Welcome Captain Jim E!

Guest Kenny Newhouse & Captain Jim for a photo op. Kenny has been visiting us on our cruises since he was just 4 years old!

Growing up in Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Jim has always had a love for the water. Whether it be fishing on the Atlantic or sailing on the bay the mid Atlantic is beautiful country, but for him the winters were long and the summers way too short. After becoming a licensed captain he and his wife started spending their winters in the Florida Keys running dive boats, fishing and getting sunburnt in January. THEY WERE HOOKED!

Captain Jim and his wife moved to Southwest Florida in 1996. He feels this area is rich with sealife, wildlife, and has such a fascinating history, he truly continues to learn something new every day.

"Being part of the team at AIP is a real pleasure. I meet people from all over the world and get to experience with them our slice of Paradise!" - Captain Jim E
