The San Juan Islands have been his home for the last 20 years. Mark is an avid outdoorsman and has run boats there for years. In addition to sharing his expertise and experience with customers, he shares his dream of working on the water which has been a lifelong ambition for him.

Since he was ten years old, Craig has been operating boats in the San Juan Islands. Fishing was almost always a part of his weekend outings on the islands with his dad. The San Juan Islands are like a second home to him. His dream of working on the water became a reality when he decided to follow his dream. After getting his captain's license in 2021, he decided to launch a water taxi service from Bellingham with his friend Mark.

Born and raised in Bellingham, WA, Jenny has spent much of her life on the water and exploring the islands of the Salish Sea. She brings her passion for logistics, local knowledge, and a deep love of the islands to the team.

When she’s not working closely with the captains and coordinating trip logistics, you can find her in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, tending her garden and hanging out with her dogs.

Lorna is a life long Whatcom County resident. When she is not at work at the hospital as a Clinical Dietitian or helping kids with homework, she enjoys spending time with family, gardening, hiking and baking.  In her spare time you’ll find her deck handing on the boat for her husband Craig or helping with other miscellaneous business matters.

Kaiden has been on the islands with his dad, Mark, ever since a car seat could fit on the boat. He is our go-to deckhand and Captain in training. Most customers will find Kaiden on the boat during the summer months. during the school year, his time is filled with playing football for Mt. Baker High School. He also enjoys fishing and hunting whenever time allows.

Steve has lots of stories to tell. He started his career with Foss Tug & Barge and is ending his career helping his son in law, Craig, by deck handling. He enjoys fishing, crabbing and talking to people.  You’ll surely hear about his 93 year old mother.
