Captain Mike's Adventures

Hi, I'm Captain Mike, a USCG Master Captain, husband, and follower of Jesus Christ.

For many years, I owned and operated Soundside Tours in Emerald Isle, North Carolina, growing it into one of the area's leading charter businesses. In 2025, my wife and I answered God's call, sold our home and business, left our children and grandchildren, and moved to Florida to begin a new chapter at 58.

This channel is the story of that journey.

Follow along as I build Chubby Mermaid Charters, explore Florida by motorcycle, boat, and car, discover hidden places and incredible wildlife, and share the victories, setbacks, and lessons of starting over.

If you've been with me since Soundside Tours, welcome back. If you're new here, I'm glad you found us.

Welcome aboard.
