MEET YOUR CAPTAINS
Captain Joseph Thiel
Captain Joseph "Joey" Thiel is one of the few born and raised on Anna Maria Island, a true local brought up on and around the surrounding waters. Captain Joey is young but is an old soul when it comes to catching fish. Being on the water is second nature for Joey. From offshore fishing, in-shore fishing, and spearfishing, guiding is more than just a job to him. It is a way of life.
"The stoke level I reach with our clients when they get out there and see what we and the versatile fishery of the Gulf of Mexico have to offer is more rewarding for me than anything else in this industry." - Captain Joey
Captain Sam Major
Captain Sam Major is a 5th generation Tampa Bay local who grew up on the water, fishing with family and friends. Sam is very knowledgeable, caring, and happy to answer any questions. Captain Major stays true to being a family-friendly fishing guide who welcomes all men, women, seniors, and kids!
