Captain
Matthew Fann

Member since September 2024 Fort Lauderdale, United States

Background: I grew up locally in fort Lauderdale Florida and followed in my father's footsteps in coming into the sport fishing charter industry. I first began my career as a boat wash kid, cleaning up and icing down the fishing boats along the fleet. After a few years, I stepped into the mates circle, first as a second mate then onto a first mate. It was as a first mate that I would travel from the FL keys and all the way to Maine by way of the coast, including the bahamas. I worked a variety of charter and private fishing boats for 15 years until I felt I was ready to become a captain. I graduated from the maritime academy and was hired onboard my first operation as a master 100 ton captain. After 14 years as a captain I have become an owner/operator. It is here that I have complete confidence that my vast career experiences have honed my skills and it is those skills that I offer. Thank you for reading.
Techniques: I am skilled in powerboating and have made a professional career in the fishing industry. However I also enjoy boating in general and love to share my experiences with like minded people!
