Captain Tyler Quaresimo

Captain Tyler grew up on the water, learning the trade early by digging clams alongside his father. Raised in the party boat industry, his family owns and operates the Miss Montauk in Montauk, NY, which laid the foundation for a lifelong career on the sea.

Before building the Simple Life at just 19 years old, Tyler gained hands-on experience across various fisheries — clamming, scalloping, long lining, dragging, and gill netting. He successfully ran Simple Life Charters from 2018 through 2025, then spent the winter of 2025 learning the fisheries of the Morehead City area.

In 2026, he was grateful for the opportunity to take over the Carolina Princess business.

While he enjoys all types of fisheries, nothing compares to the joy of creating lasting memories for his customers out on the water.
