Jeff Jacobs
I believe being on the water should be fun!! I’m a very fun Captain and enjoy being around people! I have grown up in the waters around the Charleston’s coastline. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful area. Let’s get on the water and enjoy it!!! As a Captain of big and small boats of all kinds you and your crew will be safe with me.
I am a USCG 100 Ton Master Captain. I’ve owned and captained boats as well as motor yachts from 18 feet up to 83 feet in length. I was born and raised in Charleston, SC. and have navigated the waters of the Gulf of Mexico around Florida all the way up the east coast Atlantic Ocean to Maryland. I would rather be on the water than anywhere else!

Patrick Mangum
Captain Patrick’s love for the water started during his childhood while vacationing in Ocean City, MD with his family every summer. At a very early age, his interests in boats shaped his journey to making this industry his full time career. A graduate of SUNY Maritime College, Patrick earned his unlimited tonnage USCG license and worked commercially on waterways domestic and abroad. An opportunity to work shoreside brought him to Charleston in 2015, where he has become passionate about fishing and cruising the local waterways. Currently on his 7th boat, Patrick welcomes everyone onboard the Patty Wagon to experience the beautiful lowcountry waters.
