Captain Dustin Harrison
As the proud owner and operator, Captain Dustin brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for saltwater adventures. Whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned pro, he has the gear and skills to ensure you have a memorable time. With over 10 years guiding in the tropical waters of the Caribbean—and 17 years fishing for halibut and salmon on Alaska's famed Kenai Peninsula—Dustin offers a rare blend of diverse fishing experience. Dustin holds his USCG Master license and is as committed to safety as he is fun. He looks forward to welcoming you aboard for an extraordinary day on the water!
Anj Glenn
Anj is a lifelong St. Johnian who grew up on the island's beautiful East End. She's been kayaking and snorkeling around St. John since she was just two years old and is passionate about sharing her love for the island—both above and below the water—with every guest. In addition to guiding, Anj is your go-to for all things charter coordination. She ensures everything runs smoothly for you and Captain Dustin, whether it's booking your trip, updating your reservation, or simply chatting about what we do. Her mission? To help make your fishing dreams come true.
Anj may be available as a snorkel guide for combo trips, if included there's no additional cost.
