Twenty years ago we met on the back deck of a work party, dragged there by our wives. Within minutes we were talking fishing, boats, and the dream of one day having a place in the Caribbean with a boat at the dock. That conversation kicked off a lifelong friendship and a shared idea of how we wanted to fish.
We fished hard together — first a single-engine 26′ Cobia, then our beloved 32′ Cape Horn center console KielBassSEA. Double overnighters 110 miles out in 3,000 feet of water with nothing but bean bags and boat fenders for creature comforts. Mako, swordfish, yellowfin, mahi, and the still-standing Connecticut state record albacore.
Then life happened. Careers, families, kids. We sold the boat, but the obsession never went anywhere — it just sat quietly in the background. Now the kids are older, the fire is back, and we built the offshore program we always wanted: easier, more accessible, more affordable, and fully on our terms.
