'J' is for Jeff
USCG Master Captain Jeff Stephens is all about boats. While other kids were taking their bikes to school – at age 11 Jeff took his boat. He has since chartered the islands, and been at the helm in all kinds of weather on all kinds of boats, including the only Floating Chapel in the Western Hemisphere www.floatingchapelonthebay.com
Sailing is how he learned to work with mother ocean’s wind and current. His sailing experience has enhanced his skills for boats of all types.
In his previous life, Captain Jeff was a corporate businessman and his life was all about all things automotive. He literally grew up in all phases of the industry in the family business. Back in the day he even had his own race car, traveling to regional race events throughout the southeast.
Now he pursues his true love - boating. Currently he is the captain of Idylwild, a 41’Maincat docked at Twin Dolphin Marina during the week. Idylwild travels to historical Cortez, FL on the weekends and docks at the Seafood Shack for easy access to Egmont Key, a popular snorkel adventure daytrip that includes lunch. Captain Jeff brought Idylwild back to her home on the Gulf Coast after spending 2010 in Key West, where literally thousands of satisfied customers shared lifetime memories on Facebook.
He also owns Island Pearl, a 65 passenger ferryboat available for resort/restaurant pick ups and excursions in and around Anna Maria Island. Like her on Facebook!
Whatever your nautical needs, Captain Jeff will see to them with day sails, sunsets and/or private charters. Visit www.kathleend.net or www.idylwild.net for pricing and reservation information.
Captain Jeff is a Sea School instructor, helping future captains to reach their dreams.
He's also captain/owner of a classic 33 Bertram Now and Then (see photo), which he re-powered with diesel engines.
Reserve some time with the captain. Available for:
· Local charters
· International charters
· Deliveries
· Private boating lessons
