Captain: Brian Philips

By 1971 he was owner operator of the commercial F/V Osprey in Port Orford. At the age of 25, he was the Captain of several corporate boats in the PNW. By the early 90’s he worked up through dragging vessels and mid water trawling in the PNW and the Bering Sea in Dutch Harbor, AK but decided to change careers to the charter fishing industry in lieu of being away from home so much. As it worked out after getting his merchant marine license, he ended up in Depoe Bay, OR running the Sunrise for Tradewinds Charters. It worked out well as he had always loved Depoe Bay and was able to raise his family here with his sons and daughters growing up on the boat. After some years of semi retirement he is now back on the Morning Star.
