About Me

I am from New London, Connecticut, where I grew up listening to sea stories from my Submariner father and was enthralled with trips to the seaports of Mystic & Groton.

Following in my father's footsteps I also decided to pursue a career at sea. First becoming a certified Scuba Instructor and later a U.S. Coast Guard Certified Captain. I have spent my entire career working on the oceans of the world in Hawaii, Thailand, Palau, Philippines, Egypt, Puerto Rico, U.S Virgin Islands, Saba, St Kitts, St. Martin, Turks & Caicos and The Bahamas.

I moved to Chicago with my family in 2019 from Honolulu. In my free time I enjoy spending time on the lake with my wife and two boys, fishing, diving, swimming & tubing.

Captain & Crew Rate: $100/hr.

Price includes two crew members (if applies, reminder that all 40’+ boats require a deckhand)

3hr: $300.00 4hr: $400.00

Suggested Gratuity: 15-20% of the charter price.

I accept all payment methods, electronic and cash. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am certain you would want to see the credentials of any captain you hire; please ask me to share mine. If you would like to see the remainder or have any questions just let me know here. Or you can give me a call 808-600-4468.

Thank you, Captain Jonathan Zietlow
