Captain Sean Dwyer wiki/bio, age, net worth, wife, kids, facts.

Unlike most of the captains featured on Deadliest Catch who are more often than not rage monsters, Captain Sean Dwyer is a mellow sort of fellow. On the helm of fishing vessel Brenna A, Sean is calm and calculating but underneath his calm demeanor, Sean can also be calculating and manipulative.

In this article, we take a closer look at the Wiki bio of Captain Sean Dwyer.

Sean Dwyer is an American commercial fisherman and reality television personality. He is best known as the captain of  Brenna A on the Discovery Channel show “Deadliest Catch.” Sean has an estimated net worth of $650,000 as of 2024.

Early Life:

Sean Dwyer was born on March 8, 1992, in Washington, United States. He is the son of  Jenny Gore Dwyer and Pat Dwyer. He grew up in Kenmore, Washington.

He would join his father abroad on the commercial fishing vessel Jennifer A as early as the age of 13. His early experience includes fishing Salmon in Southeast Alaska.  Sean attended Inglemoor Senior High School in Kenmore Washington and graduated high school in 2010.

Deadliest Catch

At the age of 21, Sean was the youngest guy on the ship but had years of experience behind him. He began his journey during the Salmon fishing season. On the helm, Sean did justice to his crew who had little fishing experience. Sean referred to his crew as The Lost Boys and was respected by his crew. After all, only a few of them had fishing experience and Sean managed to turn his ragged crew into a well-oiled machine.

He joined Deadliest Catch in season 12 as the captain of F/V Brenna A, a boat that belonged to his late father, Pat Dwyer.  Sean was the youngest captain on the show at the time, and he faced many difficulties and dangers as he tried to fulfill his father’s legacy and quota. He also had to deal with his mother’s rare cancer diagnosis and his crew’s loyalty issues. He appeared on the show for four seasons until season 15, when he and his crew did not return.
