Meet Wayne, one of our incredible skippers! 🚀

With over 35 years of boating experience, Wayne has been an essential part of our team since 2013. Not only is he a skilled skipper, but he's also a passionate photographer with a vast wealth of knowledge of the local area. πŸ“Έ

One of his top spots? Jimmy Judd Island is one of his favourites, however, it's tough to pick with all the amazing locations and wildlife he spots along the way!

We're lucky to have Wayne on board, and we can't wait for you to experience the magic of the waters with him! 🌊
