We're Back Afloat

After an unexpected break, Wake Zone is officially back for Season 2. Life got busy, schedules got chaotic, Capt. Vin had surgery, and the boating season showed absolutely no mercy — but somehow we found our way back behind the microphones. In this episode, we catch everyone up on where we’ve been, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and what we’re looking forward to this season both on and off the water. We’re talking boating season chaos, new stories, upcoming adventures, industry talk, and everything we’ve got planned for Season 2. Of course, it wouldn’t be Wake Zone without a little insanity mixed in. Capt. Jess shares the story of a boat transport from hell that quickly turned into one of those “you can’t make this up” days on the water. Real stories. Salty humor. Season 2 starts now. ⚓

Ep. 19: Thanksgiving Water Cooler

Pull up a chair and pass the leftovers—it’s our Thanksgiving Water Cooler episode! This week we ditch the agenda and talk about a whole bunch of random stuff, from boating stories and seasonal observations to whatever else happens to come up. It’s laid-back, unscripted, and full of the kind of conversations you’d expect around the water cooler (or dock) during the holidays. Perfect listening while you’re digesting turkey or sneaking away from family for a few minutes.

We took the NJ Boat Safety Course with Capt. Jess, she’s smart, safe and we learned a lot. From there we heard about her and Capt. Vin’s podcast and we have enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Highly recommended.
