Connect to the coast

Our mission is to deliver exceptional boat charter experiences that connect people to Connecticut’s waters. Our safe and sustainable day trips support marine biology research, photography expeditions, and general enjoyment on the water. Collaborating with schools, researchers, conservationists, and creatives, we aim to deepen understanding of marine ecosystems, promote stewardship of our oceans, and capture compelling imagery that inspires protection of the natural world.

Research

We collaborate with school groups, nonprofits, and other groups seeking to study, protect, and preserve our shoreline ecosystems.

Photography

Are you just looking for a reason to hang out on the water? We can do that. Bring a kayak along, and we’ll take you to some great off-shore spots!

Recreation

Our photography trips bring you to unique vantage points for shoreline photography. Don’t have a destination in mind? We’re happy to provide suggestions!

Science & storytelling

Whether you know where you want to go, or want to know more about what the Connecticut coast has in store for you, we can give you information and get you there. We transport research teams to testing sites; help photographers find unique angles; or simply provide a venue where you can relax and enjoy the view.
