Captain
Timothy "Tim" Dillon
A native of South Florida, Captain Tim has
been fishing the local waters of Palm Beach as a professional for
over 20 years. He got his start at an early age as First Mate in the
Blue Heron Drift Fishing Fleet on a 72' Breaux Brothers Drift
Boat. Some of his earnings from this early job actually went towards
his private high school education.
Since then, Capt. Tim has worked
the last 15 years as Captain, First Mate, or Mate Engineer on numerous
Sportfish Yachts ranging from 45' - 60'. He even spent a summer on
a Dive Charter vessel in the Bahamas.
A fisherman at heart, having
spent thousands of tournament and charter hours working the cockpit
as well as the helm, Capt. Tim has a unique appreciation of what it
takes to catch fish. He spends a significant amount of time before
each charter preparing tackle, rigging baits, and making sure that
Island Clan is in perfect running condition. All of this to insure
the best offshore experience for our customers.
Dads beware!
Capt. Tim's favorite customers are kids. He really like to see kids
light up when they reel in their first sailfish, wahoo or dolphin.
So Dad, if you want to reel in some fish, you will have to wait for
Junior or Junior-ette. But, you usually don't have to wait long!
Captain Timothy "Sparky" Reichenberg
Well,
with another Captain Tim aboard, we had to call him something. Sparky
has been working the cockpit on Island Clan for some time now. He
is a native of Maryland and has extensive experience fishing in some
of the big money tournaments up there.
Tim decided to move away
from captaining private yacths, the latest of which was a 61' Viking, to
spend more time doing what he loves. Fishing! On Island Clan, no less!
