Capt. Scott Irvine
The Florida Keys are a geographical and metaphysical escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Many stories, songs and films have attempted to capture the essence of the Florida Keys but nothing quite does it justice. You have to experience it for yourself. You have to physically relocate, adjust your mind, and let go in order to truly understand the soul of our Island life. You have to live it. No one understands this more than Captain Scott. Born and raised here in Key West, Scott has spent his entire life perfecting the technique of letting go. Captain Scott has a life long connection to the Islands and understands the subtle currents and rhythms that connect them. He is an expert fly and spin fishing guide, an expert waterman, and an adventurer. Scott has stories that sound like Jimmy Buffet songs, and perhaps are… Scott was in the very first film we ever made. He was in the latest. He’s a constant professional with a calm sense that comes with thousands of days on the water. He welcomes laughter and has a devotion to relaxation. He has fished for it all, but seeks out the flats.
“There is nothing like being salty and hunting for fish. There has not been a day when I haven’t savoured the feel and smell of the ocean. It is knowing the waters, currents, connections and patterns… It is spontaneous as well as calculated… It is always exciting and challenging…it is my hobby, my job and my life.”
