From a fishing family, Captain Mike has spent over 20 years on these waters, guided by a deep passion for the ocean. What started as a family tradition evolved into a lifelong calling. The thrill of the catch is only part of the adventure; the true reward is sharing the excitement of the deep sea with others, from first-time anglers to seasoned veterans.

As a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain since 2008, the goal is to provide a safe, professional, and exhilarating experience for every charter. Knowledge of the Florida Straits and its rich offshore fishing grounds—from the reefs, to the wrecks, to the deep blue—ensures trips go where the bite is hot. Skills have been honed through years of competitive tournament fishing and commercial experience, but the greatest reward is seeing the smile on a client’s face as they reel in a trophy catch.

The guiding style is laid-back and patient. Clients are taught about everything from proper casting techniques to the importance of sustainable fishing. When stepping aboard the Mr. Nice, the goal is to create memories that last a lifetime, whether targeting specific fish species like sailfish, tuna, or mahi-mahi or simply enjoying a beautiful day on the water.
