Jessica Harvey was born and raised in the Caribbean, where a lifelong love of the ocean and wildlife was shaped by time spent on the water with her family. From as young as five years old, she joined her father (Dr. Guy Harvey) on fishing and diving expeditions around the world, experiences that inspired both her passion for marine conservation and her pursuit of big game fishing.
An accomplished angler, Jessica holds 14 fishing records, including several IGFA world records, with standout achievements such as landing a 600-pound swordfish that is believed to be one of the largest caught on rod and reel in the past 30 years! She also has a deep passion for underwater photography, documenting free-swimming billfish and marine life across the globe.
Today, Jessica serves as CEO of the Guy Harvey Foundation, leading global efforts in marine research and education. She hosts Guy Harvey Expeditions in Guatemala and Panama and leads the Foundation’s bi-annual Stingray Survey in Grand Cayman, helping advance critical ocean science and conservation initiatives.
As a Guy Harvey Brand Ambassador, Jessica represents the brand’s commitment to ocean conservation, scientific research, and inspiring future generations to protect the waters they love.
