Ray is a second generation native of Miami. His father and grandfather shared with him the love of fishing. That helped launch his career as a professional crewman at the early age of 16. He has fished exclusively as a full time fishing guide in South Florida and International waters for over 30 years, the first 20 years Ray captained the “Tropicat” for Kelly Tractor, fishing their clients both in Miami and Key Largo. He has 26 first place finishes in sailfish, marlin or swordfish tournaments as well as 5 tournament series titles. He has great crew members and gear to take advantage of the many types of fishing available to South Florida. “I have been fortunate to have a job that I love. I enjoy every day that I get to go fishing on my boats. I’ve also participated as an angler, crewman or sometimes even a customer on several other boats. All these experiences have shaped my business philosophy that a hardworking, courteous crew as well as a properly equipped and well maintained boat are essential elements in the charter business. No matter what type of fishing you want to do, I and the rest of my crew will do their best to insure that you experience a great day of fishing.” Captain Ray Rosher.
