Captain: Ryan Dunn

Captain Ryan Dunn

Ryan was born and raised on the Mississippi gulf coast where, as a child, he spent many weekends on a boat.

His career spans vessels ranging from fishing charter boats, prize winning sportfish boats to offshore supply vessels up to 225ft and luxury yachts. Yachting gives him the joy of showing people new experiences that will last a lifetime. Creating memories from catching someone their first fish to an unforgettable dive at a beautiful remote island really gives him a sense of fulfillment. Ryan looks forward to making each charter unique and special for each guest onboard JUS CHILL’N 3.
