About BlackBone Outfitters

Built by anglers. Built for anglers.

BlackBone Outfitters was founded in 2024 by two Florida natives and college roommates, Anthony Scalisi and Ethan Architetto, united by a shared obsession with the water and a vision for something better in fishing travel. Inspired by Maverick, Anthony's wife's beloved dog and his namesake BlackBone toy, the brand was built to give anglers of every level access to the world's greatest fisheries through fully managed, end-to-end trip planning. Every partner in their portfolio is personally vetted by the founders, who remain active on the water themselves, with Anthony on the flats of the Everglades and South Florida and Ethan on the offshore and inshore grounds of Grand Bahama, where his family is originally from. BlackBone exists to deliver personal, impactful fishing experiences worldwide, working only with the best in the industry, on every trip, every time.

Connecting people and wild places together!

What we stand for

BlackBone was born to connect people to people and people to wild places. We exist to inspire adventure, build community through travel, and create opportunities for anglers of all backgrounds to explore the world with purpose. Whether through apparel, hosted trips, or conservation-minded initiatives, we aim to leave every destination better than we found it and help others do the same.

More than a Slogan...

Leave Only Footprints is our commitment to responsible travel. We believe in exploring the world without taking from it through respecting local cultures, reducing impact, and supporting the destinations that welcome us. From choosing lodges rooted in sustainability to working with guides who give back to their communities, we promote travel that protects the very places we come to enjoy.

intention, respect, and passion.

The BlackBone Way is simple: live with intention, travel with respect, and fish with passion. We prioritize meaningful experiences over checklists, real connections over curated moments, and adventure over comfort. Our approach blends professionalism with grit with the mindset of doing things the right way, even when no one’s watching. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and the one we bring to every trip we plan.

BlackBone is built around people. From anglers and travelers to the guides, captains, and lodge teams around the world who make these experiences possible. We celebrate local culture, support small operations, and believe the best stories come from the people we meet along the way. Our goal is to create a global community of travelers who care for the destinations they explore and the people who call them home.
