Pirate" John Hughes     owner

In true pirate fashion his passions are: “Beer, Boats, Babes” - and not necessarily in that order.

On one of his many trips to Key West, John garnered the nickname that has stuck with him through the years - “Pirate” John. Back then he was a hippie, and in Key West, hippies are considered Pirates. John’s no stranger to the open waters, as he’s traveled most of the world working at the helm, as Captain on charter or fishing boats; primarily from Alaska to Key West ports.

John began visiting Lake Havasu about 12 years ago while on a whim traveling through and fell in love with the town and the beer.


Stephanie Martin      General Manager

Stephanie is our General manager. She has been with us since 2012, and we couldn’t imagine our lives without her! She is always happy. And she has the best dance moves anyone has ever seen. If the radio plays anything that sounds even slightly similar to an 80’s rock ballad, she’s up on her feet and a dance party has started! And don’t even get her started on Motley Crüe- Stephanie is their number 1 fan- I heard she even won a Motley Crüe sudden death ultimate obscure trivia contest once.

Besides spending time with her very active son, she is on the Board of the K-12 Foundation for LHUSD #1, a member of the Lake Havasu City Rotary Club, a 2018 Graduate of Leadership Lake Havasu, and Board member for the Lake Havasu Chamber Foundation for Education and Leadership. She also does a pretty good job of making sure things are running smooth on the daily.
