Hi All!

I want to reach out and introduce myself. My name is Pete and I am from the the Hilton Head, SC area. I am a former California Maritime Academy graduate and sailed commercially all over the world and on a variety of vessels, including private yachts and cruise ships. I have since returned back to land to do something a little different. I am starting something I think is pretty cool and would love some feedback and to open a discussion. I have always been a huge fan of the ranger tug and very excited to be offering bareboat charters on the ICW with a Ranger Tug. The hope is that this is going to open up the South-East ICW cruising to those on the west coast who may not want to bring their boat across the states. Also anyone from anywhere who has experience on similar sized boats and wants to experience the amazing waterways in our backyard. We are starting with one vessel this season and hope to grow our fleet and offer flotillas soon.

We also offer "test the life style" trips which are shorter and have a captain onboard during the day and leave you to enjoy the vessel at night. Have a look at our website and let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Excited to apart of this great community. We will be at the charleston boat this year and most likely trawler fest 2026. If you are happening to be going, please stop by and say hi!

I suggest you change your boat picture on the opening page of the link. I am not sure what make that boat is, but it is not a Ranger Tug despite the lettering on the side, which appears to be photoshopped in.
