Mark Banish

Member since March 2021 Fort Myers, United States
Background
I have 30 years of boating experience with over 1500 days logged sea time in both fresh water and saltwater, including ownership of (4) different vessels up to 31' in length. The majority of my sea time was obtained in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. I have a 100GT Master USCG captains license (near coastal) which allows me to charter up to 100 miles offshore in both inspected and un-inspected vessels in all US territorial waters. i am also an active volunteer member of the Unites States Coast Guard Auxiliary (New Smyrna) serving as Past Flotilla Commander, Certified Vessel Safety Inspector, and National Staff Officer for the Recreational Boating Safety B-Directorate. I currently operate inshore and offshore charters in New Smyrna Beach, FL and seasonal charters (March/April) in Fort Myers Beach, FL. My vessel is inspected annually by the United States Coast Guard UPV inspection program.
Techniques
I love to get customers hooked up on fish, depending on conditions and trip duration will bottom fish, drift fish, troll or fish inshore.
