Prior to his yachting days, Captain Tucker was in charge of several live aboard SCUBA diving vessels in the South Pacific, Central America, Caribbean and the Bahamas. A couple of the charter yachts he has captained are Hoosier Lady & Calex, covering Nova Scotia to St Lucia, and Legacy, which was based in Alaska.
