About the Storm Petrel

Captain Doug Vincent is running the Storm Petrel this year, our 28ft Bertram Sport-fisherman. The Storm Petrel has comfortable inside seating, restroom, twin diesels and is U.S. Coast Guard equipped with all the required safety equipment.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia Captain Doug came up for a summer of adventure and fishing. The beautiful views of Alaska, the community of Homer, and getting to be on the water everyday are what made Doug call Homer his home. With Doug's quick-witted sense of humor and a little bit of bait you'll be sure to have a great day on the water.
