Born and raised in Rochester, NY, Captain Chad grew up exploring the lakes and bays of upstate New York. A spontaneous trip to Key West turned into a life-changing adventure when a missed flight home led him to a job at a local boat rental shop—and a new calling on the water.
Over the past 12 years, Chad has built a career in the Florida Keys, earning his 100-Ton Master Captain’s License and guiding everything from jet ski tours to private charters. Now based in Miami, he runs a 49-passenger party vessel where he shares his passion for the ocean with every group that comes aboard.
For Captain Chad, life on the water isn’t just work—it’s where he belongs, and he’s here to make sure your time on the water is unforgettable.
