Captain Steve Brownlee

Brownlee's website says he began operating fishing charters in 2013 and describes about thirty years of Florida fishing experience. The business identifies him as a Coast Guard-certified captain. This operator is distinct from Fish Hawg Fishing Charters, which has a different captain and contact number.

Two boats and capacities

The published fleet consists of a 2016 Hewes 18 Redfisher for up to two guests and a 2013 Andros 26 Tarpon for up to four. Choose the boat with the captain based on passenger count, target species and conditions rather than using boat length alone.

Inshore rate examples

On the Hewes, four-hour inshore fishing is listed at $400 for one guest, plus $50 for a second; six hours is $550 plus the same extra-person charge. On the Andros, four hours is $550 for two and six hours $750 for two, with $50 per additional guest within the four-person limit.

Specialty and seasonal trips

The rate page lists juvenile and seasonal tarpon fishing, tripletail trips and Andros outings for tarpon or cobia. Fall and winter hogfish and fall and spring kingfish trips are also advertised. Boat, included passenger count and duration vary by package, so request the exact specialty-trip quote.

Booking details

Call or email to confirm the boat, launch location and current price. Ask what tackle, bait, licenses, drinks and catch-cleaning services are included, along with deposit, cancellation and weather terms. The reviewed contact location should be confirmed as the actual meeting point before traveling.

Details checked September 28, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
