I’ve been fishing the waters of Naples, Florida since I was a little kid with my dad — the same Gulf waters I now take people out on every day. Whether it’s offshore fishing Naples for grouper and snapper or exploring the inshore fishing for snook and redfish, I love sharing what makes this area one of the best fishing destinations in Southwest Florida.
These days, I’m the one behind the helm with my first mate, Ripp (that’s him right there). Every trip is a new adventure — no two days on the water are ever the same. That’s what keeps me hooked and why I love helping others experience the excitement and beauty of Naples offshore fishing firsthand.
I’m a third-generation charter boat captain, born and raised in Naples, Florida, and I’ve been navigating these waters since I could walk. I grew up learning from my dad, who spent over 20 years running trips and sharing his deep knowledge of the Gulf. That experience gave me access to some of the most productive reefs, wrecks, and hidden spots for offshore fishing Naples, and it’s what I bring to every trip.
I have a passion for the outdoors and love spending my days in God’s creation — there’s no better “office” than the open Gulf. Whether we’re out deep sea fishing in Southwest Florida, targeting grouper, snapper, and other prized species offshore, or enjoying an inshore fishing excursions for snook and redfish with your family, my goal is simple: to help you create memories that last a lifetime.
At Lucky Strike Fishing Charter, safety and fun go hand in hand. I hold a Master Captain’s License, U.S. Coast Guard Medical Certificate, and CPR certification, and I take pride in running a clean, safe, and family-friendly operation.
If you’re looking for a Naples fishing guide who knows these waters like the back of his hand and loves showing people a great time, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get out there and make some memories on the water!
