Offering charter fishing experiences since 1999, I am a lifelong resident of St. Augustine, Florida, and a U.S. Navy veteran. I retired from Northrup Grumman after 30 years as an avionics technician. Currently, I captain a new Pathfinder 2400 Open, an excellent vessel for both inshore and offshore fishing adventures. My introduction to charter fishing began while working at a local bait shop, all while still employed at Northrup Grumman.
Families and dedicated anglers alike are warmly welcomed aboard. Recently, we enjoyed an outstanding trip with Captain David! He was very communicative leading up to our outing, ensuring we were well-prepared. David’s friendly and approachable manner, combined with his expertise and teamwork with fellow guides, made for an enjoyable day. We caught several fish and had perfect ocean conditions, which added to the fun. Everett, JJ, and X were fantastic companions on the water. All in all, an excellent fishing experience that we would highly recommend. Thanks again, Captain David!
