What Is The Rookie Captain All About?
Glad you asked! I’m Jamie, your not-so-seasoned-but-seriously-determined boat owner who was handed a 33 ft. Chris Craft cruiser for free. Sounds awesome, right? Until I realized it needed more TLC than a baby sea turtle.
This site is where I document every win, fail, and floating disaster—from DIY boat repairs to boating basics and safety tips. I’m here to help other rookie boaters learn the ropes without falling overboard (literally or financially).
Oh—and did I mention the shop? You’ll find funny, bold, and occasionally inappropriate boating merch to show off your sea legs in style.
