CAPTAIN JACK
Hailing from Clarkston, Michigan, Captain Jack is setting sail on his fifth season aboard The Discovery—and his third full season as captain! After wrapping up school and hanging up his baseball glove, Jack followed his love for the water all the way to Traverse City. There, he jumped aboard as a crew member, earned his sea legs (and captain’s license), and never looked back.
Jack takes his role seriously—safety is always priority number one for his passengers, crew, and vessel—but don’t let that fool you. He’s always up for a good conversation, especially about where you’re from and what brought you to this beautiful corner of the world. Northern Michigan has a special place in Jack’s heart, and he’s proud to share its magic from the best seat in the house: the captain’s chair.
His favorite memories on The Discovery? Cruising between Traverse City and St. Ignace, and watching the Blue Angels soar overhead during the Cherry Festival.
Whether it’s your first time aboard or your tenth, Captain Jack is ready to welcome you aboard with a steady hand, a warm smile, and a genuine love for life on the water.
