Knowledgeable captain great boat and the perfect host. We will see you next time!
Jose and Alex are the best what an experience we had. From learning the sail boat to trying new foods. Stepping out of my comfort zone was the best decision. Even got to see a sea turtle and drive the vessel.
Wow, this was an incredible experience for a very reasonable price. Jose and Alexandria’s hospitality and generosity is unmatched. I left the boat with two new friends, and I will definitely be keeping their information for future trips. We did a trip around Fort Lauderdale, and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins! We swam around in the beautiful and refreshing water and we had some incredible snacks, wellness drinks, and a meal at the end. All very healthy, and we left the boat feeling much better than we did when we got on. That’s the power of high quality, healthy food. Everything about this trip was amazing, but I must say the best part was their kindness. They took great care of me and my friends. Wonderful people and a very impressive boat!
Our USCG 100-ton Master's credentials provide you with fun. In 2018, my partner and I embarked on an epic journey from Spain to Greece. We're not just captains—you're your guides to a seamless sailing experience, whether delivering yachts or training new owners. But our support doesn't end there—we offer comprehensive maintenance training and assistance with preventive programs for all vessel systems, ensuring smooth sailing for everyone, even the boatless! My love for sailing was ignited in the Caribbean, where I honed my skills under the mentorship of John Martin. Since then, I've navigated the seas, mastering everything from sail handling to chart plotting. With over 15 months aboard the 60’ 'Elisa' and experience as 2nd Mate on various sailboats, including a 68’ monohull Frances Herreshoff design ketch, I bring expertise to every voyage. Safety is non-negotiable, but so is fun—after all, as they say, "Safety is my primary consideration," but let's not forget to enjoy the journey!
