Capt. Dan Cambern started fishing at the age of five when his uncle
would take him on fishing trips off the New England coast for Bluefish and
Striped Bass. By the time he was eight years old, his family moved
to Nokomis, Florida. While fishing with his Dad off the beaches, piers,
and jetties of Venice, he gained valuable knowledge and experience
necessary to catch many species of fish.
Capt.
Dan also learned how to scuba dive at the age of ten. Soon after, he was
diving and spear fishing in the same waters observing fish in their own
habitat. This provided to be an exciting and rewarding advantage by being
able to see what the many ledges, reefs, and wrecks looked like and
pinpointing where the greatest numbers of fish like to "hangout". By
marking and saving these spots, Capt. Dan has logged in nearly a thousand
dives and several hundred loran and G.P.S. numbers, where today, he uses
these very same numbers to produce incredible catches of fish for his
anglers.
In
1985, after working as a mate on a charter boat and working as a
commercial fisherman, he decided to get his U.S.C.G.... Captain's License
and now holds a 100 Ton Masters Certificate.
By
using his many years of experience and knowledge of our offshore waters,
Capt. Dan will put you on his best spots to help you catch Grouper,
Snapper, Amberjack, Cobia, Permit, Barracuda, Sharks, and Goliath Grouper
(Jewfish). Plus many others, such as, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel,
Bonita's, and Black fin Tuna, when they make their spring and fall runs
along our coastlines.
No
matter what your angling skills are, this Captain and crew will make your
offshore trip an exciting and fun adventure for all.

Priority Sport fisher.
The
Privateer is a fast blue water open fisherman powered by a Yamaha Outboard.
She is equipped with the
latest and greatest in electronic navigational and fish locating devices.
She's fast enough to get you to the deep wrecks & ledges where the Giant
Grouper live, yet stable enough to make the experience comfortable and safe
for everyone. Porta-Potty equipped.
The
Priority is best utilized for anglers wishing to travel way into the deep
blue waters of The Gulf of Mexico, in search of truly Big Grouper, Giant
Amberjack and Pelagics (Tuna, Dolphin, Sailfish and Wahoo). Although
she's not quite as fast as the Privateer, she'll tame the roughest of seas
making those long distant runs very comfortable and safe for all aboard.
