Captain Bob's affinity for the high-seas began early in life on the waters of Lake Champlain, between NY and Vermont, where his life for water and sailing began. He pioneered Murray's Sailing School—the first on Lake Champlain—and at age 21 received his official Captain’s License.
Captain Bob’s relocation to Charleston is a common transplant tale: After a wonderful vacation, he decided never to leave. After permanently unpacking his bags Captain Bob began chartering sailboats and powerboats. Eventually, Bob decided to embark on being a professional captain as a full time career.
In 2006, Captain Bob embarked on his current adventure. He purchased and renovated a 100-foot luxury yacht he named "Carolina Girl." After purchasing the boat Bob decided to personally captain the Carolina Girl from Maine to its final home at Ripley Light Yacht Club in the Charleston Harbor.
