Meet Captain Chili

Captain Chili has spent a lifetime on these waters, learning from his dad and building a career offshore. Today, he brings that same experience, work ethic, and love for fishing to every trip—whether you’re chasing a trophy or just enjoying a day on the Gulf.

20+ years as a professional captain

Offshore experience across the Gulf and Caribbean

Calm, safety-first leadership on every trip

Disciplined, reliable, and focused on making every trip smooth and enjoyable.

“We had the most incredible time celebrating my birthday out on the water with a group of six. From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and thoughtfully handled. Captain Chili made us feel completely at ease, kept the energy high, and truly went above and beyond to make the day special. The boat was beautiful, the experience was unforgettable, and it’s something we’ll all be talking about for a long time (until next year’s trip!). If you’re looking for the perfect day on the water, this is it, highly recommend!”
