Best experience ever! My now-husband was trying to plan a surprise proposal in September of 2020 when he contacted Russ. Unfortunately, the weather was really choppy and Russ originally declined my husbands plan for a charter boat, but when my husband mentioned he wanted to propose to me near the lighthouse, Russ went above and beyond and made it possible! He is a genuine and caring soul. He even gave us some history of the area and how he started his business. I can only imagine how wonderful his charter boats are! Words cannot describe how touched we were with this experience. I will never

A great captain and boat. Been out three times with Russ and totally enjoyed the experiences. Knowledgeable, professional and respectful and patient with the beginners like our 10 year old granddaughter.
