Mitch McGrane: First Mate, Captain & Shark Specialist
Mitch’s enthusiasm for learning as much as possible about the ocean realm began at an early age growing up minutes away from the beautiful beaches of the Ocean State. One viewing of JAWS at the age of seven and he was hooked on sharks. That quest for knowledge naturally led to a SCUBA certification and the pursuit of a B.S. in Marine Biology. Upon graduating Mitch spent a better part of the next year conducting field research with great white sharks in South Africa. He then set his sights back to New England where he worked the waters commercially and eventually fulfilled the requirements necessary for a 25GRT certification from the US Coast Guard. One glimpse of the R/V Warfish while out jigging squid one night was all it took to rekindle that childhood passion for studying sharks. This will be Mitch’s first full season skippering the Warfish after extensive training in 2020 and his appetite for learning has never been higher.
