Hi everyone! Team Whippersnapper is a family of commercial and charter fishermen and lady anglers. It is our goal as a family to share our love of the water with everyone. Our main boat, F/V The Whippersnapper, is a commercial fishing vessel. As one of 535 Unlimited Snapper/Grouper fisherman left in the United States, it is our goal to preserve and maintain the oceans and fishing stock so that generations to come can enjoy it just like we do. We do this by participating in major studies with the University of Florida, surveys with the FWC, and logbook and discard reporting with NOAA.
We like to stay active on the docks and on shore with other commercial fisherman, dive, spearfish, and charter fisherman. It is vitally important to band together to protect our oceans and lifestyle. The F/V The Whippersnapper is strictly a commercial vessel only. We provide yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and grouper to wholesale fish houses around the Florida Keys. If you are eating a snapper sandwich down in the south of Florida, it could be from our boat! When we aren’t able to fish, we maintain a great partnership with F/V Reef Riders and F/V Seaweed to keep our wholesale fish houses “in the meat”.
