Meet Our Leader

Captain David Holley
General Manager & CEO

Captain David Holley has been in the boating and offshore fishing business for over forty-three years. He has worked for some of the largest fiberglass yacht builders in the world in every capacity, including Plant Manager.

In the early 1980’s, Captain Holley broke away from the manufacturing business to pursue his love for deep sea fishing and adventure. After crafting a thirty-six foot custom commercial fishing trawler, he spent ten years fishing the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico in pursuit of American Red Snapper, Grouper, and Greater Amberjack.

His experience on the sea made him understand more than ever the importance of a safe, well-built vessel. Captain Dave has seen some rough waters — including Class 1 hurricane winds two hundred miles offshore. He has lost good friends to the sea whose boats didn’t come home, and that’s why he and his crew are committed to quality repairs and materials that keep you and your family safe.
