RAISED ON THESE WATERS

DRIVEN BY THE CHASE

Hi, I’m Captain Taylor Nelson with Sunup Sundown Sportfishing. Born and raised in South Florida, these waters have shaped me since the beginning. From Key West to the outer reaches of the Everglades, I’ve spent years exploring the backcountry, and getting to share it with families is one of my favorite parts of guiding.

Book a trip and I’ll show you the waters that raised me.
