Meet Your Captain and Crew
Captain Mike
As owner and operator of the Chamonix II party boat, Capt. Mike has been
sailing since the age of 23 and considers himself a multi-hull enthusiast.!
Aboard his own catamarans and trimarans, Capt. Mike has cruised the
Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, Mediterranean, Red Sea and the San Juan
Islands in the Pacific Northwest.
Capt. Mike holds a 100 ton-inland commercial mariner’s license and has logged more than 30,000 coastal, ocean and
inland water miles. Several times each year he helps organize a flotilla of boats to the British Virgin Islands, one of
the most beautiful cruising places in the world and one that novice sailors enjoy with no worries.
Capt. Mike started his charter business to offer a unique corporate venue for entertaining customers and employees
in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. In Capt. Mike’s own words: “I love boats and sailing.! I want to take you on a mini
adventure right here in Dallas.! You will enjoy good food on our boat prepared by some fantastic caterers and
restaurateurs and you will leave the Chamonix II with a smile on your face, refreshed and eager to take a cruise like
this in the beautiful islands of the world one day”.

Our crew is committed to service. That’s because we love what we do and we love creating special, meaningful
moments for our passengers.! Each time we set sail, it creates an opportunity for us to do something unique and
magnificent. A great deal of logistics are required to book, coordinate and execute 200-300 charters per year.! But
that’s just what we do.!
We have an excellent office staff who can answer your phone calls and will create the event you need and want.
Our contract administrators will ensure that every event detail is coordinated and delivered on time so you have a
wonderful experience with us on the water.
We pride ourselves in keeping our vessel in tip-top shape.! All mechanical systems are checked weekly, all rigging
is checked annually by professional riggers, and the vessel is maintained cosmetically by our dedicated crew
