our captain

Mike Barto
Meet Capt. Barto – the man who’s spent more time on the water than a mermaid with a caffeine addiction. With over 40 years of experience navigating the waterways of the Lowcountry, he’s like a fish with a driver’s license.
Not only that, but he’s also a certified Coast Guard captain, meaning he knows all the rules and regulations better than a traffic cop at a roundabout. But enough about his credentials, let’s talk about what really matters – his personality. He’s as friendly as a golden retriever and as approachable as a bar of soap. So, whether you’re a tourist or a local, he’s the perfect guide for your next maritime adventure. When he’s not busy being Captain Awesome, he’s out surfing, kiting, playing tennis, or exploring the local waterways with his family and friends. Basically, he’s living the dream.
