ABOUT US
We have lived, worked and played in the Marquette area since the late 80's and we are both graduates of Northern Michigan University located here in town. Christie is a Middle School Teacher (and boat captain!) and Jamie works in the medical device industry in sales management and training. We both grew up boating and have owned dozens of different boats throughout our lives, but ITLL DO is the best yet! We also own and operate two AirBnb rentals in the area and we are passionate about sharing the beauty of the U.P. with visitors. Feel free to shoot us a text with any questions! We'd love to take you out for a ride!
