Deckhand | Jason Williams | American

A born and raised Florida native, Jason grew up surrounded by activities that helped shaped the career path he’s taken as a waterman. Being raised around boats, Jason grew up with a waterman family – going on weekly outings to the beaches, fishing, and diving or to the lake for watersports. In 2011, Jason moved to Kona, Hawaii where he began his boating career, fishing for big game on the Kona coast. Here is also where he took up the art of fire dancing – eventually moving to Miami to pursue this as a career. Knowing it would take some time to build, Jason relied on yachting for income, getting his first position as a deckhand on a 100’ vessel. He learned all the skills to run a deck and ultimately worked his way up to the 200’ range, where he landed a gig with a great Captain and crew that he stuck with for several years. Jason now owns his own entertainment company for fire dancing, and on occasion, shares his talents while on charter. Jason joined the team on OCEAN LIFE in September 2022.
