Eco Tours. Meet groovy, grumpy, gorgeous and gruesome sea creatures caught in the Cortez "critter getter." A hands on nature tour.

Fishing Charters. You can go on a tour with fishing equipment and help someone pay for their overpowered boat or go catch some fish with a knowledgable fourth generation commercial fisherman and native Cortezian.

Sightseeing Boat Tour. Scenic, beautiful, peaceful interaction with all things natural and serene. Bring a picnic basket and camera. Better than a spa at a fraction of the price.

Rates. No hidden fees. Best rates in town!

Contact. Call or email Captain Kathe!
