Captain Steve Regan

Capt. Steve fell in love with fishing at the age of four when his family moved to Destin from Brunswick, GA in 1979. His father taught him the art of angling at a young age.

A family friend, Matt Ankney, put Steve to "work" at the age of ten cleaning his charter boat, the  Wahoo. He was later hired as a second mate to learn the trade and skills of a charter boat deckhand as a fisherman serving the public. 

In his teens, Steve earned summer income as a deck-hand while working for some of Destin's finest Boat Captains and Charter Boats including the Mindy Lou, Al-Lin, Donna Renee, Sea Venture, Come Sea, Small Change, Miss Destin III, Fish-n-Fool and Relentless. He also served as a mate on the sail boat Flying Eagle  and the Sea Screamer, a thrill ride vessel.  

After Sea School training, Steve obtained his initial U. S. Coast Guard Captain's License in 2000. He received his 50 Ton License in 2002 and 100 Ton License in 2007. Steve has worked as captain on the Fish-n-Fool, Breakaway  and  Lady K.  He is a member of the National Association of Charterboat Operators and the Destin Charter Boat Association.

In 2003, Steve purchased his first vessel the Aquarius III in Panama City which he renamed the Reel Addiction in Destin. 

After selling the Reel Addiction in 2006, Steve and his father purchased Haeusler Enterprises Inc. with the primary asset of the CB Cutting Edge  from Steve Haeusler, Captain of the CB First Light. After running the CB Cutting Edge for four seasons, Steve was hired as the captain for a private corporate vessel named the  Refuge from 2009 to 2010.

Captain Steve is now back doing what he has learned and what he enjoys at the helm of the Charter Boat Cutting Edge.  He loves people and likes to see them smile.
