With over 30 years of experience navigating the open water, Capt. Cliff brings a unique perspective to the world of charter services. Hailing from the Great Lakes, his early years were spent mastering the intricate channels and diverse conditions of freshwater boating. This foundation of precision and skill was honed further as he transitioned to the tropical paradise of Southwest Florida, where he’s spent two decades exploring the hidden coves and vibrant ecosystems of the Gulf Coast. His journey then took him even further west, to the breathtaking waters of Hawaii, adding a deep understanding of Pacific currents and ocean life to his expertise.
Now settled in SWFL, Captain Cliff combines his extensive knowledge from these three distinct regions to provide an unparalleled charter experience. Whether you’re a seasoned angler chasing a trophy catch, a family looking for a relaxing day on the water, or a curious explorer seeking out local wildlife, our goal is to create a safe, memorable, and personalized adventure just for you.

Our vessel features a Bimini top which provides limited shade. As the sun moves, the shade will move. You will also be getting sun reflection off of the water. It’s best to wear UPF clothing knowing that the sun’s movement and reflection will expose you to strong UV rays. When in the water you will mostly be snorkeling face down and your uncovered back and legs will get significant sun exposure. The best approach is to have a sun shirt or rash guard on while you are in the water and manage your sun exposure diligently.
Our captains will closely monitor the ocean conditions from all information sources as they can change rapidly – both for the better or worse. Everyone’s safety is the highest priority and we will only go if it’s SAFE. We will give the tour every opportunity to operate and sometimes it has to be a last-minute cancel as a result of the water conditions. We will contact you via email, text, or telephone at the earliest decision to cancel. In that rare event, we’ll happily reschedule you for another date while you are on-island, or provide a full refund
If you booked online, find your confirmation email and that option will be provided. If you booked via telephone, that same confirmation will apply and you can change or cancel via the website. If that doesn’t work, please immediately send us an email so we can assist given Hawaii’s time difference. Cancellation or change inside of 48-hours of the tour is not possible.
