Captain Brandon Morano Sr. has been in the charter boat industry, and he has been running Shearwater Charters since 1995. Born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, his love for fishing began at an early age. His dad would take him and his older brother fishing for every chance they got, and he quickly got the fishing bug. When he was growing up, his dream job was to one day work as a deckhand on charter boats. In December of 1989, he met his wife, Jennifer Barhanovich, whose dad just happened to be the owner and captain of The Miss Hospitality Charter Boat. He started working with Captain Kenny, his father-in-law, that next summer and spent 4 summers learning about the charter boat industry from one of the best captains in the business. He graduated from high school in 1994 and immediately enrolled in captain school and earned his 100-ton Captain's License at the ripe age of 18. At that time, he was the youngest Charter Boat Captain on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In December of 1995, he bought The Shearwater, a 37-foot Custom Sportfisherman built in Orange Beach, Alabama, in 1981. Captain Brandon and his son Brandon Jr. work hard to make each charter one to remember, and their goal is to put the love of fishing in each customer. Captain Brandon has so much passion for what he does, and he's instilled this in both of his sons. Brandon Jr. has been working as a deckhand for his dad since he was 15 years old. His passion and knowledge of the history of the Gulf Coast are impressive for a 23-year-old. You'll get a free history lesson with every charter. Brandon Jr., aka BB, plans to follow in his dad's footsteps and become a Charter Boat Captain as well. When you have as much passion for fishing as Captain Brandon does, it's a guarantee that he will go above and beyond to make it an unforgettable fishing experience. The number of repeat and lifelong customers Shearwater Charters has is quite impressive. Captain Brandon's motto is a simple one, "DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND YOU WILL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE." His passion for fishing is what has made Shearwater a successful charter fishing business. With the latest fish-finding equipment, an air-conditioned cabin, a private restroom, and a covered deck make your fishing experience a comfortable one. Contact us to schedule your charter today.
