Get to Know Capt. Josh
Meet your Captain
Welcome aboard! I'm Capt Josh Zachman, a deep-sea fishing guide with a wealth of experience and a formal education in Fisheries Science. My career has taken me to the waters of six continents and over 30 countries, where I've honed my expertise in the art and science of offshore angling.
While I've had the privilege of pursuing trophy catches in some of the world's most breathtaking locations, my true passion lies in sharing this knowledge and excitement with others. Whether you're an experienced angler seeking new challenges or a novice eager to learn the ropes, I take great pleasure in guiding individuals of all skill levels towards memorable and successful fishing experiences.
​
One aspect of my work that brings me particular joy is introducing kids to the wonders of fishing. There's something magical about witnessing their excitement as they reel in their first big catch or learn how to tie their first fishing knot. It's these moments that truly make every expedition unforgettable.
​
On my boat, I strive to cultivate an environment that feels less like a guided expedition and more like a day out with friends. With my expertise in fishing and a genuine passion for the sport, I aim to blend professionalism with a laid-back atmosphere, where clients feel at ease and excited to cast their lines. Whether it's swapping stories about past catches, sharing tips and tricks, or simply enjoying the serenity of the open water, I ensure that every moment on board is filled with camaraderie and laughter. Together, we create memories that extend beyond the thrill of the catch, forging bonds that make every trip feel like a reunion among friends.
The Boat
You'll be fishing aboard a 29' custom built 2016 Sutphen Sportfish center console. One of the newest and best equipped charter boats in the area. The custom boat features a powerful Yanmar 375HP diesel, massive amounts of fishing space, ample seating, and a small cabin with a stand up head (bathroom). The boat was custom built to offer a dry and comfortable ride for clients in even the roughest conditions. Taking design cues from offshore racing boats, she boasts a sharper and deeper V than any production fishing boat with a 26 degree deadrise. With a more than 40mph cruise speed, she is a fast boat able to maximize your time on the water. Allowing us to spend more time fishing and less time running. She was outfitted in 2025, at the cost of over $20,000, with a complete suite of top-of-the-line electronics, sonar, and radar. This helps us find fish, locate feeding birds, and navigate safely to and from the fishing grounds.
She is furnished with top-of-the-line rods and reels from Penn and Shimano. Rods and reels are regularly serviced and replaced every season to insure the best experience for guests.
