Owner

Hi, I’m Daniel — a sailor and creative based in Los Angeles. I own and operate a beautifully maintained 1976 Challenger 35 Ketch docked in Marina del Rey. For me, sailing is about presence, rhythm, and real connection — whether it's a quiet sunset cruise, a team offsite with meaning, or just a reset from the noise of the city. I love helping guests create moments that feel personal and unforgettable. Let’s get you on the water.
