Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts officially welcomed the first three South Florida members to its newly announced Expedition Outfitters program at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show—Captains Ray Rosher of Miami, Billy Black of Stuart and Randy Towe of Islamorada.

Shedd and Guy Harvey Outpost Resort president Mark Ellert along with renowned marine wildlife artist and conservationist Guy Harvey officially inducted the new South Florida members at the Bahia Mar location at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
