When planning time on the water, your captain is one of the most significant factors in your experience. Captains must know the water, surroundings, ecosystem, wildlife, and sea life. In addition, they must prioritize safety, communicate effectively, and have the ability to entertain guests!
At Peace River Charters, you’ll find seasoned captains working in the tourist attraction industry for years! They’re as knowledgeable as they are fun and will guarantee you’ll walk away with plenty of fun facts and memories to last! Read on to learn more about our Captains of the Month for 2023 so far.
