Captain Alan has over 5 decades of experience running boats. He decided to start running charters after a lifetime of fishing, to teach the public the right and moral way to fish. He also aims to teach his guests something about the sea and the wildlife they encounter. If you're lucky enough to see a sea turtle or other wildlife, you can bet that Capt. Alan will pause and tell you about them – ecology is very important to him.
