In 2002, Desmond returned to his home in Port Jefferson and began his business, Celtic Quest Inc., which he owns and operates today. Our humble beginnings started in Mt Sinai Harbor, where we kept our first boat on a mooring and picked everyone up at the boat ramp. The Celtic Quest was a 45-foot, 30-passenger boat with no frills, to say the least. It was a boat that has seen some epic fishing trips for sure! Luckily, with the tremendous fishing in our area and the great fortune of receiving a berth in Port Jefferson Harbor. Thankfully, the business grew over the years, and we have fished with tens of thousands of fishermen and are on our 5th boat, including the latest addition, the Celtic Grace, a beautiful 80-foot fishing yacht!
