Dolphin Deep Sea Fishing was founded by John Georgiou. John is a second generation Greek who was born in Chester, PA. and then relocated to Tarpon Springs. He bought his first boat, the Plastiras that operated from 1947 to 1952 as a sponge boat, cultivating sponges from the Gulf of Mexico. 
In 1952, John bought a second boat, the Aspasia. The Aspasia was used to carry charter passengers and spent most of its time out in the Gulf of Mexico. It later got promoted for fishing charters. 
The Plastiras was John's first boat and was initially used to cultivate sponge. After a while, the Plastiras was used for sponge diving exhibitions.
