Captain Jeff Nagler
Jeff’s journey from a young boy fishing off the boats of Sheepshead Bay to becoming one of the top captains in New York is a testament to his dedication, passion, and hard work. His early experiences on various boats, learning from different captains and crews, shaped the foundation of his knowledge. Starting with humble beginnings, like washing buckets on a boat, showed his willingness to start small and work his way up.
Through sheer determination, Jeff earned his captain’s license at a young age and quickly moved into ownership of his own boat. Over time, he continued to refine his skills and build a reputation for being an exceptional captain. His commitment to his craft and the loyal following he built over the years solidified his position as one of the area’s best.
Today, as the owner and captain of the 65-foot Capt. Jeff, his passion for fishing and his years of experience have made him a respected figure in the fishing community. His story is one of ambition, perseverance, and an unyielding love for the sea.
