Hey, I’m Jake, the owner of Jake’s Luau Lounge. I started this business to share the easygoing, unforgettable days on the water that I’ve always loved. While Captain Dax leads the cruises, I make sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly from start to finish. With years of boating experience and my own 6-Pack license, my goal is to make every trip relaxed, memorable, and filled with good vibes. Let’s enjoy the water the way it should be—worry-free, fun, and truly unforgettable.

Captain Dax Powell brings over 25 years of hands-on experience on the water and a deep love for the Gulf Coast to every cruise. As a fully licensed and safety-focused captain, Dax is known for his calm confidence, local knowledge, and easygoing personality that instantly puts guests at ease. Whether he’s navigating scenic routes, spotting dolphins, or tailoring the trip to match the group’s vibe, Dax takes pride in creating smooth, memorable, and worry-free experiences. With him at the helm, every outing is safe, relaxed, and packed with great moments on the water.
