Originally from South GA, I've been around boats all my life. I became a professional yacht captain 27 years ago, running boats from 40' up to 155'. I've been based in Fort Lauderdale since 2001 and have gained extensive knowledge of the waters and yachting industry throughout South Florida. In January 2023, I decided to take my passion for boating to a whole new level, allowing me to use my knowledge and experience to meet visitors from around the world, giving them an unforgettable experience.
