Meet Captain Doug Walborn

Captain Doug is known for his laid-back style, patient teaching, and warm personality that puts everyone at ease, from first-time anglers to seasoned fishermen. He especially loves introducing kids to fishing and watching them light up when they catch their very first fish. With Doug, it’s never just about the catch, it’s about the experience, the smiles, and the stories you’ll take home.

Based in Gulf Breeze, Doug offers safe, fun, and flexible trips that fit every kind of crew. Whether you're hoping to reel in redfish and speckled trout or just enjoy a peaceful dolphin cruise at sunset, there’s a trip for everyone. His calm, steady approach makes him a favorite with families, and he always takes time to make sure everyone feels comfortable, confident, and welcome.

What makes Captain Doug truly special is his heart. He regularly donates trips to disabled anglers and underprivileged youth, and he's currently working on a boat specially designed to be accessible for guests with disabilities. With Doug, every outing is about more than fishing, it’s about connection, kindness, and sharing the joy of being on the water.

• 25’ Sea Cat – Perfect for families and small groups (up to 6 guests)
• 50’ Bayliner Yacht – A spacious option for larger groups, sunset cruises, dolphin watching, or even weddings
