Meet our crew
Regent D0ray
Regent has skippered the water taxi since 1995 in the coastal waters off Campbell River. Regent originally moved to British Columbia to go tree planting. He worked his way through the ranks of the tree planting industry and eventually became a project supervisor. He would ride the water taxi to work and his interest in becoming a professional mariner grew. Regent began working for Discovery Launch in 1995. He bought the business in 1998 and hasn’t looked back!
