Captain Kerrick

Captain Kerrick's love of boating started in 1984, as a middle-schooler whose family got their first boat on the Great South Bay of Long Island, New York. By 14 he'd bought his own — a 14-foot MFG Bowrider paid for with lawn-mowing money and shifts at the local deli — and two years later he upgraded to his father's old 24-foot Sea Ray, instantly one of the “coolest kids on the block.”

After many years and several boats, Kerrick and his family moved to Southwest Florida in 2002, and he's spent countless hours since exploring the waters of Lee and Collier Counties — from quiet back bays to the wild expanses of the Ten Thousand Islands.

Ask our guests and the same words keep coming back: fun, upbeat, professional, and full of good stories — his “Old Lady of the Sea” tale has its own fan club in our reviews. Expect safe, smooth handling, great music, plenty of laughs, and the right patch of water when the dolphins show.

Captains and crew rotate across the fleet and both home ports with the season and the tides, so we can't promise who'll be at your wheel on a given day — but every Sand Dollar trip runs with a local captain, USCG licensed & insured, and a crew that treats your day on the water like their own.
