Summary
I have spent my entire life on the water, growing up in Miami. My father had a part time business as a commercial spear fisherman and lobster diver, where we harvested fish and lobsters from Miami and the Keys to Bimini.
I also conducted Eco Tours in the east Everglades on my own airboat charters,
As a Boat Captain, I excel in delivering enriching tours and elevating passenger satisfaction while ensuring safety and compliance with maritime laws. My tenure as a self employed tour guide showcases adept vessel navigation and maintenance, alongside fostering environmental stewardship. Skilled in boat handling and passenger care, I consistently prioritize marine conservation and customer experience.
