Our story
Captain Brandon & The Shearwater
Thirty years of charter fishing on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Family-owned, locally operated, and dedicated to showing every guest an unforgettable time.
Born on the Coast
Raised on Gulf waters
Captain Brandon Morano was born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He grew up around the docks, learned the water by running it, and apprenticed under his father-in-law, Captain Kenny of the famed The Miss Hospitality charter boat.
At 18, Captain Brandon earned his 100-Ton USCG Captain's License — at the time, the youngest charter captain on the Mississippi coast. He took the helm of his own operation in 1995 and has been guiding families, serious anglers, and visitors ever since.
His motto has guided the business for three decades:
“Do what you love and love what you do and you will never work a day in your life.”
