Who we are

captain Taylor brings over 20 years of experience to south end adventures, and wants you to be a part of the next 20!

ABOUT THE CAPTAIN

Capt. Taylor has been an avid commercial fisherman for the last 20 years, putting food on the table from the deck of the Cap’n. Boo. Throughout his life, Capt. Taylor’s favorite memories are all on the water. If you ask him about this, you are likely to hear stories of fishing with his Grandfathers in ponds and lakes, spending time deep sea fishing the Atlantic with his brother, and now taking his two girls out to learn the industry. After marrying into a commercial fishing family, Capt. Taylor continues to do what he loves—fishing, crabbing, oystering, and more! Since he has been able teach his daughters about this and watch their excitement exploring the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, he now wants to give other families the chance to make those same memories.
