The Experience

My niche 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.

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!

“Captain Garrick is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled and accommodating. He gave us a magical tour of the islands on a perfect day out on the channel. His experience on boats and as a spear fisherman showed in his amazing stories, local knowledge of the islands and its wildlife, and in his smooth demeanor. And such good pricing! Would highly recommend chartering him.”

“We had the BEST TIME on Garrick’s boat! He is the best captain, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. He seems to have a direct line of communication with the whales, dolphins and sharks, leading us directly to them. Most of all though, his warm personality and humor made it one of the best days of my summer. I’ve taken many boat tours over the years and this is one I will never forget!!! Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience.”
