As a native Floridian, I grew up on the gulf coast waters of St. Pete Beach. This is where my love for the water began. Having my own boat since the age of 10 strengthened my love for the water and my bond for fishing began. My father, a great influence in my life, taught me much about bottom/grouper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Allowing me to operate and navigate with only the use of a compass and a “bottom scratcher” at the age of 13. I quickly learned the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and all her mood swings. After 18 years in St. Pete, my family moved “north” to Citrus County, Florida.
I have been fishing the offshore waters of Crystal River and Homosassa for the past 20 years and have been a professional fishing guide for the last 7 years. I have won and/or placed in many of the local and Big Bend fishing tournaments including the local Cobia Big Fish tournament, Citrus County Builders Association (CCBA), Mel Tillis (fishing with Mel), and the Doug Johnson Reeling for Kids tournament to name a few.

“Captain Cephas is one of the best Captains around if your interested in bottom fishing for the day or even overnight he has you covered I have been on a lot of charters all over Florida and I had a trip that another captain was supposed to do but got sick so Cephas took us out and that was back in 2012 and I have not been out with another charter boat in Florida since he is very knowledgeable and can put you on the fish he has all the equipment to keep you safe while on the water as well when you go out with seven C's charter you have no worries at all except to catch fish he takes care of everything else for you"
