How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Been sailing for over 40 years and decided to share the experience with other people that haven't had the opportunity.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Capt Kidd is the only USCG inspected sailboat in the Houston/Galveston area. Capt Kidd is also the only sailboat operating as a "head" boat in the region, "Head" boat means people are charged by the head or per person and it's not necessary to charter the whole boat. This makes it more affordable for the individual or family to go sailing.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Our only location is in Kemah.
