Above Average Charters

History

Established in 2001.

Captain Richard Nicajevsky has been charter fishing out of Clearwater Marina since July of 1990 and knows the waters very well. His experience, knowlege, sense of humor and reputation has made him one of Clearwater’s top Charter Boat Captains.

Here’s his story in a nut shell: back in July 1990, he got off of a plane from Colorado to Tampa, stepped on a charter boat in Clearwater Marina to work as a deck hand, caught a 12′ Hammer Head shark, and has been «hooked» ever since.

Around here, he’s known as «Rocket» and he loves what he does and it shows! How did «Rocket» come about? Well, you’ll just have to come and find out for yourselves.

He bought his own charter boat in January 2001, the «Above Average» which he still Captains today. After 12 years of working the business with his wife, Helen, we were able to expand with our second boat «Above Average 2» in October 2013, which is operated by Captain Mike.

So come out fishing with us, it’ll be the highlight of your Florida vacation
