The two businesses, one of which focuses on whale viewing and the other on sport fishing, will formally open its doors to the public on April 1; a ceremony to cut the ribbon in front of the public will take place on May 9 at 5:00 p.m. It has been operating on the wharf since 1949, and since 1981, it has been owned and operated by peter bruno. Randy’s Fishing Trips & Whale Watching was recognized as one of the best whale watching and sport fishing outfits in Monterey Bay. The company had two boats, the 61-foot chubasco and the 53-foot sur randy, the latter of which was our primary boat. Discovery Whale Watch provides ash dispersion expeditions, private charters, and other types of excursions in addition to their regular whale watching tours that last between three and four hours and are narrated by a marine scientist or naturalist. The following is an excerpt from their mission statement: “we endeavor to give our guests with an inspirational, instructive experience on Monterey Bay.” The expeditions, which take place throughout the year and are dependent on favorable weather conditions, go to various places inside the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in order to watch whales, dolphins, and other forms of marine life. j & m sport fishing is a company that specializes in providing sport fishing excursions for a wide range of fish, such as salmon (when it is in season), rock cod, ling cod, dungeness crab, sand dabs, squid, mackerel, halibut, and albacore. John Mayer and Mathew Arcoleo have taken over as the new proprietors of the two businesses. The Chubasco is now undergoing renovations to make it a more pleasant and hospitable whale-watching vessel, and they are in the process of converting the Sur Randy into a fishing-only vessel. They have plans to add a third boat to the fleet, and it is anticipated that it will be completed in time for the opening in April. about John Mayer John Mayer’s future as an owner of Randy’s Fishing Trips and Whale Watching was almost predetermined to some extent. His first employment was at Randy’s Fishing, where he washed boats at the age of fourteen. Within a matter of weeks, he was promoted to the position of deckhand, and by the time he turned 18, he had racked up sufficient hours on the water to submit an application for a captain’s license. …and he did get it. He continued to serve as a member of Randy’s boats’ crews and even took the helm while Randy was away. Nearly a decade of his life was devoted to his employment at the Fisherman’s Wharf Institution. John made the decision to sign up for monterey bay whale watch when he was in his late 20s. He ended up working there for seven years and making 3,000 journeys out into the monterey bay national marine sanctuary during that time. When asked about the switch from mostly fishing expeditions to whale watching tours, he responded by saying that he had “adapted rather well.” “whale watching was just as intriguing, if not more so, to me than the other activities. What really gets me going is the fact that I really appreciate trying to figure out what’s going on in the water. I find it extremely interesting. all that is out there, down to the smallest detail, and how everything comes together.” John, who is now 36 years old and was born in Santa Cruz but reared in Pacific Grove, has had a profound and unwavering fascination in the water since he was a little child. It is thus a dream come true to be a partner in a business that engages in both whale viewing and fishing. “ever since I worked as a deckhand for Randy’s Fishing, I’ve been fantasizing of doing something like this,” he adds. I have always had a great deal of admiration and respect for the folks who are doing this. But getting started in this industry can be quite costly, so I told myself that if the right individual came along, I would consider making the investment. And I couldn’t have asked for a greater business partner than Matthew.” John first became acquainted with Matthew via Matthew’s daughter, who was working as an intern with Monterey Bay Whale Watch at the time. After getting to speak to one another during mathew’s visit to Monterey with his daughter, the two men discovered that they had a similar goal. The end result was the establishment of two businesses, discovery whale watching and j&m sport fishing (j&m being an abbreviation of their first names, of course). Both businesses are owned equally by the two individuals. According to what he has said, “we aim to educate people and create a terrific experience for them.” “We want to portray the tale of the ocean, its inhabitants, and the habitat that it lives in.” and to do that, we are in the process of assembling an all-star cast.” concerning matthew arcoleo Even though he has been working in the high-tech business in the bay region for nearly 30 years, Mathew Arcoleo’s origins are in Monterey, and more specifically on Fisherman’s Wharf. One may even claim that it runs in his family. Mathew’s great-grandfather was the first person to establish a sport fishing business on fisherman’s wharf. Mathew’s grandpa and father both owned frank’s fishing excursions on the wharf. Mathew’s great-grandfather was the first person to start a sport fishing business on fisherman’s wharf. not only that, but before he went off to college, young Matthew earned the endearing nickname of “wharf rat” due to the fact that he used to hang around at his father’s business and serve as a deckhand on his boats when he was a teenager. Mathew was born in Monterrey and reared there. He attended public schools in Monterrey as well as Monterrey Peninsula College before transferring to San Jose State University to get a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. Mathew is a native of Monterrey. In addition, he earned his master’s degree in business administration from Santa Clara University, and he was well on his way to having a successful career in the semiconductor sector. However, he was aware that he would eventually feel the need to return to Monterey. About his return to monterey and a business partnership on the wharf with john mayer, a fellow “wharf rat,” he adds, “it’s something i’d always dreamed i’d accomplish one day.” “Monterey has always seemed like it was my home to me. I also have a boat that I use to go whale watching, fishing, and other outdoor activities with my children and other friends. In addition, to make the monterey connections even more concrete, john mayer was captaining the boat for monterey bay whale watching when mathew scattered his father’s ashes at sea; one of the principals of mbww, richard ternullo, was a cousin of his; and his daughter, brooke, worked as a summer intern on one of mbww’s boats, which also happened to be captained by john mayer. It was on one of these outings that Matthew and John first began discussing the possibility of starting their own business on the dock. Because Randy’s was up for sale, Mathew and John believed this was their opportunity to make their dream come true, but only if they could do it the correct way, which required them to establish two distinct businesses in addition to expanding their fleet with a new vessel. Mathew, who resides in Campbell, California, believes that “we believe in having two firms, each one focused on its core.” “We believe in having two organizations,” He is the father of three children: a daughter and two boys, as well as his wife, Carrie, who teaches elementary school. Matthew has the desire to visit Monterey again someday. “Whale viewing is what discovery whale watching is all about. The boats that are utilized will be sanitized and prepared for that purpose.
