About us
Captain Cliff brings 30+ years’ experience from the Great Lakes, Gulf Coast, and Hawaii waters.
About Us
A Lifetime on the Water
With over 30 years of experience navigating the open water, Captain 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. Come aboard and let us share our passion for the water with you.
