From Captain Steve Leopold
"My Name is Captain Steven Leopold and I would like to welcome you aboard the Yabba Dabba Doo.
I have been a full-time charterboat Captain here in the Florida Keys for the past 17 years. Being a South Florida native, I have been fishing ever since I could hold a fishing rod. As a charterboat Captain, I enjoy the great fishing experiences and have the pleasure of spending my days with people from around the world who have fun fishing aboard the Yabba Dabba Doo. I remember back as a kid walking down "charter boat row" and thinking how much fun this could be! And here I am enjoying watching and teaching anglers of all ages the thrills of fishing in the Beautiful Florida Keys.
"Let's Go Fishing!"
