About Zac

“I grew up absolutely blessed with summer adventures on my family's sailboat, I started powerboating as soon as I was strong enough to pull start the outboard engine on my own. Shortly thereafter, boating adventures, waterskiing, wakeboarding, island hopping, and competitive sailing occupied any available time. I earned a bachelors degree and a teachers certification but after a couple years, I saw that going boating and teaching boating was so much more FUN than life teaching elementary school. I continued my education and earned a masters degree in education while working as a full time boating skills instructor and program administrator. With the heart of a teacher and the spirit of the water, I love life and haven't looked back. I'm a maritime professional with more than 18 years of professional experience with more than double that including recreational time on the water. As a long time St Petersburg resident I know our west coast Florida waterways, tides, weather, as well as all the best boat-only beaches, waterfront bars, shelling spots, and where to find the perfect sunset. I'm skilled at providing family-friendly or adult adventures, allow me to deliver exactly what you and your party desires for an absolutely prefect boat day. I'm a self proclaimed boat geek, a certified US Coast Guard Master (and a captain too), a US Powerboating Instructor and Instructor Trainer, as well as a US Department of the Interior Motorboat Operator Certification Course Instructor. I am able to help you develop your boating skills, share my local knowledge or provide you a carefree boat day. I'm mechanically adept, personable, easy going, and looking forward to our next boating adventure. Please reach out and let me know how I can customize and deliver your next perfect boat day. Live the Florida boat life and boat like a local!”

    Zac was amazing! He showed us some beautiful spots and "found" lots of dolphins for us. He was so pleasant to have around while always making sure everyone was safe!

    Our captain (Zac) was outstanding. Zac had great information about the St. Petersburg area and history, he knew all the most amazing (i.e. would have thought you were in the Caribbean) places to stop and enjoy the area, and provided us with complete confidence about being on the water. We would request Zac each time we rented a boat.
