About Us

Captain Derek has spent a lifetime in, on, and around the ocean. While growing up a mere stones throw from the Atlantic Ocean he spent his formative years fishing and working on board the Al Gauron fishing fleet, a business begun by his grandfather of the same namesake. The culmination of his expertise dates back to even his youngest years where he could be found either practicing a handed down method or crafting his own innovative fishing techniques in the harbor after hearing beloved sea stories form his grandfather. His love for, and relationship with, the ocean only became more enhanced as he grew where he eventually was led into commercial fishing for numerous species. 

It did not take Capt. Derek very long to  became one of the youngest commercial fishing captains in the area. He has accrued a vast and comprehensive knowledge of the fishing grounds located within the Gulf of Maine and beyond.  Having fished the Gulf of Maine year round, he has developed the necessary skill and an understanding of the many faces of the fishing industry both recreationally and commercially. His love of the ocean brought him briefly to a worldwide career on ocean going vessels where he further developed his maritime professionalism and enhanced his understanding of the oceans. 

With all of the local and worldly experience in his tool kit, Captain Derek is in a great position to provide the necessary skill and professionalism to afford his customers with the best opportunities to enjoy a trip aboard his latest endeavor, the F/V ALL IN. Whether it is getting the kiddos into a school of Mackerel, putting the family on  a school of Striped Bass, or even taking a shot at fighting a Wily Bluefin Tuna, Captain Derek is the man for the job.

We are still finalizing our crew but the captain told me to put my ugly mug up here so here ya go. I'm Joe and I am part time webmaster, occasional deckhand, fisherman, and family man. If things on the site look good...I'll take the credit. All the mistakes are probably somebody else's fault.
