Captain Brody

Captain Brody

At 14yrs old I started SCUBA diving and found a love for the water. Little did I know how much that would directly affect my life.

At 18 I started off working in kitchens and racing Soling sailboats on Wednesday nights and weekends in Lake Michigan. After seven years in Wisconsin my culinary career brought me to South Carolina where I continue to cook, fish and boat as often as possible.

In the past year I've decided I want to spend my time sharing my knowledge and love for the ocean with all.

Sharing is Caring!

Amazing experience. Captain Brody was so welcoming and informative. Picked us right up at the dock, took excellent care of us and we saw so many dolphins! Highly recommend this tour. It’s private so no fighting crowds to see the dolphins and one of the best prices around!

We had an incredible time with Captain Brody. He was easy to schedule and accommodating, then once we got out he was very patient and fun with the kids. They ended up catching some awesome fish and had a blast doing it. Absolute high point of the entire week!
