John Moffatt (producer)

John Moffatt (born June 19 1964) was an American television producer now famed as a world record holder for distance travelled on a personal water craft (PWC).

He was born in Evanston, Illinois. He was an associate producer of "Full House" on ABC from 1994 to 1995. He set the world record for distance traveled on a personal water craft in the summer of 2000 on a 12' Yamaha after traveling 5,604 miles in 80 days, completing the American Great Circle Route. The trip was to raise awareness of Crohn's Disease, a disease from which his sister suffers.

The record was later broken by teams from Australia and South Africa. Moffatt successfully set another distance world record on a PWC in 2007. The trip cost approximately $45,000 and was financed with the help of his sponsors, Torco Racing Fuels and Sea Doo. He left Miami on June 8 2007 and returned to Miami after travelling 11,525 miles on October 18 2007, and set a new world record.
