Meet Captain Sean

I’m Captain Sean, a Southwest Florida local who has spent most of my life around these waters. I started Emerald Coast Nomad because I wanted to give people a more personal way to experience the places I love—without the crowds, rushed schedules, or cookie-cutter tours.

My trips are relaxed and built around your group and the kind of day you want to have. We can search for dolphins, explore the islands, stop at a sandbar, grab lunch on the water, do some shelling, or simply cruise and enjoy Southwest Florida.

Whether it’s your first time here or you’ve been visiting for years, my goal is pretty simple: I want you to step off the boat feeling like you spent the day on the water with a local friend.
