He quickly advanced to pursuing trophy catches aboard luxurious sportfishing yachts. With experience targeting everything from Tuna and Mahi to Swordfish and Sharks, Captain William has mastered it all. Now helming his own charters, he applies his extensive offshore knowledge to ensure every outing is exceptional.
Whether you’re fishing offshore, deep dropping for Tilefish, or simply enjoying a day on the water, Captain William’s expertise and calm demeanor guarantee a memorable experience. Novices are encouraged, experienced anglers are welcomed—and everyone leaves with great stories to tell. Prioritizing safety, comfort, and plenty of action, Captain William is dedicated to putting you on the fish and making your time aboard truly enjoyable.
We highly recommend booking a trip with Captain William! Although the fish weren’t very active, the captain and his first mate made the day enjoyable. The boat is spacious, featuring modern amenities such as a bathroom and air conditioning. We would definitely sail with them again!
