I carry a USCG 100 Ton Masters with Sailing and Towing Endorsements. I have been a captain for over 25 years. I have operated research vessels, water taxis, and charter boats. I have held the title of, Boat Instructor, Lead Captain and Vessel Maintenance Operations Manager. I enjoy helping people learn and have fun in the boating environment. If you want to learn how to operate the boat you are renting, I would happy to show you or, if you and your family just want to have fun on the water, I can take the worry out of it.

I can offer you a view of the Jacksonville area that most don't get to see. From sandy beaches to the beautiful city skyline at night and all the sights in between. I can tailor your trip to your needs with a variety of services and locations destination. My boat is a 26' Glacier Bay 2640 and your limousine on the water. Very roomy, plenty of seating and an onboard bathroom. The catamaran hull glides through the water with ease. Sunset...

Glacier Bay is known for producing high-quality, ocean-going power catamarans. They're designed with functionality and comfort in mind, providing excellent stability and fuel efficiency. The boat is outfitted as versatile, luxury sport boat and features a spacious deck layout with plenty of room for fishing, diving, or other water activities.
