With 15 years as a licensed yacht captain and working in the private event industry as a DJ and producing my own events, I’ve brought my love for boating and event production together to provide an exceptional time on the water for you and your guests. While acting as your captain, I also see myself as a host and build out the perfect timeline for your day out on the water. From catering to water toy rentals, I have the connections & crew that’ll provide you with a tailored white-glove experience.
