Fred Cardet is an avid spearfisherman who has been boating and fishing for fifty years. Since retiring in 2017 from his career as an orthopedic surgeon, Fred has devoted his time to his passion: spearfishing. He appreciates how much more enjoyable spearfishing is when he’s not fatigued from fighting the roll on his boat and how much easier it is to put on his gear. After taking a Seakeeper demo ride, Fred’s wife turned to him and said “We NEED a Seakeeper!” The decision was made.

Fred shares his love for the ocean with three grown children, a daughter and two sons, who are all great divers and responsible stewards of the sea. They all agree that when the boat rocks, maneuvering around a wet deck full of gear and fish can become hazardous, but they don’t need to worry about that anymore!
