⚓️ Welcome Aboard The Rookie Captain 🚤
Ahoy! I'm Jamie, your fellow adventurer and first-time boat owner, navigating life and learning as I go — all from a 33ft 1987 Chris Craft cruiser I got for free (yes, really!).
Here at The Rookie Captain, I share the highs, lows, and hilarious lessons of boat life — from engine rebuilds to epic fails. It’s raw, real, and a whole lot of fun.
