YOUR CAPTAINS
U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captains - Capt. Kat and Capt. Bob
Robert Bloecher - Bob hails from Northern Wisconsin (where he was a Building Contractor) and has been extensively exploring Lake Superior for the last 20 years-by kayak, fishing trawler and sailboat. Bob was primary captain of his Catalina Mark II, 42' sailboat which he took down the Mississippi River system and across the Gulf. Diggerkat wintered in Key West and the Bahamas, where Bob and Kat hosted charter guests during the winter months. Unfortunately, DiggerKat was damaged beyond repair in Hurricane Irma--so Bob now devotes himself to sailing Manitou during our Lake Superior Season.
Bob is an experienced fishing guide-always eager to drag a line, employ the down rigger and, hopefully, catch dinner. When not sailing or fishing the Big Lake you can find him trout fishing the streams and rivers throughout the Bayfield Peninsula.
Kathryn Jensen - Kat is from Northern MN-Grand Rapids and has been sailing for almost as long as she can remember. Kat loves restoring classic boats-and provides the elbow grease (and patience) for Manitou's spit and polish. She is also a certified wedding officiant and performs weddings on board Manitou or on land as needed. When not sailing, Kat is a philanthropic consultant for foundations and non-profits.
Bob and Kathryn were married on board Manitou in August, 2006.
Manitou Sailing Charters is operated by Whistling Star Enterprises Ltd.
