Meet The Crew

Jason is one of our experienced captains here at Carquinez Charters. With a passion for the water, Jason has captained boats of all sizes, including vessels over 100 feet long. When he’s not navigating the waterways, he’s working as a railroad engineer or enjoying time with his family—his wife and son, who live aboard their boat in Benicia, and his energetic blue heeler, Skipper, with whom he loves to play ball. Jason’s love for machinery, good music, and never sitting still makes him a perfect fit for life on the water, and his dedication to providing exceptional experiences for every guest shines through on every charter.

Taryn is the heart behind all the customization at Carquinez Charters. She truly believes there’s no better place to be than on the water, and she’s here to make sure your experience is smooth from start to finish. From your initial email communications to the day-of docking preparations, Taryn will be your go-to point of contact for everything, ensuring your celebration, adventure, or getaway is seamless. A natural at throwing a party, Taryn’s attention to detail and passion for unforgettable experiences will make your time with us worth every penny.
