Captain Woody has spent a life on the water - operating, building and repairing boats. Starting as a boy rowing boats in St Mary’s County, Maryland then working on the Choptank River, Chesapeake Bay and up and down the East Coast. Retiring from his cabinet making business, Captain Woody purchased Dudley in 2017. Dudley is now US Coast Guard Inspected Small Passenger Vessel certified to carry up to 28 passengers.
