VIVA LA SEA SAFARI GUIDES: TAYLOR & JOEY

Captain Funzo & The Dolphin Boat

Venice doesn’t care about polish. It cares about passion. And few people live that out like Taylor Collins — better known around here as Captain Funzo (@captainfunzo).

Raised by professional water skiers and raised on the water, Taylor never really had a chance at a normal life — thank god. ;)

She’s been orbiting the sun and this beach town for nearly two decades, dodging adulthood and chasing adventure with a sailor’s grin and wind-battered hair.

At some point along the shoreline, she met Joey — a Catalina harbor patrolman turned unlikely soulmate — and what started as a love story turned into something even weirder: they built a boat.

What’s This All A-BOAT?

The Dolphin Boat.

Born from seven chaotic months in a boatyard — full of sanding, shouting, dreaming, and duct tape — it became a vessel for something better than perfection: joy.

Now, they take people out into the Santa Monica Bay in search of dolphins, sea lions, and those unspoken moments when you remember that everything’s still alright — even if it’s wild, loud, and slightly off course.

Step Aboard.

Less than a year in, they’ve hosted hundreds of people. Tourists. Neighbors. Kids who’ve never seen the ocean. And every ride is a little reminder: the ocean doesn’t need to be fancy to blow your mind.
