Capt. Aaron
813-302-1800 X210
I'm a native Floridian, 100ton captain as well as a master diver (NAUI). I grew up in Pinellas, never seeming to get enough time on the water. I started as mate on a fishing boat and moved up from there to tour boats, and then to casino and dinner cruise boats. I love the local wildlife and I'm an avid birder. Calm seas don't make skillful sailors.
I am an avid boater and fisher. I've grown up on the water spending my life on boats and know my way around Tampa Bay's waterways
