Sea
Boots Charters was started over 20 years ago by Jim Sharpe a Captain
with more than 50 years of experience in Big Game Fishing in the Florida
Keys, Bahamas and South Florida. The name Sea Boots was taken from a
world famous charter boat and Captain by the name of Buddy Carey out
of Pier Five in Miami Florida. Capt. Jim's father Red Sharpe, Buddy Carey
and world famous Captain Tommy Gifford were all in the Coast Guard together
aboard a boat called the Black Swan. Capt Jim grew up working on charter
boats in Miami at Pier five fishing with captain Lonny Cambel on the
Wahoo, Fred Harvey on the Papa Sea Gull and John Sacon on the Martha
Mary.
Sea Boots Charters was born out of Capt. Jim's love for big game fishing
and his compassion for all the professional's (doctor's, Lawyers, nurses,
fire fighters and policeman) working in high stress environment. Taking
fishing to the leading edge was Capt. Jim's stress relief during and
after riding Medical Rescue with Metro Dade Fire Rescue in Miami for
28 years.
