The Man Behind the Helm
Over 20 years of exploring every mile of the California coast. This isn't a job — it's a lifelong passion.
Showing People the Language of the Ocean
My passion is showing people the language of the ocean: to give you a lens of ocean exploration I have curated from decades of personal adventures in and on the water. To engage people with a hand of knowledge and expertise to help people find a higher level comfort and understanding in the water.
Santa Barbara Boat Charters is an immersive experience for those seeking a hand-tailored outdoor adventure. These tours are the culmination of over 20 years of diving and exploring the California coast.
This is your one-stop shop for personalized Channel Islands experiences. Having dove and explored all 8 Channel Islands, I have compiled quite a few gems off our coast to share with my clients. From the massive sea caves of Santa Cruz to the remote shores of San Miguel — I know these waters like the back of my hand.
All I ask is that you maintain a curious eye and pay these magic lands the respect they deserve. Come find your new love of the ocean.
