Meet Your Captain: 

​

Captain Ray’s lifelong passion for the water began at 14 years old. Since 1966, he has captained a wide range of vessels, crafting a career defined by innovation, adventure, and hospitality. His maritime resumé reads like a journey through some of the world’s most scenic waterways:

  • 1970 – 2000: Owner/Operator of Snow Mountain Camp, home to a groundbreaking water ski program.

  • 2001 – 2016: Owner/Operator of Kona Sea Sports, widely known as Shogun Charters, offering unforgettable excursions in Hawaii—from sport fishing and scuba diving to dolphin and whale encounters, snorkeling, and daytime manta adventures.

  • 2016 – 2020: Solo captain navigating Florida’s Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and venturing offshore to the stunning Bahamas and Abaco Islands.

  • 2022 – 2025: Owner/Operator of Captain Ray’s River Tours, showcasing the scenic beauty of Stockton's waterways.

 

     After two thrilling decades in Hawaii and Florida, Captain Ray charted a course back to his California roots. His trusted vessel, Victoria’s Seacret, made the journey from Florida to her new home at Village West Marina in Stockton, CA—where she now serves as your launchpad to explore the majestic California Delta.

​

     With a spotless safety record and an infectious passion for life on the water, Captain Ray is ready to welcome you aboard. Whether you're seeking relaxation, exploration, or a touch of adventure, he’s dedicated to making your day on the Delta absolutely unforgettable.
