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, and wildlife. In addition, they must prioritize safety, communicate effectively, and have the ability to entertain guests.
The captains here at Peace River Charters fit the bill. Here, you’ll find seasoned captains who are as knowledgeable as they are fun and will guarantee you’ll walk away with memories to last! Read on to learn more about the perks of touring with a Peace River Charter captain.

SImply put, our captains have “time on the water.”
