Jean
I have a great job! Born in KY and lived for many years in WI, I moved to FL 13 years ago and have loved every minute of it! I have a very special friend, my dog Coco; a miniature dachshund whom I love very much. My hobbies are golfing, going to the beach , dancing and any thing water related! My job is very fun! I get to socialize and assist the guests with their needs. I love being on the water!

Matt
I’ve spent my entire life here in SWFL and out on our water ways. I spend the majority of my free time out on the water fishing, kayaking, and exploring our outer islands. I love to sight fish our beaches for snook and tarpon during the summer months, and when our mild winter hits us, I’m out roaming the flats of Pine Island Sound fly fishing for tailing redfish and trout. I even have a part time job bartending to help support the boat and addictive fishing habits. I have been with AIP since 2005 and plan on sticking around for the the years to come.
