First Mate

What began as a simple bocce ball carrier evolved into so much more: The First Mate beach carrier is the perfect personal sized version of our Captain. Pockets galore and our famous open-sided styling keep you looking stylish as you tote all your beach necessities- including your bocce ball set. This purchase does not include bocce balls.

Like all Carter & Co. carriers, the First Mate boasts hand sewn, American-made quality. Each carrier is individually signed by the artist.

• Size: 20” by 17”

Why sacrifice style when you go to the beach? Our American-made products began with a need: we had too much stuff to carry to the beach and needed a tote. From the original product, a beach carrier made of untreated duck canvas and Richlite handles, we’ve developed other functional and beautiful tools to help you transport and keep up with your things – in style! Each is designed for ease of use and constructed of top-quality materials for long life. Headed to the beach, to the pool, or even to work? We have something stylish for you.

From the kitchen table to Good Morning America…

Carter and Brandi McGuyer made the first Captain carrier at their kitchen table in 2010, in order to transport all of their important beach gear from the house to the shore. They weren’t prepared for the attention the carrier received, and, at the request of friends, began making them for others. When Good Morning America found them and featured the Captain carrier on the show, an industry was born. Today, the original Captain carrier is one of many functional and stylish products made in America for families who want to keep up with their things – beautifully!
