He grew up on Mercer Island, Washington, spending much of his time on Lake Washington and Lake Union wakeboarding, water skiing, and exploring the area's waterways. From an early age he also cruised extensively through the San Juan Islands with his family, developing a strong foundation in navigation, seamanship, and safe vessel operation. Captain Jay holds a U.S. Coast Guard 100-Ton Master Captain's License and is CPR certified. He has operated professionally as a charter captain for more than four years, leading private yacht charters focused on providing guests with a relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable experience on the water. He specializes in charters on Lake Washington and Lake Union, including sightseeing cruises, swimming outings, sunset cruises, Husky sailgating, and special-event charters during Seafair and the Fourth of July. Having spent most of his life boating these waters, he knows the best cruising routes, scenic anchorages, and ideal viewing locations for many of Seattle's biggest waterfront events. Guests appreciate Captain Jay's calm leadership, strong focus on safety, and deep local knowledge, along with the welcoming atmosphere he creates on board for every charter.
