Captain Jason DeShay hails from Seaside Park, NJ, where he grew up on the Barnegat Bay sailing hobie cats and sunfish. He spent much of his adolescence on the water helping his father on their commercial fishing vessel. Looking to broaden his horizons, he traveled the continental US and Europe, exploring and experiencing new cultures. Soon after, he met his wife, Bernadette, and discovering they share the same passion for the sea, they found their dream boat, Rarebird, a 40ft. sailboat. They soon decided the cruising and live-aboard life style suited them well. Over the past 5 years, they have cruised along the East Coast and Florida Keys. After spending some time in the Florida Keys, they decided to stay and make it their home port. Keeping in tune with his love of the ocean, Jay started a successful sport fishing charter business. He has become proficient in the in the art of inshore and offshore sport fishing and has a long list of species caught to his credit, including prized big game fish such as blue marlin. Capt. Jay is also an accomplished diver and is excited to be able to dive the warm clear waters in the Caribbean.

He has many stories and experiences to share and hopes you will share yours as well.
