Captain Daniel of Rare Breed Charters is based out of Ponce Inlet, Florida. As a 100-ton USCG Master Captain, Daniel brings a deep passion for adventure, precision, and the culture of the outdoors. Specializing in nearshore and offshore premium private fishing charters, Rare Breed offers more than just a day on the water: it delivers unforgettable experiences, led by a true outdoorsman.

Born and raised in Key West, Captain Daniel is a self-taught fisherman and lifelong archery enthusiast who has spent decades mastering his craft, both on land and at sea. His deep respect for nature, combined with his ability to teach, guide, and inspire, sets him apart from the average charter captain. Through Rare Breed Charters, he shares his expertise with anglers of all levels, creating experiences that blend high-level fishing with a genuine love for the water and what it means to be part of the great outdoors.

Daniel is also the owner of Gobblers Lodge 3D Archery Range & Pro Shop, one of Florida’s top destinations for archery enthusiasts. With both Rare Breed Charters and Gobblers Lodge under Rare Breed Outdoors, his mission is clear: to live, teach, and pass on the heritage of the outdoors.

Rare Breed Outdoors is more than just a brand: it’s a lifestyle. It’s about embracing something authentic, adventurous, and unapologetically different. Rare Breed isn’t just a name: it’s a legacy. A legacy built on the belief that being unique in a world that values conformity is something to be proud of. It’s about doing things the right way, sharing knowledge, and elevating the outdoor experience for those who are called to the hunt or the water.

“We are not just hunters and fishermen. We are true purveyors of a culture that is most prestigious. Our greatest accomplishments come from sharing those passions and professions with others. We are Rare Breed.”
