MEET OUR CREW

Captain Frank, Captain Rick and Adrienne

Captain Frank Galati grew up on Anna Maria Island and has called this area home for over 40 years. Much of that time has been spent on these waters. Captain Frank’s charismatic and lovable personality ensures you’ll have a great time and will keep you coming back for more! Along with Captain Frank is Captain Rick. Captain Rick has also lived in the area for most of his life. Adrienne handles the marketing that brings it all together. They have been friends for over 30 years and with the launch of Shore Thing Tiki Cruises, have made their dream a reality.

Let them share their passion for the sea, good times, and friends with you and yours!

Captain Steven

I was born in St. Petersburg, FL but raised in Woodstock, GA. Florida was always my favorite vacation destination, however now that I’m lucky enough to call Florida my home, I look forward to cruises and attempting to snowboard in the mountains someday. Some of my favorite places on Anna Maria Island are The Waterfront Restaurant, Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub, Star Fish Company, Freckled Fin Irish Pub, and visiting the Coquina Beach Market. My hobbies include kayaking, volleyball, tennis, oil painting, rollerblading, hunting, fishing, taking my dog Roscoe to parks & beaches, grilling, scuba, darts, billiards as well as discovering new restaurants.

Roe

I’m from Chicago, IL and moved to Sarasota, FL in 2015. My favorite vacation destinations is Anywhere! I love to travel. My favorite place on AMI is the beach, Feast Restaurant, and Star Fish Company. My hobbies include sports, rafting/kayaking, fishing, boating/sailing, gardening, biking, working out, reading, hanging at the beach, snorkeling, traveling, hiking/bouldering, and cooking. I like to do everything and anything fun.

Captain Trevor

Captain Trevor grew up in California but left shorty after college for the beautiful state of Colorado, where he worked in the IT field. He missed the ocean so much that he took a job where he would commute to Miami and take people scuba diving in the Bahamas for a month at a time before returning to the mountains. That lifestyle proved unsustainable… so after a divorce, he moved to Fiji on a work visa to rediscover himself and start fresh. After Fiji, v. Trevor has called Bradenton home since 2020 and has been with the Shore Thing Tiki family since early 2022. When he’s not captaining our boats or having burgers and a beer at Skinny’s Place on AMI, he loves traveling the world in search of adventure.

Katie

I was born and raised in beautiful Bradenton, FL! My favorite vacation destination is anywhere with a beach. You can always find me in the sunshine by the ocean! My favorite restaurant on Anna Maria Island is Wicked Cantina. Some of my hobbies include going to the beach, trying new foods, and spending time with my family and friends.

Cathy

Originally from Stockholm, Sweden. I have enjoyed living in sunny Florida since 1981, in Fort Lauderdale originally, but since 1988, here in Bradenton where I raised my 2 daughters. West Coast is the BEST coast! I love being on or by the water and feel fortunate to be able to enjoy a position as First Mate here and share my knowledge about the history of this area and our beautiful dolphins, manatees and other local wildlife!

Kristina

I was born in Long Island New York but I’ve lived in Florida since I was 5 (so happy my family moved me here!) I’ve been working on boats for the past 5 years and love being on the water! My passion is to be around the Resident Dolphins Of Sarasota Bay! I feel so lucky to be able to explore them in there natural habitat and explain what I’ve learned about them over the year’s! My hobbies include boating, sailing, fishing and kayaking with my Pup Koa! I’ve been married to my best friend for the past 17 years and we are blessed with two amazing children! Looking forward to seeing you on the water!

Captain Justen

I’m an 8th generation Florida boy! I’ve been here for 40+ years and traveled all over this great country, but Florida is the state for me. My favorite hobbies include fishing, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, and really anything to do with the water. My grandparents and uncles becoming captains inspired me to the passion I hold on to so dearly. Inspiring or giving someone a memorable time is always my number one goal when out on the water.
