Adventures with Ben and Stacy
Our Story
Adventures with Ben and Stacy all began in 2020 when 2 souls united on the top of Mt. Tabor, Portland, with a comet flying overhead. Our Grand Adventures began and we took notes in our phones of what adventures we wanted to experience together in this life. One of these adventures reads “Build a Charter Boat Adventure Business.” The rest is history.
