Captain Josh

Captain Josh grew up around the Seattle area of the Pacific Northwest. The rivers he learned to salmon fish on were seasonal but plentiful and stocked full of silver salmon. Since then his experience has taken him all over the country and world. One of his first experiences as a Captain was running a boat out of Lahaina, Maui. Windjammer cruises kept his days full of Humpback whales and beautiful Hawaiian sunsets.

From here he went across the globe to Alaska and the Seward area. Where he enjoyed the serene beauty of the same whales breeching, Bald Eagles and running a sportfishing boat. During this part of his life Josh was a successful captain and landed lots of Pacific Salmon, Pacific Halibut, Lingcod and sea bass.

From Alaska to Newport Beach California, where Captain Josh worked with Sunseekers Yachts for eight years in and out of the Newport area.

But Josh needed warmer water and more fun in the sun, so off to Virgin Islands He was the captain for excursion boats from St Thomas to Virgin Gorda. There were plenty of opportunities here for Josh to expand his fishing for Ahi and sail fish.

From Maui to Alaska to Virgin Islands to Florida and The Bahamas. Captain Josh found his place in the world. Great cruising in the Bahamas and places to explore. The Bahamas are a place to get in the heat of all the action, to the quiet Otter Islands and Bahamian vibe and culture. Florida and the Florida Keys, what more can you say, all the great things in one spot. Captain Josh is a certified SCUBA diver, free diver fisherman and loves to go Lobstering when he can.
