Born in 1960, Captain Chuck Dessommes moved to Pensacola in 1968.  He received the precursor of his two charter boats on his 13th birthday; a Glastron GT-150. In 1978, he got a 20 foot center console Mako which became the first of his offshore charter boats.  After having fun wasting three years at UNC Chapel Hill, Captain Chuck returned to Pensacola and earned his BS degree in marketing from the University of West Florida in 1983.  By 1984, running Pensacola deep sea charter fishing boats became his full time, sole source of income, occupation. Captain Chuck has run other boat owners'  twin diesel charter boats in Pensacola ranging from 36 to 55 feet in length. Now,  if he is not chartering his own boat out of Pensacola, Captain Chuck commercial fishes his boat, legally, with his federal reef fish permit plus red snapper and grouper IFQ's.  In 1993, Chuck upgraded his US Coast Guard Six Passenger Captain License to a 100 Ton Master Captain License.  A consumate professional, Captain Chuck can safely and swiftly transform any first time fisherman into a productive angler.
