Your Crew

College Fund came to reality based on a very simple mission. "Do good things for people." Good things equals rest and relaxation, an awareness of nature around us, the excitement of a fight-well-fought, feeding the body and giving back. Before ever offering a single commercial charter, we've hosted fishing trips for active duty servicemembers, law enforcement and an auctioned trip to benefit victims of a major wildfire. We plan on keeping that up just as often as we can - doing good things for people.

Captain Aaron

College Fund Owner, USCG Licensed Captain

Aaron grew up on and around the waters of New England and the Great Lakes. From racing sailboats to dropping a line wherever he could, the water was always his happy place. Life, however, often intercedes. 9 years as a commissioned officer in the US Navy even sent him only to the desert, never to sea.

Never one to give up, in 2019 he finally moved back to the coast. In 2021, he found College Fund down in Key West and the adventure really began. Renting a car one way, he and a great first mate sailed her home to Charleston. Then the real work started, refurbishing and improving her step by step.

Captain Aaron is a lifelong student and, well, a nerd. He loves to learn about his boat, about Charleston, about targeted fish and everything in between. He loves to share. He'll chat about everything from the economics and history of the Port of Charleston to the importance of keystone species to the health of our marine environment. Don't forget cooking and breweries, too.

Players-to-be-named

So, hey, this is a new venture. We're learning and developing a cadre of First Mates to assist us out on the water, both fishing and cruising. Some are best at bottom fishing, some at serving you your BYOB beverages on a perfect harbor cruise. Whatever our itinerary, we'll be working to tailor the skill set to your needs.
