Captain Jarett Ortenzo

Captain Jarrett Ortenzo has been in love with fishing and the outdoors as a whole since he was a small child.  He grew up with a fishing pole in his hand, and has fished in many areas across the country in both fresh and salt water.  Captain Jarrett is our favorite “goof ball” and is always quick with a joke.  If you are around Jarrett, odds are you are laughing and having a good time.  Captain Jarrett is a former U.S. Marine who served from 2004-2009, including 2 deployments to Iraq.  These days Captain Jarrett captains our 24’ Cape Horn “One Shot”, and takes great pleasure in introducing people to salt water fishing.  He’s a great all around Captain, and is particularly good with kids on his boat.  Fishing with Jarrett is always going to be both fun and productive!

Blue and White Marlin

A marlin has an elongated body, a spear-like snout or bill, and a long, rigid dorsal fin which extends forward to form a crest. Its common name is thought to derive from its resemblance to a sailor’s marlinspike. Marlin can be caught between May through November with our charters!.
