Meet Captain Steven Miller

Meet The Finest Pensacola Charter Captain, Steven Miller of Native Son's Fishing Charters And His Boat

Captain Steven Miller of Pensacola, Florida, is a lifelong local and the owner-operator of Native Son's Fishing Charters, a premier nearshore and offshore fishing service. Growing up in the Gulf Coast, Steven co-founded the business with his late father, carrying on a family tradition of expert fishing guidance. With over 20 years of experience, he has become deeply familiar with the waters around Pensacola, knowing the best spots for red snapper, triggerfish, and other Gulf species. His passion for fishing is matched by his dedication to sharing that knowledge with every guest who steps aboard.

Over the years, Captain Steven has built a reputation for creating memorable experiences for anglers of all skill levels. He enjoys mentoring beginners, offering tips and guidance to ensure everyone feels confident while fishing. Beyond the technical side of angling, he emphasizes the joy of being on the water, celebrating every catch, and fostering a genuine connection between his guests and the Gulf Coast’s abundant marine life.

Captain Steven especially loves having children on board, watching their eyes light up when they reel in their first fish. His focus on family-friendly fishing and educational guidance allows young anglers to feel included and safe, while still experiencing the excitement of real offshore and nearshore fishing. Every trip reflects his commitment to professionalism, safety, and creating lasting memories for families and friends alike.

The Boat – 37-Foot Buskin Walkaround

Captain Steven Miller’s 37-foot Buskin walkaround boat is designed for both comfort and efficiency on the Gulf waters. Spacious enough to accommodate up to 15 anglers, the deck layout allows everyone to fish simultaneously from all sides. Equipped with twin 250 HP Cummins engines, the boat reaches prime fishing spots quickly, giving guests more time on the water. Its smart design, combined with Captain Steven’s knowledge of Pensacola waters, ensures a smooth, enjoyable, and productive fishing experience for every trip.
