Captain Doug's Story

🏴‍☠️⚓ From the Deck of the USS Nimitz to Tampa Bay — Captain Doug’s Story ⚓🇺🇸
Captain Doug’s time on the water didn’t start with charters — it started with service. While serving in the United States Navy aboard the USS Nimitz (aircraft carrier), Doug crossed the Arctic Circle, earning membership in the Loyal Order of the Blue Nose — a naval tradition reserved for sailors who’ve made that legendary crossing.
And that sea time didn’t stop there… Captain Doug has logged over 300,000 nautical miles. That’s right — 300,000+ nautical miles of real-world experience in changing weather, high-traffic waters, and mission-ready conditions.
Why does that matter for you?
Because naval traditions aren’t just ceremonies — they’re built on discipline, safety, preparedness, and respect for the sea. That mindset is exactly what Captain Doug brings to SunChaser Charters today:
✅ Calm, confident leadership on the water
✅ Safety-first decisions without killing the fun
✅ Pro-level navigation and situational awareness
✅ Storm-season readiness and serious vessel care
✅ A captain who treats your time — and your boat — with respect
Whether you’re booking a custom charter, learning to dock like a pro, or putting a trusted captain on standby for vessel management and storm prep… you’re getting experience you can feel from the moment you step aboard.
