Captain Pat brings a deep-rooted, lifelong connection to the Thousand Islands, a passion that began with his family’s history in the region dating back to 1875.

After spending his childhood summers navigating the St. Lawrence River in an aluminum outboard, Pat served in the Navy’s River Patrol Force during the Vietnam War and later enjoyed a distinguished career in the Air Force as a Radar Navigator and Bombardier in B-52s and B-1s. Following his military retirement and a subsequent career as a paramedic, he earned his USCG 50 Ton Master’s License. With over 15 years of experience captaining diverse vessels and delivering yachts across the Great Lakes and the East Coast, Pat now shares his extensive maritime expertise and local heritage with guests as a captain for Three Beagles LLC.
