Our story

Our Story — From Ocean Fisherman to Charter Boat Captain

Hi, I’m Nick Howshar, and I come from a long line of passionate ocean fishermen and plumbing contractors. Growing up, I spent my days on the water, learning the craft from my family, who not only made a living from the sea but lived and breathed the rhythm of the ocean.

For years, I worked hard in the plumbing business, but I always knew my heart belonged to the sea. My dream was simple — to own my own ocean fishing boat, where I could spend as much time as I wanted out on the water, experiencing the joy of fishing.

But I quickly realized I wasn’t the only one with this passion. There were so many others who shared that same love for the ocean and the thrill of a successful catch. That’s when it hit me — I didn’t just want to fish for myself, I wanted to share this experience with others.

So, I made the leap and got my captain's license. Now, I’m living my dream, and I’m lucky enough to share my passion with fellow anglers, adventurers, and families. Whether it's a day of salmon fishing, a whale watching tour, or a fun-filled crab catching adventure, I’m here to help you make lasting memories out on the water.

It’s not just about catching fish — it’s about sharing the excitement, the beauty of the ocean, and the bond that comes from spending time on the water. My goal is to give you the same amazing experiences I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy for years.
