my boats and business. As the captain of my own vessel, I bring a genuine enthusiasm to every trip. This isn’t about being an employed captain on someone else’s boat just trying to complete a job. I take pride in providing a top-notch experience. I’m not interested in cutting trips short or causing seasickness just to finish early and charge full price like some others. I guarantee returning from each outing with an impressive catch." - Captain Nick
