Captain Dave is the owner, operator, and captain. He is a United States Coast Guard Certified Master Captain earning his credential from the Maritime Institute in San Diego, California.

A North Fork native, Captain Dave has been operating in the waters surrounding the East End of Long Island for over 20 years. With experience operating all over the country - from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California, to the Gulf of America off the coast of Alabama and Florida – he knew there was no place like home.

After completing his time in the United States Marine Corps, it was a dream to start a charter business back on the North Fork. With a passion for fishing and a love of the water, he spends his free time reeling in anything that swims and spending time with his family.
