Meet The Captains

Captain Dave

Known as the “Jimmy Buffett of the fishing world,” Captain Dave brings over 30 years of Florida fishing experience—and a laid-back, fun-loving personality that makes every trip unforgettable. Growing up on Long Island, NY, Dave has been working on the water since he was just 12 years old. After decades of commercial fishing, he found his home at the helm of the Marlin Mujer. Today, Dave’s passion is twofold: helping families and first-timers fall in love with fishing, and chasing the thrill of the hunt for monster fish. Whether it’s landing a trophy catch offshore or teaching a child how to reel in their very first fish, Dave makes sure every moment on the water is exciting. His deep expertise in fishing, safety, and weather ensures that everyone aboard feels confident and at ease—so all you have to do is relax, reel, and enjoy the adventure.

Captain Jeff

Captain Jeff was born and raised in Central Florida with fishing in his veins. From chasing bass after school to spending summers offshore with his dad in the Gulf and Caribbean, he’s lived and breathed the water his whole life. By 14, he was already fishing full-time, and over the years he’s guided countless anglers aboard headboats and private charters across Florida. Today, Jeff brings his passion to smaller groups—where he can connect, teach, and share the thrill of offshore fishing. “There’s nothing like seeing someone get hooked for the first time,” he says. “Every trip is an adventure—you never know what you’ll catch or see!”
