Captain Dan Faoro

The Man Behind the Wheel

I'm Captain Dan Faoro. I've been fishing the waters off Delaware for fifty years — since back when this was just where my family came to fish, not a business. I grew up learning the wrecks, the reefs, the seasons, and the canyons.

I run small trips — up to six anglers — because that's how you actually catch fish and have a good day doing it. Whether it's a family putting their first kid on a rod, a group of friends chasing tuna offshore, or just a few of us working the wrecks for sea bass, the goal is the same: a good day on the water, and a cooler worth bringing home.

My crew and I will put you on fish, teach you what we know, and get you back to the dock with stories worth telling. That's the whole job.

On The Water

Fifty years of knowing
where the fish are.

A day on the Good Grief isn't just about the catch — it's about being on the water with someone who's spent a lifetime learning every wreck, reef, and current off the Delaware coast.
