I grew up in the blue ridge mountains. My first attempt at college involved a degree in sculpture. Eventually, I realized that would not offer a job description, quit school and followed a boyfriend down to Key West. He left, I stayed and got a job on a boat. It became my new career choice, and I spent the next decade taking snorkelers to the reef, and running wild dolphin excursions. Eventually I returned to the mountains of Asheville, NC...went back to school and finished my degree in interior design this time. A creative outlet with a job description. After three years behind a desk, I realized that I was only good until about two-a-clock on a Monday. Attempting to get back on the water, I bought a little boat and moved north, just outside NYC. I worked on the ferry boats around Manhattan, which was amazing! After a couple of years (and true winter) the Keys were calling me home. I finally returned to my true calling. It’s good to be back, and I can’t wait to take you out on a tiki boat adventure!
Captain Jed Jed was born in Pennsylvania and retired in Key West!. He enjoyed swimming, taking short walks around Key West, peanut butter, taking naps, hanging out with his little brother, Scrappy, and modeling for our t-shirt logo (Did you recognize him?). RIP Jed 10/18/07 to 12/14/21
First-Mate Scrappy Scrappy is a pitbull-dachshund rescued from a "kill shelter" in West Virginia.

Scrappy dislikes water (unfortunate for being a first mate!) and getting his nails cut.
