About Me

Hello, I am Captain Dave Krell. I am a US Coast Guard licensed 100 Ton boat captain. I have over 40 years of power boating experience operating on Lake Michigan, US Rivers, Intercoastal Waterways, Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean. I grew up on boats, and I have spent every summer of my life on the water. It's my Zen Zone. Whether it's going to party in the Play Pen, seeing the fireworks, or just seeing the sites of the city. With 100's of charters completed, it will always be a safe but great time with me as your captain! You will love the experience. All your stresses will melt away! CPR/AED First Aid Certified.

Want to get married at sea? I am also an ordained Minister!
