Reef Runner's co-founder, worked in the travel industry virtually her entire career. Her passion for the water motivated her to leave the traditional agency world behind to run Reef Runner Boating and Reef Runner Sailing. While busy with strategic planning, marketing, maintaining the web sites, and researching and developing charter itineraries, Tish still enjoys getting out on the water every chance she gets.
At the age of 12, Pete stepped into his first sailboat, a borrowed Sunfish, and sailed in his first race on a lake in upper New Jersey. Since then he has never been without some form of water craft, enjoying both powerboats and sailboats. Pete is the founder of Reef Runner Boating and Reef Runner Sailing. He holds a USCG 100GT Masters license and ASA teaching certifications and has over 30 years experience in the Gulf waters around Panama City.
